That sound you heard was every GOP elected official with a lick of sense absolutely SHITTING themselves thinking about the visual of Mark Kelly back in uniform before a military court as Whiskey Pete's handpicked chucklefucks try to railroad him on bogus charges.

You’d think “Jeffrey Epstein offered our reporter pictures of the president with bikini-clad girls in Epstein’s kitchen” would be a story all on its own, no?

If you're writing any historical fiction set in the UK in the first half of the 20th century, I can't recommend www.1900s.org.uk enough.
It's run by a retired academic who's trying to archive what life was like then for normal people, and it's got all kinds of little details you'd never make up.

Does this mean that married women could be forced to have their passports in their maiden names? Are passports used to attest to historical facts at birth or to prove citizenship? If the latter, what is the need of the former?

Look I don’t get any food aid from the govt, never have, but if a grocery offered discounts to people who had lost SNAP? Not only would I NOT feel cheated in some way, I’d be more likely to shop there, on the grounds of “at least they have some human decency”
I think that ban is wrong.

7. A line must be drawn. Fenway believes it must preemptively comply because otherwise, the admin could target it. Right now, it’s youth care. But what happens when it’s trans adults? Birth control? Prep/HIV? All of these have been targets of this administration.

4. As Timothy Snyder warned, this is how authoritarianism advances—not through direct orders, but through institutions that “preemptively obey.” Fenway is abandoning their mission. If the line isn’t drawn here, when it’s our lives on the chopping block, who will be left to draw it when it’s theirs?
