This week is Black Maternal Health Week — and Black women are still being ignored, dismissed, and disrespected, especially during pregnancy and childbirth.
Over 80% of these deaths didn’t have to happen. This is your reminder to listen to Black women.

Look at all that DEI sending astronauts around the moon.
Can I interest anyone in a delicious 25th Amendment? Pairs well with dementia.

Alice Augusta Ball found the cure for leprosy at 23.
She died in a mysterious lab accident at 24.
Arthur Dean stole her research, stole it and renamed it from "The Ball Method" to "The Dean Method."
It took 90 years before her original research papers were found and she got the credit due to her.

"Boy! I say, Boy! I'll tell you your opinion on Eye-ran when I want you to have one!"
Hegseth: "Iran should be an energy-rich country. Instead, like so many other places driven by a radical ideology, they've spend that money, instead of investing in their people. That's why you had millions of Iranians protesting."
It was a strange time to be a CM. Coming back to an empty park felt like entering a different timeline.

I need every single male artist that follows me to read this. It's not very long. You need to bear witness to this shit. You have to see it with your own eyes because you never will in your everyday life.
I'm serious, read it all please
The only play on Trump holding up all bills until his SAVE act passes is to call his bluff, let everything stop. The longer the delay, the more scrutiny SAVE will get, which we need desperately; it's the worst of the worst attempts at breaking elections he's ever attempted.
Always spot on, Snyder went to the next level with this short essay. open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...
This morning's Pentagon briefing is peak war and weapon porn, written for Fox News and right-wing networks to repeat on blast all day. Gas prices spiking? Trumpstein Files? ICE? Look at the shiny keys!
So, we just taught the Middle East nations that they have the capability to shoot down our best war jets, three at a time at least. Kuwait did it accidentally. All those militaries are wondering today what they could do intentionally. And we are less safe today because of this wag the dog war.
I'm an independent, but your point about the Democratic party is valid, and I share your frustration with it. With Mamdani and AOC and anti-AIPAC sentiment rising, hopefully the Dems can clean house soon. But I think they are not yet beyond steering their party. The GOP abandoned their compass.
That's not true! They stand where they are told to stand.
Democrats are poised to sweep into power in Congress and thrash him with impeachment for the rest of his term.
There has never been a US President who had a bigger motivation to distract his own people with war. The tail is wagging the dog.
He's just been named the worst president, unanimously, by a large group of historians. His core programs are obvious failures: ICE, tariffs, Doge. Defections from his own party and voters are growing. Democrats are poised to sweep into power in Congress and thrash him with impeachment for the rest
Welcome to bizzaro world. Our President has his own social media. He declares war on Iran in a video post on it. He's wearing a baseball cap. It's partially obscuring his orange face makeup and ridiculous hair. Not coincidentally, he's being credibly accused of child sexual abuse.

What it's like to be governed by ghouls. Never wanted to know this.
He stops running right now, he'll win first place.
We have no kings? If that's so, why can't our system hold our leaders accountable, like the British government does their royals?
Cool. Not one thing is excellent about the current office holder, and he'd never let diplomatic respect get past his own ego and land on the office itself. This one office holder deserves the disrespect he daily earns.
No, don't uh... Don't. Don't do that.
