The ruling says Attorney General Austin Knudsen erred in finding the proposal for the 2024 ballot “legally insufficient.”

If you want a glimpse of the "pro-life" white Christian dystopia Republicans collaborating with white Christian nationalists are preparing for all of us, look at Kentucky: as Paige Oamek and Rohan Montgomery report,

"The state is making it easier to kill homeless people on private property—and that’s just one part of one of the most draconian crime bills in recent history."

Kentucky Is About to Pass the Cruelest Criminal-Justice Bill in America

The state is making it easier to kill homeless people on private property—and that’s just one part of one of the most draconian crime bills in recent history.

Sin justificar nada, la situación de tener familiares dependientes con demencia o Alzheimer no es tan sencilla como "tener humanidad".

Como dicen en el comentario de Menéame, un familiar con demencia te puede arruinar la vida para siempre.

No se puede, como suele hacer el sector sanitario, delegar sin más en las familias. Los familiares no tienen ni la capacidad, ni la formación, ni los medios. Eso no significa que no se responsabilicen, es que no se puede.

I am Cosmic. You are welcome to refer to me as "owl." I'm a 30 y.o. disabled writer who disdains fascism and loves love. I'm on the schizophrenic spectrum and genderfluid. I have a firm hatred of White Jesus and his pet bald eagle.

I like to believe the hatred of this universe is set up as a computer player for lovers to conquer. I think mankind's done a terrible job at fighting back, but we can form a more palpable resistance by eschewing apathy and dismantling the bourgeoisie.

"On one occasion, a handful of children, all about ages 5 to 8, were carried to the emergency room by their parents. All had single sniper shots to the head. These families were returning to their homes in Khan Yunis, about 2.5 miles away from the hospital, after Israeli tanks had withdrawn. But the snipers apparently stayed behind. None of these children survived." #Democracy https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2024-02-16/rafah-gaza-hospitals-surgery-israel-bombing-ground-offensive-children?utm_source=werd.io&utm_campaign=mastodon&utm_channel=mastodon
Opinion: I'm an American doctor who went to Gaza. I saw annihilation, not war

As a surgeon, I volunteered at a Gaza hospital. The conditions were unthinkable. With a ground offensive in Rafah, people have nowhere to go.

I couldn’t afford the Apple Vision Pro, so I got the Apple Vision Junior instead.

To be nobody but yourself—in a world which is, doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else— means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight, and never stop fighting.

"Indifference to evil is more insidious than evil itself. It is a silent justification affording evil acceptability in society."

Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel

"When a man goes away, having heard something which might have changed his mind, and does not pay attention, I do not call him back. I am on the side of nature.

The old Chinese Book of Wisdom says: "The Master says it once."

He does not run after people, it is no good. Those who are meant to hear will understand, and those who are not meant to understand will not hear."
