I’ve heard menopause hormone therapy fixes everything. Should I take it?
Timely treatment provides relief for menopause symptoms, but expecting it to fix all of them is a set-up for disappointment

Just a reminder that Muslims have been on this continent since the first arrival of non-Indigenous people. They were among the first generation of Americans, and have been here ever since.
"Muslims don't belong in American society," says Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) www.huffpost.com/entry/andy-o...
GOP Congressman Says ‘Muslims Don’t Belong In American Society’
Rep. Andy Ogles of Tennessee also called it “a lie” that diverse groups of people can respectfully engage with each other.

Abolish and prosecute ICE. They did a murder in broad daylight today. Imagine what they're doing in the closed facilities we're somehow not even allowed to see.

AOC: ICE has less accountability than virtually any law enforcement agency in the U.S., yet they are some of the most well-funded, operating with impunity—and we just saw them murder an American citizen in cold blood in the street.

@hcrichardson.bsky.social asks for comments here. While Canadians may have little impact, we can be more than vocal. Our boycott of U.S. products as promoted by @charlieangus104.bsky.social must continue. We must end #trumpism together.

Bass: I just signed an executive directive that puts all city departments and leadership on notice to protect Angelenos—essentially from the federal government.
We’re also filing a FOIA request because we want to know: Who are these masked men, and why are they masked in the first place?

This should be national news, because while we watch in horror at what is happening south of the border, the incursion of our civil liberties is happening right here, right now, under our noses. Mission creep. The right to peacefully protest is a fundamental part of our democracy. 9/n

THE WOMEN OF ONTARIO SAY NO
Right now in Ontario, there is no process for removing councillors from office, even when egregious acts are committed and substantiated. That needs to change and we need your help.

Wow! France gifted her to us, and now they’ve captured what so many Americans are feeling on Independence Day. The values the Statue of Liberty stood for are no more.

Everything was fine until Trump decided to unleash violent raids w/o grounds in elementary schools, shopping areas, & peaceful public spaces.
ICE then illegally blocked Members of Congress entry into the facilities they are disappearing people into, escalating the situation.
Let’s start there.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving.
There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later.

Since cis het men who are natural born US citizens commit the most crimes, I think they should have markers on their IDs, restricted state to state travel, higher insurance and tax rates, separate restrooms, and state sanctioned vasectomies at 14 because they cause 100% of unwanted pregnancies.

I'm not sure if its ignorance about civics or a blatantly Trumpian attempt to undermine the democratic system of checks and balances and erode judicial independence to consolidate power - but Ford's comments about judges is horrifying. If you aren't scared: you aren't paying attention.
