It’s really pretty cool that one thing you can do to support people you like is ask your local library to get their book because it doesn’t cost you anything, it helps them, and the librarian gets to know someone actually wants to read a book and not just use the computer for Roblox

She said she had a miscarriage — then got arrested under an abortion law The 1911 Nevada statute is one of a wide variety of laws that have been used in rare cases across the country to prosecute women for trying to end a pregnancy.

One week until Election Day! If you’re wondering what is at stake, here’s a story about a Nevada woman who was found guilty of manslaughter and sent to jail for having a miscarriage. www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

Harris to hold a rally in Texas on Friday focusing on abortion rights Visiting a politically unfriendly state can be a way to make a splash and send a message about taking on a fight.

Vice President Kamala Harris will hold a rally Friday in Texas, a state she does not believe she will win but one where her campaign plans for her to begin making a closing argument to voters centered on abortion rights.

When Harris went on Call Her Daddy, Trump responded by trashing the host … who then doubled down with an episode highlighting GOP abortion restrictions.

Rogan has recently said he’d never have Trump on, so there’s a good chance Trump attacks him too, with similar blowback.

I think Harris is going on Fox and Rogan because she is modeling what good leadership in a democracy should look like, where you are unafraid to speak to audiences of voters who might be unreceptive because that's your job, to be the President for the whole country. The contrast w/ Trump is glaring.

I know everyone is angry about the depiction of Jewish women but I love them all. My main issue with that is that Esther did her daughter dirty re: the bat-mitzvah and that seems wildly out of character.

Him: A tv one.
Me: BUT WHY ARE THEY MAKING KIDDUSH AT THE END OF THE MEAL NOT ON SHABBAT AT A BAT-MITZVAH?
Him: They are doing Jewish things. All the "Jewish' things. They are going to blow shofar next.

WASHINGTON - Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on Wednesday issued the following statement after Vice President Kamala Harris unveiled a proposal to provide federal funding to cover home care costs for older Americans, as well as an expansion of Medicare to include hearing and vision coverage:
Congratulations to Vice President Harris for announcing a bold vision to expand Medicare to cover not only home health care, but also vision and hearing.
It is no secret that we have a major crisis in home health care. Millions of seniors would prefer, when possible, to receive care in their homes rather than be forced into nursing homes. Kamala's plan is a major step forward not only in improving the quality of life for seniors and their families, but also in saving the health care system large sums of money.
Further, her plan to expand Medicare to cover the cost of vision and hearing is enormously important. In the wealthiest country on earth, millions of lower-income seniors today are unable to affo

We had to go to a notary this morning. I LOVE having an excuse to visit the upper floors of nondescript office buildings — to visit the residual landscapes of stamps, seals, signatures, and indexical, analog administration 🥰
