"Elon Musk is personally responsible for the deaths of at least 400,000 children" is a stat that should be cited every time he and his pervert fanboys start yapping about birth rates
Elon Musk and the Trump administration gleefully shutting down USAID “has already caused the deaths of six hundred thousand people, two-thirds of them children.”
People throw around terms like genocide quite freely online but it’s hard to find other words to describe this level of man-made death.

New bill will go to Congress to prevent women from being turned away or sent home from hospital while in active labor, after a video circulated of a Black woman writhing in pain at an Indiana hospital. She was told to go home and gave birth in her truck minutes later.

A woman gave birth 8 minutes after a hospital turned her away. A bill aims to stop that from happening again.
The legislation seeks to stop Black women from suffering during and after childbirth and hold hospitals accountable, according to bill language obtained exclusively by NBC News.

The numbers vary from study to study but hundreds of thousands of people have died because of Elon Musk and Marco Rubio illegally disbanding USAID — a body count on par with the first eight years of the Syrian civil war — In just seven months. It’s mass death that is simply unfathomable in scale.

finally, conspiracy theorists will be correct when in saying that "They" are running things
LOOK, all im saying is we've tried patriarchy and if you go back far enough we've even tried matriarchy, but we've never tried rule by neuter gender. i believe we should try something new in this bold new era (i am very unbiased)
I think this shows that right-wing men are too emotional and reactive to govern effectively, this whole “masculinism” thing has gone too far and we need to get back to the traditional feminine values that built this country

Absolutely incredible; after shooting Marimar Martinez 5 times and arresting her on claims that she rammed them and pulled a gun, prosecutors have now moved to dismiss ALL criminal charges against her and her codefendant.
New: the govt has moved to dismiss its assault case against Marimar Martinez and Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, two people accused of "box[ing] in" a Border Patrol vehicle in Chicago on Oct. 4.
One agent shot Martinez, with evidence presented to the court that he later bragged about in text messages.
