I was a teenager in the late 80s and early 90s and for some reason was wary of men.

Seems I had a reason.

RFK Jr. doesn’t want anyone criticizing or questioning him.

Obviously the answer to feminism’s failures, whatever they may be, is to yoke yourself to hearth and home.

(This is sarcasm.)

The same voices opposing abortion are ALSO targeting birth control access. But we are NOT backing down. Use #ThxBirthControl Day to share your stories and remind everyone why access is so essential 🙌

The first and last lines of Joni Ernst’s legacy as a human on earth will be that she was instrumental in the confirmation of the Sec of Defense most hostile to women serving in military, and she knew that when she voted for him.

Yes! This! I lived for many years in Holland. What Mamdani says he supports is not at all shocking to me. His policy positions are par for the course in Europe.

You’d think Pirro/Bondi/Trump would be in favor of a ruined sandwich, because no child could now eat it.

Measles outbreak investigation in Utah blocked by patient who refuses to talk The person refused to even tell health officials their address.

In case anyone needs a reminder of how successful the Republican attack on public health has been:

A person who is the first probable measles case near Salt Lake City refuses to speak to the health department, so anyone they came into contact with can’t be warned.

This is especially insidious…

Hi, I’m God.

Jesus and I agree that starving the poor so you can build yourself golden bathrooms and golden ballrooms is evil. Anyone who does that shall burn for eternity. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Thanks,

God

Ex-Teen Vogue editor Elaine Welteroth: ‘The headlines implied I was a token black hire’ Welteroth was just 29 when Anna Wintour made her editor-in-chief. Months later, the magazine shut down. What did she do next?

Elaine Welteroth, former editor-in-chief of Teen Vogue and youngest editor of Condé Nast ever, and the 2nd African American to hold this position, changed Teen Vogue to be more politically conscious.

This is so bad. Teen Vogue had some of the last quality political coverage in the mainstream media.

Can't overstate how fucked up it is that unraveling what is arguably the greatest achievement in the history of humanity is now a motivating issue of one of the two dominant parties in the U.S.
