In New Jersey, advocates are pushing for towns to restrict the conversion of warehouses into ICE detention centers before the federal government even inquires. Last month, the town of Sparta unanimously passed an ordinance blocking detention facilities.

Roxbury is pushing back on plans for a new detention facility, claiming DHS is violating environmental regulations. Other towns nationwide are making similar arguments.

Virginia becomes first Southern state to mandate paid family and medical leave for workers • Virginia Mercury

Virginia’s new law permits workers in companies with 10 or more employees to tap into a program to receive up to 80% of their pay while on leave. Though it will entail some initial state funding to set up, eventually the program would be jointly funded as most employers and employees pay into it over time.

Between the HPV vaccine and now a prospective treatment, it looks like we're close to cervical cancer being a solved problem.

I dunno what it is with this new (post 2K) breed of Pig Empire politician that they don't seem to believe we have memories longer than a year. All these fucking pigs are like "HAHAH how's my ass taste, we have all the power and NOBODY can stop us" when they get elected and are pushing neoliberal austerity policies and police state repression, and then as soon as election time comes around they're like "I'm just a SMOL bean who never did anything and the people are SO MEAN why won't you LOVE ME?"

In history class, I never understood how “advanced” civilizations could collapse. It just didn’t seem plausible.

Anyway, I’ve seen enough. I get it now.

Oh FOR FUCK’S SAKE!

Ivermectin doesn’t do shit for hantavirus. I know. I treated multiple cases in residency. Can we stop with the antihelminthic for viruses shit already?!? It was an OK theory, but it hasn’t panned out, and dumb motherfuckers who just can’t seem to live their lives without pissing away their savings on some grifter’s horseshit need to find a better snake oil. Jesus. Fuck.

If you have organized a heavily armed strike force that can be consistently weaponized by prank calls and never learns a goddam thing, I feel like that's by far the biggest problem. You don't get swatted in Japan!
