I am also a Mirena girly but in times past sent my husband out for all kinds of feminine products (and also post partum stuff?)

The government is tyrant-maxing. It’s giving despot

Good evening, I’m out here in Los Angeles near MacArthur Park, where protestors have taken to the streets to protest the recent raids across the city, despite a TRO prohibiting them

About a year ago I was at a conference at which a speaker confidently said the US government would never exercise its Bayh-Dole Act march-in rights because it would destroy all licensees’ and investors’ confidence in licensing federal-funded research-based patents

Protestors walk together carrying a black flag with a butterfly on it and the words “Los Angeles ICE Breakers”

Dozens of protesters on foot and in a car caravan have slowed traffic to a crawl behind them. They are calling out to spectators and passersby to join them as they make their way into downtown

From “Support Black women” to crickets | Shay Stewart-Bouley For the better part of a decade, it was common to see hashtags and think-pieces admonishing people to support Black women and to trust Black women, but in the last few years, as the post George Floyd ...

Science is effectively dead in the US for at least the next 3½ years, and will then take another several years to even get started again. Canceled research doesn’t just uncancel itself, and scientists who find opportunity elsewhere won’t just come flocking back.

This is part of what I find tiresome. People ARE in the streets DAILY and it's not just in L.A. And at this point, folks should just assume that this is true and what's needed is for you to plug in too if protest is important to you.

KPop demon hunters and pink pony club playing at the ice cream shop. Is it radio or someone streaming ?

Dystopian cyberpunk update: the TikTok algorithm is actively suppressing news about massive protests in LA so people are getting around it by tagging it as a 24 Hour Music Festival and then you search that hash tag so you see ppl in riot gear facing down tear gas talking bout the festival is lit

When a powerful figure tells a company that they need to pay him $1 billion to keep doing business, that is not a settlement, it is extortion

A government-sanctioned "truth arbiter" will soon arrive at CBS. Their role will be to ensure that journalists do not criticize this Administration or express views that conflict with its agenda.

This is a betrayal—not just of journalistic independence, but of the public trust. 🧵

This is an actually despicable choice by the Pod bros

this is heartbreaking and unacceptable. for Chicago and Illinois to be a true haven for trans people, our public agencies need to be safe and welcoming places for trans employees to work and for trans customers to make use of services.

Here are two Trump-appointed federal judges -- both of whom were troubling judicial nominees to start with -- ruling that it was fine that Trump ignored another court's order.

Among other things, Katsas and Rao's opinions foreshadow how these two will run interference for Trump if Democrats take the House in 2026 and try to investigate the executive branch. They start from the premise that Trump is a king and work backward from there.

The Blue-State Hospitals Carrying Out Trump’s Anti-Trans Agenda In states where gender-affirming care remains legal, some hospitals have nonetheless stopped providing it. What gives?
