That only works in a logic that says that "human" excludes anyone not "cishet Christian healthy wealthy white male privilege." No one else can be covered in that zero sum logic. If they don't get all the rights to do whatever they want to anyone & anything, *their* "human" rights are being infringed
Countries that have abortion access, DEI policies or protection for LGBTQ+ people will be considered “human rights violators“ by the Trump regime
We’re in the upside down.

This is men's rights activism taken to the furthest extreme. This is the corruption of patriarchy that has lain (not so) hidden for millennia. It is an immature worldview insisting on dominance by virtue of force and aggression rather than value to the whole of the society they conveniently ignore.

It's coming out more and more that the GOP Representatives are just as stupid as their voters. They didn't read 2025. They didn't think "their voters" would be hurt. They didn't think insurance would really go up that much.
On Monday, we call our Senators. And we tell them.

CONFIRMED: HPV vaccine prevents cervical cancer.
“Girls vaccinated before age 16 were 80% less likely to develop cervical cancer. The reviews also confirm that HPV vaccines are only likely to cause minor, transient side effects such as a sore arm.”
Ever have colposcopy? That pain is NOT transient.

Two new Cochrane reviews show strong and consistent evidence that HPV vaccines are effective in preventing cervical cancer and pre-cancerous changes, especially when given to young people before they are exposed to the virus.

"A growing body of research suggests that minimum wages distort economies in ways that do not immediately appear in jobs numbers."
Maybe The Economist should focus on how tech companies with inflated valuations distort economies instead of targeting low income folks.

This is a deeply sexist take, given that ~2/3 of minimum wage workers in the US are women.
