Of course, shouldn't have come to this, but love this quote from the judge to the librarian:

“I just want to say I’m so sorry you have to deal with this,” Leibson told Heckel. “I admire your courage. … I wish you had been my librarian when I was a kid.” https://t.co/IJIxtTC1p9

"By allowing kids some free rein in book choice, and by eliminating barriers to access, diversity, and privacy, we make it more likely that young readers will learn to love reading and libraries." - Dr. Loretta Gaffney #BannedBooksWeek #BooksUniteUs #JCPSLibraries @JCPSLMSDrLynn

In 90% of cases, he said, the cause of pregnancy loss is “intrinsic genetic abnormalities.”
Methamphetamine primarily affects the user’s brain and not the placenta, Kliman said, noting there is “no biological reason that methamphetamine should cause a pregnancy loss.”

“Politicians know FERPA is inadequate to protect students; in fact, last month, Democrats urged Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona to clarify how FERPA will protect college students’ private health information in light of the Supreme Court’s abortion ruling.”

“Long past time to start executing these doctors”

I found explicit, violent threats being made against doctors at Boston Children's Hospital online, sparked by a viral & completely bogus claim about transgender treatment made by the LibsofTikTok account

4 reasons why we’re not losing hope:
✅ Abortion support is at an all time high.
✅ Lawsuits temporarily blocked abortion bans in some states.
✅ Several states are PROTECTING abortion rights.
✅ We’ve come back from the brink before — and won.

Somewhere, Mike Pence is sipping a strong milk and thinking that it’s worth it to stan for a man who tried to have him assassinated because, without Trump, women would have bodily autonomy.

In many cases, online trolls probably feel that what they’re doing is righteous.

But the problem is that their reality is so miscalibrated that their behavior becomes irrational.
