A teenager in North Carolina has been arrested for assault with a "deadly weapon" after taking abortion medication. @kylietcheung.bsky.social has been doing such an incredible job with these pieces on post-Dobbs criminalization

My dad and I are pathologically early to everything. When we make a plan to go somewhere together we both add in extra time “just in case” and end up arriving absurdly early.

Same, I have heard this my WHOLE LIFE. My twin and I are different genders assigned at birth, have different hair colors and heights, and our faces don’t look much alike. To this day we occasionally get asked if we are identical. I used to answer, “What does identical mean?”

This statement is disgraceful. Do better. Not only is it xenophobic and creepily nationalistic; but also Liu, Gu, and every individual athlete deserve to be applauded for their own achievements. Don’t demean women by fake-pitting them against each other.

Heartbreaking. I feel like what’s missing in anti-vax parents’ decision-making is the devastation of these diseases (even after COVID, smh). They don’t seem to see vaccines as prevention of suffering. They don’t seem to fear measles/rubella/polio/pertussis/tetanus/etc. as a threat of death.

In our local HS, students are required to keep their phones in their backpacks during class. If they are caught using a phone, the teacher keeps it at their desk until the end of the class. It’s not complicated to make school policies that respect students while also holding them to account.

A mother in Minneapolis was abducted by ICE and sent to a detention center in Texas, leaving behind a 16 year old and a 3-month old baby. The baby was breastfed and hadn't eaten in a over day. Then a superhero arrived with 350 oz of breastmilk, bottles & extra clothes. 19thnews.org/2026/02/minn...

When one mother was taken by ICE, another stepped in to donate breastmilk
Moms in Minneapolis are donating diapers, food and time to help families who have been ripped apart by ICE.

NEW: A Texas county medical examiner found that Geraldo Lunas Campos was choked to death by a guard while he was held in ICE custody earlier this month. Geraldo is the sixth person to die in ICE detention this year.

I voted NO on H.R. 7147, the FY 2026 Department of Homeland Security appropriations bill, which would continue to fund ICE & Customs and Border Protection at outrageous levels and further enable the Trump Administration’s racist enforcement actions against immigrant communities across this country.

When my son was younger, we kept a running list of dogs we met with food names. A memorable pair were named Ekmek (bread in Turkish) and Mantequilla (butter in Spanish).

I think under 20% of NHL players are American. If this survey only counts the American players’ political affiliations, I don’t know that it’s a representative statistic league-wide. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Aren’t only about 15-20% of NHL players American?

Meanwhile this petty bit of dishonesty/other case of non-disclosure absolutely defines Brooks for all time and should have been his professional tombstone.
