In the lower corner, "rapper" Kid Rock flips off the camera while holding a drink and smoking a cigar. On a US flag background text says ENJOY THE ALL-AMERICAN FAMILY-FRIENDLY HALFTIME SHOW... BROUGHT TO YOU BY TPUSA AND THE GRAND OLD PEDO PROTECTOR PARTY. In a speech bubble, lyrics from Kid Rock's song extolling how much he likes underage girls. "Young ladies, young ladies, I like 'em underage, see. Some say that's statutory, But I say it's mandatory." Aren't we all so glad that TPUSA is providing this FAMILY-FRIENDLY ALL-AMERICAN ALTERNATIVE TO (checks notes) SPANISH.

Judge: GOPAZ’s abortion restrictions are permanently banned because they violate the constitutional right to abortion that voters overwhelmingly passed.

Healthcare choices and access cannot be based on lawmakers’ religious beliefs.

Everyone in the White House involved in any way with that vile, sickening racist Trump post must be fired immediately: everyone in the communications department, everyone in the press office, every deputy chief of staff, everyone involved up and down the line. Not one more tax dollar for this filth.

The FDA Quietly Slapped More Restrictions on the Birth Control Implant The agency recently approved Nexplanon for up to five years of useβ€”but it also imposed extra regulations that leave some providers worried.

The FDA recently approved the birth control implant Nexplanon for use up to five years, instead of three. But to providers' surprise, it also placed the device under a special monitoring protocol called REMS, which is infamous for the way it has limited access to medication abortion.

"A Clear Attack On The Queer Community Under Pretext" Republicans in a House Committee said a drag ban was to protect children. Democrats called them on their bluff.

Housing shortages. Unemployment. Lack of healthcare. Drought & climate change.

With all the issues facing #Arizona, the AZGOP is focusing on (checks notes) banning drag shows, telling kids and teachers which pronouns they can use, policing school bathrooms.

Our state capitol is a hateful 🀑show.

assuming it has to stay this way is the doomerism

and like @prisonculture.bsky.social says: hope is a discipline

I actually care way less about whether you're physically working out (although it can help wrangle the brain spiders)

but we all need to do daily reps of "it can't stay like this"
