Texas is banning Kate Cox from getting an abortion—claiming her fetus has rights.


Simultaneously Texas is fighting a lawsuit by a prison guard who was 7 mo pregnant, had pains, was denied a break, & the fetus was stillborn—arguing a fetus has no rights.


It was Never about life.

Parts of the US are already under authoritarian rule! You are not scared enough yet. You are staring at pieces of a puzzle strewn on a table and not looking at the finished picture on the box… #TheAmericanHaitianPoet #Woke #SocialPoetry

Whatever horrible things you read about Henry Kissinger in the wake of his death, know that he deserves far, far worse said about him. That he was allowed to die at home in peace rather than in a cell at the Hague is an indictment of our global system of international law and justice.

Here's the thing.

When founding Spoutible, Christopher Bouzy made some promises. Most important to me: a place safe from trolls and bigotry.

And he's kept that promise.

Why would people want to go back to platforms run by people who repeatedly violate their trust (AND privacy?)

House Republicans are cutting food assistance and adding culture war amendments to the agriculture appropriations bill | CNN Politics

After clamping down on food stamps in the debt ceiling deal, House Republicans now want to take a whack at WIC, the food assistance program for low-income women, infants and young children.

Since the war began, the Biden administration and the U.S. Congress have directed more than $75 billion in assistance to Ukraine, but they gonna tell the people who need help to make ends meet right here that they don't have 7 billion to cover WIC when we don't have enough to feed our own FUCK them!

A family was slaughtered for asking their neighbor to stop shooting as their infant was sleeping. Frankly this is what gun fanatics want & have repeated over & over when they reference "2nd amendment solutions" – total impunity & a terrified populace who will never question them, about anything.

I gotta say, this community is something else. Usually after an outage, the hordes descend and review bomb and talk shit. What do we do? We send Bouzy money to pay for redundancy and cheer on the team. I almost don't know how to process this - never seen anything like it
