Needing multiple streams of income to stay afloat is a societal failure not a personal one. You should be able to afford a comfortable lifestyle with one job. You are not lazy.

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

The White House’s discretionary budget includes a 93% cut to the Appalachian Regional Commission. This will be devastating to a region that is already falling behind the rest of the country.

SCOOP — ICE employees received an email yesterday telling them the agency's warrantless arrest policy had been rescinded. It's likely part of the Trump administration's efforts to further loosen enforcement restrictions to meet the new quota of 3,000 immigration arrests per day.

My report:
ICE agents get green light to make unjustified warrantless arrests
The agency announced an accountability policy has been rescinded.

Pregnant people living in states with abortion bans are almost twice as likely to die during pregnancy or shortly after giving birth, according to a new Gender Equity Policy Institute report.

The report found the risk is even higher for Black women in those states.
