I just can't. I have 20 responses, but I just can't. I have to believe these "people" will be relegated to the trash heaps of society, where they belong, one day. I have to believe it to get up every day.

“Do you know what it’s like to be in the operating room with a 23-year-old woman who’s been tied to a tree and raped so much you can’t tell the difference between her vagina and her anus?"

A graphic Janae Shamp question derailed a state senate hearing. By @morgfisch.bsky.social:
Video: GOP lawmaker’s rape question derails Arizona Senate hearing

Don't fall for the hype.

Like other Trump [failed] businesses, TrumpRX benefits Big Pharma the most. TrumpRX prices are often beat by a wide margin at the existing GoodRx website ... which was not stood up by a convicted felon grifter.

Up early, reflecting on the difference between my husband's medical experiences with doctors regarding pain & anxiety and mine. He had pain for years before a replacement surgery and still has it after - he's had a literal unending supply of prescription pain medicines available to him from many drs

Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.”

Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

The meeting is adjourned. Mayor Kevin Sartor ended the long meeting by saying “We hear you, we have a lot to consider and your voices are impactful and powerful.” Surprise showed tf up. The overflow room filled + hundreds outside. It ended with only 2 speakers in favor of the ICE camp.

Nobody is accepting the mayor and council’s weak statement, excuses that the deal is done, and that they had no knowledge of the purchase — They’ve been repeatedly called failures to the community and speakers keep recommending ways the City can take actionable steps to stop this concentration camp.

A Surprise resident said that, if this camp gets finalized, it will turn Surprise into an “epicenter of protests,” and lead to more death and more violence. “This doesn’t belong in anyone’s backyard or anywhere in the United States.”

Touche! Arizonans hate homeless people. No more than others though.
Residents are chiding the council and mayor for saying they had no idea this facility was being bought by DHS. “It was your job to know,” said a speaker who called the council “failures.” Another said they wouldn’t be making these “we can’t do anything” excuses if it was a proposed homeless shelter.

Seems like the citizens of Suprise have work to do in the next elections.
Tonight will be the first Surprise City Council meeting since the Jan. 23rd sale. According to the City, federal projects are not subject to local zoning regulations. They also claim they were unaware of the purchase.

🤢🤮 goddamn. leave women alone.
The cultural obsession with wellness and optimization, which is currently driven and designed by male biohackers, has come for the murky pre-conception period, coined “The Zero Trimester” by sociologist Miranda Waggoner in her 2017 book by the same name. www.wired.com/story/pregna...
Why Are Some Women Training for Pregnancy Like It’s a Marathon?
A growing legion of “zero trimester” influencers are convincing followers that healthy pregnancies are a choice—and that raw milk, watching sunsets, and pricey specialized courses can help.
