@lyzl And so while your book is so good for many reasons I also felt particularly vindicated by your argument about how our society uses marriage (and the unpaid labor of women) as a safety net in lieu of creating an actual functional one.
@lyzl I don’t know why you would know this but my undergrad thesis was on Christian responses to the ‘96 welfare reform act and my furious bewilderment that a law that was ostensibly about poverty began with 15 pages on the importance of [heterosexual] marriage.
A complaint that an individual active in leadership of the Global Methodist Church remained a UMC clergyperson and was here as a delegate. The ethics review said it was highly unethical, but they were not able to act to remove to within our rules to respond. #UMCGC#UMC
Told ya. Heritage is the lead organizer of Project 25. They want the next Republican president to give them control over approving and withdrawing approval of drugs. They are coming for birth control via the FDA, regardless of the courts. 1/
ProPublica + @SLTrib spoke to women who went to Utah police to report an OB-GYN for sexual assault, but faced barriers because no one spoke Spanish.
One woman said she didn’t feel believed by officers, calling it “one of the worst days of my life.” https://t.co/8FyKwua390
For more than a decade, the all-white judges of a Louisiana appellate court ignored thousands of petitions filed by prisoners, most of them Black, who claimed they had been wrongly convicted.
Efforts to expose the injustice went unheard. (THREAD)

I've returned several times to the strange social question, "Why are Americans so angry at the idea that child sex trafficking - particularly by large organizations and by kidnapping American kids - is not as common as people suggest?" Because they are, this comes up every
There's been much gaslighting & moderate justifying of the new Florida social studies standards, people stating the "clarifications" were designed to show Black resilience, or were just "facts." So, I thought I'd compare the African-American history standards to the Holocaust's.
This is a big. Blue Spring is part of a much larger underground cave system that many people rely on for clean drinking water.
Why companies like Nestles and Zephyrhills are allowed to bottle water from Florida aquifers is something I will never understand. We need every drop.
For @WeAreFarmers to exit FL in the middle of hurricane season — leaving policy holders high & dry, searching for replacement coverage that is both unaffordable & hard to come by — is irresponsible & dangerous. The state must do more to solve this quality of life issue for Floridians. Costs keep rising & insurers keep fleeing, but there’s no relief in sight.
DeSantis ally Randy Fine did not make the final selection for FAU President so now DeSantis appointed Board of Governors (BOG) who oversee the State University System are freezing the entire search process. 1/2
JUST IN: The Supreme Court is allowing an 1890 Mississippi Jim Crow law whose authors said it was designed "to eliminate the n**ger from politics" to stand, rejecting an appeal.
The law still disenfranchises thousands of Black voters. Jackson dissented.
