I'm watching the #PuppyBowl on HBO Max and the stream went down and #nowigetit. I finally feel the pain of a football fan when game goes down!
So #fetalcontainers. Yet we were told it was all #hysteria that uteruses could be subjected by law. That it was hyperbole to think restricting a uterus-owner's right to determine whether they must continue a #pregnancy was a #slipperyslope, that it could lead to further #humanrights offenses against them and others — and now we are being reduced to "fetal containers". Glad it had nothing to do with #controllingwomen

Trump wants to terminate the Constitution, but I say he should be forced to carry it to term.
Northwestern University history professor Peter Hayes, who specializes in Nazi Germany and the Holocaust, said normalizing antisemitism is a “real possibility” when there is a “public discussion of things that used to be beneath contempt.”
“I’m very concerned about it,” Hayes said. “It’s one of the many ways in which America has to get a grip and stop toying with concepts and ideas that are potentially murderous.”

Antisemitic celebrities stoke fears of normalizing hate

A surge of anti-Jewish vitriol, spread by a world-famous rapper, an NBA star and other prominent people, is stoking fears that public figures are normalizing hate and ramping up the risk of violence in a country already experiencing a sharp increase in antisemitism.

Life pro tip for abled folk: look out for disabled people. Remember that you are only ever *temporarily* abled. Sooner or later, one way or the other, everyone joins our ranks. Even if you are not moved to support disabled folk for other reasons, it is in your own best interests to fight with us to erase stigma, to improve accessibility, to create equal opportunities. Listen to disabled people; let our voices be heard. We are the pioneers living your future.

If you’re one of the tens of millions of hardworking people wondering why your $10K or $20K student loan forgiveness is on hold, here’s why.

A GOP plaintiff—who himself had $48K in PPP loans forgiven—is suing because he only got only $10K—not $20K—in student loan forgiveness.🤦🏽‍♂️ So he’s suing to burn it all down. The GOP hypocrisy and war on working people is truly a thing to behold.

And this is why we can’t have nice things. Smh.
