If you owe a woman $5 million for sexual assault, you also owe the country your resignation.

When the government plays favorites with religion, someone always gets excluded. This is exactly why church/state separation matters. It protects everyone, including the religious, from being sidelined by someone else’s theology. www.huffpost.com/entry/news-l...

I hear from people who are surprised I'm still talking about ICE, they thought they'd withdrawn from MN. No, they have not. In some respects they've escalated. Some asked why MN is a target. Are there are there a lot more illegals or criminals here? No, it's not about that. It's about a grudge.

When a sitting representative refers to the Super Bowl halftime show as “pornography,” people should use that to reflect on how they and other representatives are simultaneously working to ban, censor, and restrict “pornography” and what that actually means

Well, well, well. This study finding at leucovorin (folinic acid) works as a treatment for autism was recently retracted for statistical errors and concerns over methods. We are shocked❗️that yet another of RFKJ’s snake oil cures doesn’t stand up to scrutiny. www.medpagetoday.com/neurology/au...

This. Accountability matters. No masks, visible badge with traceable badge number, so it’s possible to track down the people who are breaking the law.

You deserve access to abortion care if you are pregnant and do not want to be. Full stop. Your reasons are your reasons and they are good enough. Abortion is healthcare and everyone deserves healthcare access.

A growing body of research indicates that Texas's restrictive abortion bans have negatively impacted the health and lives of Texas women and babies in multiple ways. Across the board, pregnancy outcomes and complications have worsened.

What researchers have discovered about maternal, infant health under Texas' abortion laws
In the more than four years since the state of Texas significantly restricted access to abortion, medical researchers have been studying the health effects of that policy change.

RFKJr makes us sick. Literally. His attack on vaccines fosters measles outbreaks. The spread in South Carolina is mostly among unvaccinated children & teens. Arizona & Utah have outbreaks too. The vaccine is 97% effective. Measles can cause blindness, even death. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

South Carolina measles outbreak is 'accelerating,' driving hundreds into quarantine
Some students who remain unvaccinated are now in a second 21-day quarantine since the beginning of the school year.

My favorite evergreen Molly Ivins quote: "I prefer someone who burns the flag and then wraps themselves up in the Constitution over someone who burns the Constitution and then wraps themselves up in the flag."
Molly Ivins, dressed in a sort of satin blouse with a neckthing that I'm going to call a scarf?.  She's smiling with every cell in her body.  Beaming radiantly the joy of being righteous and kind at the same time.  Her eyes closed almost to a squint, and every pearly white on display.  Gods bless you, Molly, you were a hell of a person.

Today, thousands of openly-transgender service members will put on their uniform and do what needs to be done because they honor their oath to our country, while Pete Hegseth denigrates their service and violates his oath by brazenly sharing classified intel in text groups. Just a reminder.
