One of the really sad things to me over the last decade has been to watch my kids become old enough to vote and almost immediately become so disenchanted and disappointed by all politics that they don't even want to anymore.

I don't want a taco truck on every corner.
I want a falafel truck, a curry truck, an empanada truck, an ethiopian truck, and a fish-n-chips truck on some of the corners, too!

So, what exactly is the plan to protect pts who have had abortions from future prosecutors when everyone's EHR is integrated with AI and open to either subpoena or hacking?

Highly recommend Caucasian Chalk Circle at LiveArts! Loved the songs and music woven into the show.
But fair warning - it is a long running time.

I see CPD has NBC29 doing their PR for them. Look, I'm glad these two are enjoying themselves giving fist bumps and 'getting to know' the kids but you don't need COPS for that. You just don't.

The blood of Pierre Damas Bel is on this man's hands so idgaf what anybody says about him or his wife.
JD Vance can rage at Abdul El-Sayed for invoking Usha all he wants, but AES's larger point is 100% correct: JD really has made craven compromises with vicious MAGA racists. For JD to submerge all that to his personal ambition really is disgraceful.

What JD Vance’s Eruption of Rage over Usha and El-Sayed Really Reveals
Vance is posing as a chivalrous defender of his wife. What he’s hiding is the craven compromises he’s made with the racist and white nationalist elements within the MAGA coalition.

There exists online a community of websites and users who encourage, pay and teach each other in how to drug and sexually abuse women. Robert explores the case of one particular website, Coco, in France, along with in one specific offender, Dominique Pelicot.

TERFism is so gd stupid and self-defeating.
Missouri's Amendment 3 would restore an abortion ban with limited exceptions, but its advertising is focused on a different provision: banning gender transition care for minors.
The campaign never explicitly states it would repeal the constitutional right to abortion voters approved 2 years ago.

Missouri Republicans Are Trying to Repeal Abortion Rights by Leaning Into Anti-Trans Sentiment
Two years after falsely linking reproductive rights to gender transition care for minors, GOP lawmakers have packaged the two issues into one amendment in an effort to strip away the right to abortion...

Had a blast at Selvedge playing Trivia with Olivia with the fam. It's paper and pen, no phones. That's what my son wanted to do before he heads back to school and it was great fun.

Video of an ICE agent pulling a gun on a wife and mother, who is a US citizen born and raised in the area, near Bailey's Crossroads in Northern Virginia yesterday.
Chillingly, they claimed she “almost ran them over” until she told them she had video proving that was a lie.

Spillman resigning is a direct result of posting on social media rather than using the power of the office she held to enact the changes she wanted to see. It is a lesson I hope all good elected people learn and quickly.

I see my esteemed employer is bringing yet another SC justice to grounds and I just want to scream this fact over and over again to their stupid faces. Try to restrain yourself from giving them a fucking medal this time.
Something telling:
Blanche said the DOJ is working so the "Dobbs decision becomes permanent in every single state"—making clear they never saw Dobbs as giving abortion 'back to the states', but a tool to ban abortion nationwide

You know, as a person who works in Admin at UVA I can tell you right now that tech - AI or not - does absolutely nothing but shift work from the top to the bottom. It does not improve effeciency, it just moves more labor onto people like me so VPs and CTOs can justify their jobs.
