Not “underaged girls”!

Girls
Teens
Children
Minors
Middle Schoolers and High Schoolers

No such thing as an “ underage” girl. That’s the language of propaganda and apologists.

We need to quit using the word “ underage” in reference to any of these girls. Girls. Teens. Middle Schoolers and High Schoolers. Children. Under the age of consent. 11-16 year olds.

Underage is not an actual thing.

Not “underaged girls” - “teenagers”, “children” or even just “girls”

Well to follow history… it took Emmett Till’s mother releasing the horrific photos of his beaten body to get the public to finally get white Americans to begin to talk about racial violence and lynching and abuse. Forcing Trump supporters to see his disgusting actions might be necessary.

Not sure about the ethics behind the sale, permissions for those bodies, etc. . That said I DO want all medical personnel to have gross anatomy training. Every medical training program uses cadavers. Did USC know the bodies were training IDF ? Or just sell to the navy for medical schools?

BTW- Approximately 300,000 veterans use ACA marketplaces, and about 340,000 Veterans have coverage through the ACA's Medicaid expansion. In total, around 640,000 veterans have coverage through the ACA, either on the marketplace or through Medicaid expansion.

EVEN when that SNAP funding was available and ready to be dispersed despite the shutdown Trump refused to disperse it-

EVEN after being court ordered to disperse it Trump refused to disperse it-

Taking care of our Veterans and our military families should always have been a top priority. Trump and GOP have demonstrated that they will happily withold desperately needed and readily available SNAP funds in order to succeed in making health care unaffordable for the American public.

not sure- that’s what an article said- they are mostly registering as GOP, working on a unified libertarian platform. Hope it’s a waning movement. it’s definitely creepy. Reminds me of how Reagan /GOP backed by Heritage influenced 40 years of ever more conservative action and policies.

They got concealed carry passed, expanded “school choice”, cut public school funding in one district from 1.7 million to $800,000… that’s what I found in a quick search. I hope their strength is waning but it worries me given the way NH installs party slates not individual candidates..

A NH resident recently told me about the Heritage Foundation’s ongoing (and so far successful) efforts to take over NH by recruiting young, conservative “libertarians” and paying them to move to NH and run for office! Why isn’t this in the news?

Your headline sucks. I fixed it.

So a week of extreme stress, hunger, and disruption were all for nothing. A week of everyday Americans jumping in to feed and care for their neighbors so the Democrats could hold on was just thrown back in our faces. We were willing to do the hard work. The Dems were not.

Knowing they will be evidence at The Hague is cold comfort to their families and loved ones. I understand this post but it sounds a bit dismissive of the tragic loss of life here.

What the heck? So parents can take even more public education money and spend it on even stranger, cultish, evangelical, “dinosaurs aren’t in the Bible and therefore a just a myth” and a girl must be a happy, compliant, brood mare” schooling? Professional educators know education best! Just stop!
