The fact that Fort Worth Texas has a back log of over 900 rape kits they 'don't have time' to test, but Texas Sheriffs did have the time to spend a month tracking a woman who MIGHT have been going out of state for an abortion tells you all you need to know about what Texas thinks about women..

McGovern: "This is not a governing philosophy. It is a scam. I wasn't sent here to vote for trash. I can't understand why you'd choose a career of public service to do this -- to rip away the healthcare & food assistance of working & middle class Americans. Is that really what you came here to do?"

Hey world, remember when you thought this was awesome? (Which, by the way, it was). Yeah well she's been suspended for a week now because of it; it's coloniser rules and forms of expression allowed only, indigenous people must only be angry in white ways.

This is my new favorite image because it perfectly encapsulates the concern trolling and crybullying from the right when you give them even a fraction of what they spew out on a consistent basis.

Nobody is yet to convince me that, unless the price of manufacturing butter has substantially increased, this is not bullshit of the highest order.

What I found most telling in this story is that the Government *knew* they had to hide this from the public.
They were so worried it would get out that they didn't do a regulatory impact statement, or even tell their own MPs until a just before they announced it.

Today I’ve been asking two questions: When did the Government start work to scale back the pay equity law, and why was that work kept secret?

Trump and Musk’s decision to arbitrarily fire every worker in the office that helps working class and low income people heat their homes is outrageous.

This is horrifying! Family members of some of the people sent to do hard labor in a Salvadoran prison by Trump confirm their loved ones weren't members of a gang.
One woman said her brother got a tattoo of a rose in Dallas, and because of that they accused him of being a gang member.
