They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.

Consul actually

Now I want to know who owns the middle man agency. Because that's going to be a wealthy fool. And there are so many options. But the fool running this must not value their own freedom

😩😩😩

Perfect creature

This has been a really fun thread but basically every lawyer uses Office365, it's a huge portion of Microsoft's income, and so any linux future meaningfully has to offer alternatives to these specific rentier empires and not just gaming. Gaming is a good start, but LibreOffice does not cut it.

Congrats, Rand Paul, you’ve invented health insurance companies.

With ICE and border patrol goons spreading out across the country, I put together a resource guide for buying, printing, and distributing whistles, based on my own experience. Now is the time to whistle up, hope this helps. dansinker.com/posts/202…

For decades, scholars have argued education’s hidden curriculum is about disciplining and socializing children as future workers, and they just….tweeted it out

i often get asked why it's so difficult to figure out how to cover local judges, or how to approach voting for them.

this Chicago publication has a great project of crowd-sourcing information for the next few months.

Allowing CPD to spend unlimited sums of taxpayer money is a “crazy way to run a city,” said Justin Marlowe, a professor in the University of Chicago Harris School of Public Policy, and the director of the Center for Municipal Finance.

the future of the democratic party is a coalition of the wokest people on tumblr and absolutely dead-eyed pursuers of the national interest and the maximization of GDP

I don’t know how @theonion.com stays in business, when it has to try to out-satirize this sort of reality.

Anyway, pretty sure making someone watch this would violate multiple international treaties and the beliefs of most if not all major and minor religions.

WLS in Chicago is running ICE ads. The FM station. Boycott accordingly.

Early planning documents reviewed by WIRED describe a statewide transport grid designed for steady detainee transfers across Texas, with ICE estimating each trip to average 100 miles. Every county would have its own small, around-the-clock team of contractors collecting immigrants from local authorities deputized by ICE.
