the US is "a glaring exception among wealthy countries" on nearly every metric, because we're the only wealthy country that lets the wealthy decide how to run the country. we're the only wealthy country that has decided the not-wealthy are fodder for the meat grinder of unfettered capitalism, that has been systematically destroying the social safety net & the entire social contract so that billionaires can fill another wine cellar with $100,000 bottles of wine.
1) this is insane. IVF necessarily creates dozens of frozen embryos that are eventually destroyed when there is no more need to implant them. this will shut down the entire process of IVF.
2) can't wait for someone to use this ruling to file for child support/child tax credits as soon as they get a positive test, only to be told "no we didn't mean it like that, this only applies to penal opportunities not financial benefits" 🙃
he DID play Ken as an idiot. you think "I have all the genitals" and "I thought the patriarchy was about horses" wasn't an idiot? you were more moved by the only man not in total control of his universe complaining about that lack of control than by the story of womanhood told by the female leads? you're dunking on yourself even harder than gosling was.
religion snatching petty bigotry from the jaws of compassion as always. "what? we did a decent and respectable thing based on someone's actual identity? nuh-uh! if we had known who she used to be we would have been belligerent assholes about it!"
also point me to the fucking bible verse that condemns being trans. I'll wait.
notice how WaPo not only doesn't shy away from language about the costs of Israel's tactics, but the fact that NYT *didn't even mention this at all.* not a blip.
WaPo also mentioned Navalny's death, while NYT's main feature was about how great Russia's doing despite sanctions to try and stop the war. 🤨
McCarthy wasn't wrong. just because most Americans listen to racist dog whistles doesn't mean they're not racist dog whistles or that you have to campaign on them. nobody's telling voters to ignore social issues, we're telling the ones who are opposed to them that they're wrong. they're wrong to tell women what we can do with our bodies, what trans people can do with theirs, they're wrong to be anti-immigrant and pro-Russia. I'm not going to court bigots by telling them what they want to hear.
yeah but ONLY ONE SIDE OF THOSE ISSUES IS CORRECT, and conservatives vote on the wrong side of ALL of them. climate change is real. abortion is healthcare. guns are bad, education is good, immigration is what built this country, and Russia is the enemy. if conservatives are voting against their economic interests, they're also voting against reason on all those other issues.
fuck twitter, fuck mastodon, fuck post.news and FUCK threads
