I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.

this is the rape culture btw. the one women have been warning you about, and were told we were hysterical and over-sensitive and couldn't take a joke, and that rape allegations ruin men's lives, and now we live in a meritocracy where the only "merit" is who has hurt the most women

So fuc*ing infuriating and sad. The CDC used to be the crown jewel of the world's scientific firmament. Other countries came to us for help fighting deadly diseases. Its disease detectives learned what caused illness and helped change practices to prevent them. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/26/h...

Don’t believe people who tell you ai can be liberatory or any other misappropriation of movement talk or justice frameworks. Find some people who are preparing to rebuild and cast your lot with them. Then read a bit more. Just keep your wits about you because they are trying to run game.

A former unnamed case manager told Stat that a supervisor directed her to immediately restart a case review process for any patient who won an appeal. “And 99.9 percent of the time, we’re going to turn right back around and issue another [denial],” the former case manager said. “Well, you won, but OK, what’d that get you? Three or four days? You’re going to get another [denial] on your next review, because they want you out.”

Meanwhile Talarico has said he'd ban surgery for minors and, as trans folks on here have pointed out, minors can mean anyone who is up to the age of 25. All you centrist bigots can eat my shorts. I'm not interested in your whinging or your justifications. You're useless to the trans community.

yelling at trans people for criticizing democratic candidates who refuse to affirm their most fundamental rights is not only cruel and wrong, but it is the opposite of effective if you actually care about turning out voters. surely there are other people in america you can focus your energies on.

Oz is out there, saying the quiet part out loud: at its core MAHA isn't about *being* healthy, it's about *feeling* healthy. And it's not motivated by individual freedom, it's about squeezing one more year's worth of labor from each worker. It's exploitation. Plain and simple.

‘AI’ (really ‘machine learning’) is no more than a complex regression algorithm. Literally, a line of best fit with extra steps. A series of sums on a computer processor. It does not think, it does not make decisions, it does not feel. It is not conscious, and it is certainly not sentient.
