Maritimer. Fight for/with/join unions! All boats if everyone has one. All eyes on genocide, fascism, the erasure of black & queer history and trans and disabled peoples' rights. If Jesus would block you, I will too. Oh and COVID AIN'T OVER! FFS, mask up!

If your political party is making the argument that a guy with a gun is not allowed to defend a woman from a mob of masked men or else he's a "terrorist", I regret to inform you that you're the Baddies.

A president who combines hostility with intellectual emptiness isn’t just controversial...he’s structurally dangerous. It’s hard to tell which is more alarming: the policies or the lack of comprehension behind them.

Risk of maternal death during pregnancy greatly underestimated, study finds A new study comparing deaths of pregnant people and of those who have an abortion show that risk of death due to pregnancy is three times higher than previously estimated.

"Our new analysis shows that it is far more dangerous to be pregnant than to have an abortion, and this gap in mortality risk is even larger than previously recognized.” - lead study author Maria Steenland.
In fact, the mortality risk of pregnancy is 44 to 70 times higher than from abortion.

Imagine watching the president declare an entire African community unworthy of the American dream, while readily granting asylum to only white South Africans, and still believing this is about solving our immigration issues.

This isn't about "training issues." The murderer who executed Renee Good has been with ICE for 10 years, and according to DHS, the murderer who executed Alex Pretti has been there for 8 years.

These aren't "new recruits," or officers that can be "retrained." ICE can't be reformed. Abolish ICE.

β€œDay is done, Gone the sun,
From the Lakes, from the hills, from the sky.
All is well, safely rest, God is nigh.

Fading light, Dims the sight, 
And a star, gems the sky, gleaming bright
From afar, Drawing nigh, Falls the night. 

Thanks and praise, For our days, 
Neath the sun, Neath the stars, Neath the sky
As we go, This we know, God is nigh.”

This can’t be repeated enough. Not only won’t they investigate, they may never even tell us who did this.
