A surprising $3,000 water bill ended their lawn. Then fire torched their yard. What next?

The same people who say Adriana Smith should stay hooked up to machines so a fetus can gestate inside her dead body for 7 months because “it’s a sacrifice a mother would make” can’t fathom a mother crossing the border with her children in hopes of providing a better life for them.

So many disabled and elderly people died in the recent fires here in California. We need better systems. I don’t code but tried talking to my firefighter brother to understand what might help. I built an example. Integrate a Voluntary Registry: Allow users to register themselves or loved ones

I have always wondered how these restrictions on reproductive health cost the insurance more because of the delays it would seem to be against their business interests if they don’t care about the pregnant people
NEW: The morning that Cmdr. Elizabeth Nakagawa was scheduled to have a D&C to remove fetal tissue after losing a very wanted pregnancy, she learned the surgery had been canceled because the military’s health insurance plan refused to pay for it.

A Coast Guard Commander Miscarried. She Nearly Died After Being Denied Care.
U.S. service members have long faced strict limits on abortions, even when used to resolve miscarriages. Under federal law, the military will only pay for abortions in cases of rape, incest or to save the mother’s life.

So to summarize, according to #maga, any Black, gay or trans person who achieves any position, no matter how degreed or credentialed they are is an unqualified #dei hire. And any white person, however unqualified or even sketchy is inherently qualified when they get a job. Do I have that right?
