Republicans aren’t anti abortion. They’re just more comfortable with kids dying when they’re older, like third graders in classrooms.

Also, feminism has shown the way! Subsidized childcare! Robust, paid parental leave. Tax credits! Reproductive freedom. Universal healthcare. Until they make the world better, there is little incentive to have kids (though they are adorable lil munchkins)

25 dollar minimum wage nationwide & mandatory employee-provided child care & 12 weeks vacation a year also federally mandated would do the trick, fellas. Fellas? Where’d everybody go?

RFK Jr. is very loud and very WRONG about Autism.
1. It’s not a disease
2. There are thousands of people with Autism Spectrum Disorder who pay taxes, have jobs, can use the bathroom on their own, and are thriving in life.

Targeting and abducting a legal U.S. resident for political speech is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. Mahmoud Khalil should be home with his wife.
Trump and Musk want to see what they can get away with.
That’s why we can’t be quiet in the face of their power grab.

NEWS: Last night, the Department of Homeland Security detained a Palestinian who helped lead the Columbia encampment.
Agents told him his visa was revoked. He said he had a green card. They were confused—then said that was revoked too.
His attorney demanded a warrant. Agents hung up instead.

It wasn't a "tense exchange" or a "shouting match", It was the American president and VP attacking an ally on live television, lying, acting like tyrants.
In a long list of despicable, grotesque displays from this WH what just happened in the Oval Office is close to the top. What a shameful day.
