My father still suffers from a weak heart muscle and valve regurgitation. The doctors say he needs surgery, so I need $120 to buy the necessary medication. Please help me purchase the medicine. I hope you will support me.🤲🙏🤲

I went to the bank today & the teller was wearing some like three inch long gold outline-of-a-cross earrings, it was wild as hell - like she looked ready for a Christian disco or something, they were all sparkly & musta been light because they danced around as she moved
I guess necklaces are passé
You know who else famously used paid informants to infiltrate extremist groups?
The Justice Department.
RFK Jr. just said HHS is "cleaning up the risk pool" (i.e., people who are unhealthy) to bring down healthcare costs.
This means killing people like me. If you’re wondering.
SCOOP: Trump has told confidants that Ron DeSantis is "begging" for a job in the administration.
DeSantis has angled to be attorney general, secretary of defense or even a Supreme Court justice.

There have been no donations for Heba's children for a week. You can help them survive Israel's genocide, right now, by sharing and donating. They're starving, sick, & homeless under siege. Heba is desperate to feed them, & prices keep going up with scarcity:

Every day food and water become scarcer in the ruins of Gaza, and Sama'a and her daughters see horrors the rest of us can only imagine on a daily basis. Please give what you can.

I am from Gaza, where survival is a daily struggle 💔 My children go to bed hungry, and I cannot provide basic needs. Fear surrounds us every moment. Please help us with any donation 🙏 Your support, even small, can save my family and give us hope again.

I thought this point Eric made about how libraries are early introductions to a social contract was really interesting, too:
The Southern Poverty Law Center, which is best known for its tracking of hate groups, said that the Justice Department has launched a criminal investigation into the nonprofit regarding their use of informants.
It might not be BorrowBox at your library authority; mine uses Pressreader for newspapers/mags, Libby for audio, magazines, and e-books, and BorrowBox as well as uLibrary for extra audio catalogues. But yes, the same principle applies--all free! 🤗

Peabody Award.
A black and white drawing of a girl on the left dribbling a basketball. On the upper right is a basketball hoop. On the right side of the image it says "Girls' Basketball Popularity" and underneath is a graph of sorts that reads from left to right "60s, early 70s, today" and there's a bouncing basketball going along the graph. It's high above "60s," very low over "Early 70s," and then in the middle over "today."
Incredible scientific graph from 1977
ELIZABETH WARREN: Did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election?
KEVIN WARSH: Uhm, we try to keep politics if I'm confirmed out of the Federal Reserve
WARREN: I'm just asking a factual question
WARSH: I believe this body certified the election
WARREN: That's not the question I'm asking
"Part of the reason the weaponization work has been difficult is that you need people who are MAGA and who are really competent," said Chad Mizelle, former chief of staff for Bondi. "Many career prosecutors are not interested in this kind of work. It's a very small group of people."

What do they think this is gonna do to all the MAGA movement women that get the Mar a Lago treatment. Including/especially the GOP women politicians.
Williams says that the bill wouldn't apply to "appropriate drag," and said that it's written in a way that obscenity could be determined by individual law enforcement.
Conservatives *want* the vagary inherent in the law because it makes them, and their police, the arbiter of morality. They don't like the idea of justice being blind.
"Of course we won't go after Shakespeare!" they say honestly, and they're correct.
They'll decide what drag is "appropriate."
The peak of fear mongering. The author claims Ohio HB 249 will jail women for going braless in a T-shirt. HB 249 is about shielding kids from adult performances & imagery —not policing whether women wear bras, bikinis, or T-shirts. Twisting it into "women could be jailed for going braless" isn't just wrong —it's a deliberate misrepresentation. It's common sense to shield kids' innocence from adult performances & imaginary. Nothing but perversion - twisting a bill that aims to protect the innocence of children into something it's not. Do better.
Here's the thing:
If legislators didn't intend for HB 249 to be used against women wearing leggings and low-rise jeans, if they didn't mean for it to be used against trans people existing... THEY COULD FIX THE LANGUAGE.
They drafted it that way for a reason. It's naive to think they won't use it.
Of course, the article also doesn't mention that this was done in service of banning trans people from public spaces.
Instead, they let the legislator run wild saying this about "men" in women's locker rooms and "protecting children's innocence."
This is how gender fascism advances.
(10)(12) "Nudity," "nude," or "state of nudity" means the showing of the human male or female genitals, pubic area, vulva, anus, anal cleft, or cleavage with less than a fully opaque covering; or the showing of the female breasts with less than a fully opaque covering of any part of the nipple.
(12)(14) "Seminude" or "state of seminudity" means a state of dress in which opaque clothing covers not more than the genitals, pubic region, and nipple of the female breast, as well as portions of the body covered by supporting straps or devices.
In addition to the made-up category of "seminudity," HB 249 also expands the definition of "nudity" to include "cleavage" and uncovered "anal cleft"
I dunno. Maybe the journalist could have quoted the bill rather than bothsidesing it.
search-prod.lis.state.oh.us/api/v2/gener...
Media needs to stop with "critics say" and just quote the actual language of the bill.
HB 249 creates a new category of "seminudity" which can be used to arrest women who aren't nude, but are wearing clothing — leggings, t-shirts without bras — that religious groups feel is too provocative.

Kevin Warsh just lost me. He argues he's going to be an independent Fed Chair, but refuses to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. If you can't state simple facts when you're in the political spotlight, you aren't independent. You're a coward.
