I was a teenager in the early aughts, and it felt out-of-step with so much mainstream opinion to speak out against war. What is happening now is cruel and sad and wrong, and you don't have to let anyone make you feel bad for thinking and saying so.

I bet being a low information voter feels incredible, like going into a Chinese food takeout place and pointing at the picture of the entree that looks the best.

If you are concerned about pregnancy criminalization, unfortunately, what you most need to worry about is what you say to friends, family and health-care workers.
That said, a lot of these apps play extremely fast and loose with people’s data and imo it’s a good idea not to support that

Daniel Penny being acquitted is just going to inspire an increase in people playing vigilante and choking mentally ill and homeless people to death on the subway for being mentally and homeless but apparently most people are cool with that so

yeremi colino, a teenager stabbed to death in NYC last night by a group of men after he told them he didn’t speak english, deserves as much attention as the healthcare CEO, if not more. let’s give it to him. www.amny.com/new-york/man...
