So common for men to leave
Many men won’t stay with their partners when they become chronically ill.

Others stay, but gaslight you and don’t believe you’re really sick.

I had an ex sneak me food he knew I was allergic to. His goal? “Prove” it was in my head.

When the anaphylaxis resolved, I dumped him

Israel has not only been trying to destroy an entire people - genocide - it has also been trying to destroy its culture and knowledge - epistemicide.

It will fail, but those involved must be brought to justice.

Who cut the $1000 Kickstarter? National
Who reduced the minimum contribution to 3%? National
Who reduced the member tax credit from $1040 to $521? National
Who then reduced the same member tax credit from $521 to $260.72? National.

Don't believe National on Kiwisaver.

The UK is a strongly pro-choice country with 86% of Britons wanting abortion to be legal in all or most cases. But the US anti-choice movement has been investing heavily into campaigns in Britain, and Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party seems to be support the interference.
The worrying rise of US anti-abortion rhetoric is in full force - how deep is Reform UK's involvement?
Money is pouring into anti-abortion campaigns in Britain, and it seems Nigel Farage’s party isn’t pushing back…

Also the comparison to Australia is disingenuous

In Aussie they have a Mandatory Employer Contribution: By law, employers must contribute a minimum of 12% of an eligible employee's pre-tax income to an approved superannuation fund

That's paid in addition to wages and salaries

Minister of Health Simeon Brown is the most militant #antichoice politician in the perfect role to ban #abortion given the chance. He has not changed his views on abortion at all, no matter the evidence that #abortionishealthcare. His religion mandates he ban abortion. Vote them out #nzpol #Luxon

In Rhode Island, ICE arrested an intern who worked for a court, and then a judge intervened to say they had the wrong person.

All leading to a scene where ICE agents surrounded the judge's car and "threatening to smash in the windows if they did not comply." www.wfla.com/news/judge-i...

Remember puberty blockers are not the end goal. They are a compromise, to allow trans kids more time before puberty starts to decide *which* puberty should start

That's a useful tool, but the trial this govt has tied their ban to is testing if they do something else
