I drove a cab late night in a city in law school and it was not uncommon for people to call A BUDGET TAXI rather than an ambulance because they were judging if their medical emergency was serious enough to justify bankruptcy, so you know, fuck this guy.

Giving parents the discretion not to vaccinate their kids is one of the strongest ways the state reinforces the parent-child relationship as one of ownership.

Your parents have the ability to decide whether you will die of preventable disease, because you are their property not a person.
To be very clear: Kennedy's team is messing with a vaccine which has led to a 99 percent drop in the incidence of hepatitis B, which kills, early and painfully, 25 percent of the children who get it.

The SANDBOX Act isn’t a harmless regulatory bill, it lets big tech companies get away with being a bully at the playground.

Forty years ago, 90% of media outlets were spread across 50 companies.

Now, just 5 companies control 90% of the media market.

This consolidation hurts consumers and helps oligarchs. 🧵

"In the days following the event, the woman says she hasn’t been able to sleep, is in physical pain from the way she was handled by the agents, and keeps reliving what happened. “The way I was treated left me feeling traumatized, humiliated, degraded, and unheard.”"
“Traumatized, humiliated, degraded.”

The nurse, a US citizen, 4’11”, 85 lbs, says she was following orders when she was dragged out of her car by masked immigration agents in Florida.

It was the 3rd time she had been stopped and told to produce ID.

Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders.

What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

One of the reasons servicemembers, from admirals and generals to the greenest private, should know “don’t follow illegal orders” is that this administration is a goulash of dishonorable character flaws like cowardice and dishonesty. There is no bus under which these pissants will not throw you.

Five officials told us that Hegseth had nothing to do with the second strike

Gay and trans people don't matter to Democrats anymore because apparently we are the strong floor now

so I think a better line of attack nowadays is that KOSA is just for giving your data to Trump.
🚨‼️As of yesterday KOSA is at 64 cosponsors with @vanhollen.senate.gov + @kim.senate.gov - who claim to support LGTBQ+ rights but are clearly okay with supporting legislation that’ll censor us off the internet- newly signed on.
