Pentagon: Pizza-Bestellungen am US-Verteidigungsministerium geben Hinweis auf Israels Großangriff
In der Nacht zu Freitag attackierte Israel Iran. Dass es eine militärische Aktion geben würde, ließ sich in Washington, D.C. offenbar schon absehen – an vielen Pizza-Bestellungen rund ums Pentagon.

“the goal is not to make raising children easier for everyone... it’s about providing a reward for families who do childrearing the ‘right’ way.” (i.e., in large, white, breadwinner/homemaker families)--my take on pronatalism in a great piece by @melissagiragrant.com

The Trump Administration Isn’t Pro-Family. It’s Pro-Patriarchy.
So-called pronatalist policies to increase the birth rate often involve rewarding the “right” kind of family—an exercise that’s hard to separate from its sexist and racist origins.
