Before retinol was a skincare fad, its ingredients were tested on hundreds of incarcerated people, the majority of whom were Black.
People in prison were also subjected to untested pharmaceuticals and toxic chemicals, without regard for their safety or consent.

Fox News reported that JD Vance had to move to an “undisclosed location” due to protests at the Vermont resort where he’s skiing this weekend. For inflicting misery on the world and here at home in America, this is exactly the energy that should greet Vance wherever he goes for the rest of his days.

Politicians are by and large not movement leaders - they are the ones who see where the movements, and votes, are going.
That's a feature and not a bug - so be the movement they will need to follow, and be accountable to.

For those asking where the Dems are, I might suggest: the right didn’t wait on the Republicans. They plotted the course & the Republicans followed, at first in small packs, but eventually all falling in line. The left may have to do something similar. Don’t wait on “the Democrats”. Show them the way

it’s true and it’s been driving me up the wall also and: the exec orders only have force to the extent that they give permission to institutions that were never all that committed to our so-called rights to abandon whatever they think they can now get away with
i am going to put a finer point on this: executive orders are not laws. and they certainly are not royal decrees. they are interpretations of existing law for the purposes of enforcement. the fact that so many people are treating them as laws is actually driving me a bit insane.
i mean, the president's executive order isn't a goddamn law! as far as this doctor is concerned, who cares what the president says!
