NO women DO NOT have a high threshold to pain. This is gender essentialism. This is a toxic myth that makes women believe they should be able to bear more pain and not complain and they don’t. It is such a bizarre paradox where medical professionals believe that women can and should be able to bear pain and so not offered pain relief or sedatives during procedures, but also that women over-react and so when women say 8 on pain scale they assume it is prob around 3 or 4. No-win situation.

A Black family on an AAU basketball trip is terrorized and harassed by Frisco, TX police … all because these geniuses did not know the state abbreviation for Arkansas is AR, not AZ — so the police assumed the car was stolen.

I hope they sue and the officers involved are fired, but none of that will erase the emotional damage and trauma done to this family.

I just want to clarify that this flashing strobe light is being projected onto a rent-controlled apartment with a fair number of elderly residents. You know, just in case you were wondering if it could get worse.

I’d rather ExxonMobil build up tolerance to lower profits.

New paper in the Lancet confirms gender-affirming care is preventative care.

Confirms:
- GAC is linked to improved quality of life
- GAC is an integral determinant of well-being
- GAC increases positive psych outcomes
- GAC must be considered preventative mental healthcare

BREAKING: With more than 700,000 signatures submitted, the Ohio Secretary of State announced that a constitutional amendment to protect reproductive freedom has enough valid signatures to qualify for the ballot this fall.

We have a right to abortion care and we will vote for it.

Believe me when I tell you that anyone who thinks this way about homeless people is quite literally a fascist

This is the real, human cost of mass surveillance of everyone's private digital communications.

If we actually care about keeping people safe, we need more end-to-end encryption not less.

WTF: A woman in court testifying to overturn a Texas law that forced her to give birth to a fetus with no chance of living got so upset she just THREW UP.

THANK YOU Samantha Casiano, for sharing your pain, to help so many others.

But what the Texas AG said in court was insane:

First, they said you and the other 12 women sharing your dangerous experiences of Texas' anti-abortion law are only doing so because you are on an "ideological crusade".

Next, the Texas AG team ADMITTED you were harmed but said it's "in the past".

THEN, when one woman testified about being denied an abortion for her nonviable pregnancy, they had the balls to OBJECT and say her testimony was IRRELEVANT.

I'm so furious right now. My home state of Texas is f**king nightmare.

Join me in thanking these brave 13 women and Center for Reproductive Rights for forcing Greg Abbott's Texas to hear these stories in court.

Because we can't let Republican leaderships lead us back to the middle ages. 👇

No, I stand by that.

All healthcare should be free.

Holy shit what is wrong with you?

“Sound of Freedom” is a dangerous child-trafficking exploitation film being weaponized to incite a death cult to target Democrats in order to destabilize American democracy.

It was funded by actual sex traffickers and accused sexual predators.

The brainwashed “star” believes Satanic Democrats are drinking children’s blood and regularly appears at Mike Flynn’s QAnon radicalization events.

The alleged “hero” of the film has funneled tens of millions of dollars from donations to his own bank accounts after raising money from conspiracy theories like children being shipped in Wayfair furniture—and from selling “the raid experience” to wealthy donors.

At the end of the film people are invited to donate money to frauds using their phones.

Your “review” elides all of this and gives it credit for having an authentic purpose or story.

It’s QAnon propaganda and you just helped it along.
Par for the course for you guys these days I guess.

@POTUS Great news. Can you call up @JNJNews CEO Joaquin Duato and ask him why he's trying to enforce secondary patents on bedaquiline even though he knows doing so will cost hundreds of thousands of human lives? I'd call him myself, but I don't have his number. #PatientsNotPatents

Yes and every citizen gets housing, health care, food and education. Whether youre a child, with disability, a senior, marginalized- your society has come together to ensure everyone is taken car of, this is a functional society.

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

The top ten states with the worst maternal mortality rates have all passed abortion bans.

When people say they care about women and children but don't give them access to high-quality and affordable care—including postpartum care—it's hypocrisy.

Some of the only people who should actually be in prison are the evil assholes who own and run private prisons.
