No one experiencing the tragedy of a miscarriage should be arrested, much less abandoned in jail for 5 months with a $100k bond. But that’s exactly what happened to Mallori Patrice Strait in Texas. Women, particularly women of color, in this country are no longer allowed dignity even in extreme loss

Good morning and Happy Sunday to everyone who agrees that Republicans really don't give a shit about the poor by cutting SNAP benefits.
REMINDER that the Biden Administration proudly cut child hunger in HALF. The trump Admin is probably going to double or triple it.

One of the executive orders this week prevents federal agencies from communicating about health or science. This means that NIH researchers can't attend planned conferences. The CDC can't publish a scheduled report on avian flu. The FDA cannot communicate regarding in-process drug approvals.
