Any woman or person of color now serving the US Military must leave now! You are no longer safe and this country doesn't care. Get out now! Save yourself!!

Lilith Fair: Building a Mystery | Documentary Trailer | Now streaming YouTube video by CBC Docs

As a woman of a certain age, #lilithfair was everything. #fuckabc but watching this doc on Hulu should be mandatory. The vision, talent, love, power, strength, community, acceptance, charity -- there's never been anything like it. Sarah McLachlan-no words.

Polio is not some cutesy little disease, it is horrifying and if your child survives they are extremely likely to have a lifelong disability making their life much harder and more expensive.

Only a ghoul would consider getting rid of the polio vaccine. #fireRFKjr

The U.S. said it would burn $9.7 million of birth control. Its fate is still unclear Questions about their fate swirled after the government's July deadline for destruction came and went. Then came a false report they'd been incinerated. Aid groups say it's not too late to save them.

For months, $9.7 million worth of birth control meant for women in low-income countries has sat stranded in a Belgian warehouse — apparently destined for destruction — as a result of the Trump administration's freeze on foreign aid.

Really beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

MSNBC fired Matthew Dowd and yet Fox News is just going to let this guy stay.

Charlie Kirk: “It’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment”

RIP Charlie Kirk. May all who mourn find solace in knowing that he believed gun deaths were “worth it,” “prudent,” and “rational.”

The murder of Charlie Kirk was criminal, wrong, and should be condemned.

And Charlie Kirk was a horrible, hateful man who spent his life radicalizing young people to embrace their worst demons by targeting women, people of color, immigrants, and the marginalized.

I refuse to sanitize him.

“We should not have to live in a country where the government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a lot wage job. Rather than stand idly by while out constitutional freedoms are lost, i dissent.” —Justice Sonia Sotomayor

My God. Chills.

Exclusive: US Air Force denies early retirement for group of transgender service members The U.S. Air Force is denying early retirement to all transgender service members with between 15 and 18 years of military service, opting instead to force them out with no retirement benefits, according to a memo seen by Reuters.

Air Force service members with 15-18 years of service can be eligible for early retirement. The Trump admin just blocked early retirement for all trans folks in the Air Force leaving them without the lifelong pensions or healthcare they're owed for their service.
