My classmate was raped on her way back home from university and got pregnant, but couldn’t get an abortion due to the laws. She had to drop out of university where she was studying medicine. Because of pregnancy and childbirth expenses, she couldn’t continue her studies, left college, started working at a coffee shop, lost the fun of her early twenties, and lost the chance to attend international medical conferences she once dreamt of… all just to give birth to a child she never wanted.
People say, “What if the baby you abort grows up and cures cancer?”
Okay — but what if the 19-year-old you deny an abortion to grows up and cures cancer?
Now she can’t afford to get an education. Instead, she has to take care of a baby. What about her? An actual living human being???
“Abortion ends potential life”… So do property disputes, war, and genocide. You only seem to care about lives when women don’t give birth to them.
Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl show reminded millions of viewers of something geography never forgot:
America is a continent. The United States is just one country in it.
Starbucks isn't a poor company.
Last year, it made $3.6+ billion in profits & paid its CEO $96 million, while denying workers a living wage and decent benefits.
Let's stand in solidarity with striking Starbucks workers. Don't cross the picket line.
Democrats asked for ONE THING today to reopen the govt: Keep health insurance subsidies where they are at now for one year. That is IT. Nothing else.
Republicans said no.
So all the lies they tell every day about things Dems are asking for is BS.
Republicans OWN this shutdown.
Rachel Maddow sounds the alarm on Donald Trump’s latest move to track the phones of all Americans: “This turns your own phone into a spy against you. This is a surviellance capability I have been laying awake at night thinking about for the past couple of years”
“I’m not well-informed, but I am informed…. a little bit”
- Every illiterate, mindless, useless delusional Trump supporter to ever exist (*all of them*)
Republicans can’t win on their policies, so they are trying to dodge accountability by rewriting the rules. These lawmakers are going out of their way to silence the will of the people and deliberately undermine our democracy.
Two months ago a Democratic lawmaker, her husband and their dog was murdered in their home and there was no moment of prayer in Congress, no lowering of flags, a Republican senator openly mocked their death and other Republicans just ignored it.....
This is a good time to remind ourselves of the two Democratic Minnesota lawmakers who were shot just a few months ago.
And Trump didn't lower the flags for them or any school shooting.
