Justice for Izabela! A Polish court has sentenced three doctors to prison over the 2021 death of Izabela from sepsis during a 22-week miscarriage, after doctors refused to help. "This was a case involving extraordinary negligence, a pure disregard for the most basic and fundamental medical duties."

Once again, a single cartoon tells more truth that the entire US Congress.

Thanks to Rick McKee for making our current situation easy to understand.

Let me translate this: β€œA shit ton of your loved ones maybe sacrificed to keep the nation’s attention off the Epstein files. That is a sacrifice I’m totally willing to make.”

Bright green aurora borealis forms a large sweeping ribbon or arc across a dark night sky over a boreal forest in Fairbanks, Alaska. The lower edge of the aurora shows a faint pink fringe. Snow-covered black spruce trees fill the foreground, their branches heavily laden with snow. The aurora dominates the upper two-thirds of the frame, with the ribbon curving from left to right across the sky.

The aurora dominates the upper two-thirds of the frame, with the ribbon curving from left to right across the sky.

The green is atomic oxygen fluorescing at altitudes of roughly 95–200km. The pink appears when the aurora descends below about 95km, exciting molecular nitrogen, a mix of red and blue emission that together read as pink.

Netflix Backs Out of Bid for Warner Bros., Paving Way for an Ellison Takeover

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?

Austin area folks: Austin Animal Services is over capacity & needs help with foster & adopt. Additionally there is a Central Texas wide name your adoption fee event coming up, March 6-8. Please consider fostering if you can't adopt. Homes without children & pets are unicorn homes for some dogs.

Resilience, ridicule guarantee hate group’s flop at D.C. anti-abortion march When 120 white nationalist Patriot Front members descended on Washington, D.C., they were met by counterdemonstrators and clown music.

NEW, from me: I talked to people who shut down Patriot Front's rally in D.C. last month.

Counter-demonstrators made it impossible for PF to produce propaganda and recruit at the March for Life rally. The clown music set the tone.

He can stay, he can go. He can be impeached or voted out.  but removing Trump will not remove the infrastructure of an entire party that embraced him; the dark money that funded him, the online radicalization that drummed his army nor the racism he amplified and reanimated.  AOC

Many Dems are also complicit. They too have benefitted from the same system. Time for a complete overhaul. Trump is the symptom. Capitalism is the disease.
