the amount of men asking "what if she gets her period and starts a war" about a 60 year old woman is a prime example of why men need to stay out of our reproductive rights.
All this talk of a ballroom to service the super wealthy while the rest of us continue to pay more for healthcare and basic essentials makes me think of this powerful political cartoon from 1906, the artist is William Balfour Ker.

When Joe Biden got diagnosed with an illness.. they celebrated.
When Nancy Pelosi husband was beaten half to death.. they celebrated.

New data shows Israel has killed over 680,000 Palestinians in Gaza.
Among them:
• 380,000 infants under 5
• 99,000 children over 5

Israel isn’t “defending itself.”
It is wiping out Palestinian life.
