Charlie Kirk’s Legacy Deserves No Mourning

More women have nearly bled to death during miscarriage under Texas’ abortion ban. Experts say the trend paints a troubling picture of the harms of unnecessary delays in care. “This is striking,” one doctor said. “The trend is very clear.” (Published July)

A “Striking” Trend: After Texas Banned Abortion, More Women Nearly Bled to Death During Miscarriage
A new ProPublica data analysis adds to the mounting evidence that abortion bans have made the common experience of first-trimester miscarriage far more dangerous.

Oh, don’t worry: Idaho also banned abortion, so they’ll just force people to make more kids to replace the ones who couldn’t hack it.

I guess throwing green dildos onto courts could be “funny” if you’re mentally 12 years old. 🥴 They’re just wasting everybody’s time and being gross at family-friendly events. I bet the Venn diagram between these men and the men concern-trolling about trans women is a circle.

House Republicans passed the biggest health care cut in U.S. history. Senate Republicans’ response? Hold my beer. Now they’re pushing even deeper Medicaid cuts—knowing it’ll shut down rural hospitals, strip care from their own voters, and leave millions hanging.

There are widespread reports of ICE agents abducting people while masked, without warrants or identification. Due to recent events, we strongly advise: do not open your door or car for anyone you don’t know. That’s the message. No need to elaborate.

Zionist Israel can surgically bomb a specific apartment in Tehran to kill a top general without collapsing the whole building But in Gaza, they carpet bomb & annihilate a whole neighbourhood to “target” a rank & file member (the destruction is the goal, the “target” is the pretext)

I don’t think Jewish people are happy about the thousands of dead Palestinian children, but Zionists insist that only Hamas is responsible. No, those bullets and bombs are coming from the IDF. They have a choice in how they fight Hamas, and they are choosing wholesale slaughter and destruction.

There wouldn’t be resistance like this against Israel if they stayed out of Gaza and West Bank, and stopped taking more land from Palestinians every time there’s a conflict. Look at the map of Palestine from 1948 compared to today. ALL people deserve self-determination and freedom.
