Hasn't even been a year and Zohran's governance is having a massive impact on my family. Our daycare was able to open a 15-seat 3K program because of the 2,000 extra seats the admin funded. Everyone we know got in somewhere they wanted. This is gonna save us almost 50 grand.
@motherofprawns@newstart_2024 I put actual clocks in every room. Bathroom, bedroom, living room, so I constantly see the time. I also decide how much time I’m going to take to do something (for a shower on a work/school morning I set my phone for 7 minutes and place it where I can see it).
New Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Magyar finally appeared as a guest on state television M1 for the first time ever. Here’s what he told the journalist.
“We will suspend this channel's news service. This isn't about me; I'm not seeking revenge. Our people deserve journalism that reflects the truth.”
“We will nationalize the assets given to businesspeople and foundations during the Orbán era.”
“The Mathias Corvinus Collegium Foundation, close to Orbán, was transferred 10% of MOL (oil company) and Gedeon Richter (pharmaceutical company) for free. We will take back these shares.”
“After 16 years of the Orbán era, 400,000 Hungarian children in this country are living in deep poverty.”
“President Sulyok is no longer the president of this country in my eyes or in the eyes of the people.”
(In response to the host asking about his meeting with Zelensky as a counterpoint) “I get your joke, and I even like it. But your references no longer carry any meaning.”
“According to you, Germany has collapsed, there's no internet there, people aren't even having sex. The Hungarian people were laughing at you.”
“It was said on this channel that even my young children won't talk to me, when in fact my children live with me.”
(When the host interrupted him) “No host in this studio ever dared to interrupt Hungary's most corrupt and most lying prime minister.”
(When asked about the legal basis for closing the news service) “For someone on this channel to accuse me of breaking the law looks like a thief accusing the police.”
A 90-year-old woman emailed me this week. She told me she was raped by her doctor 60 years ago.
"A woman lawyer told me not to prosecute him because I would be dragged through the mud," she explained.
I get emails like this almost every day. These women aren't asking me for anything, except to acknowledge them and their pain.
They want the world to understand that they have been silenced by a system in which men say "eight years ago?" as if there is a deadline that expired for their trauma.
Very, very sad to report that Hayam El Gamal, mother of 5 kids detained at Dilley for 10+ months, has suffered a serious medical emergency due to systematic denial of medical attention by ICE.
We can now share the following:
For many weeks Ms. El Gamal has been concerned about a growth on her chest that has caused pain for many weeks. She has made complaints to Dilley staff and ICE repeatedly but has been denied a visit to an outside doctor. She had specifically made requests for a CT scan to identify the lump and the source of her pain.
On Thursday April 8, a doctor at Dilley told her that he had put in a request for a CT scan but "higher ups" in either ICE or CoreCivic overrode his request, and so no scan was conducted. Medical records show she had been demanding help since February, at which time she said her pain had been already worsening for 8 weeks. A doctor at Dilley said the lump in her chest was merely a bone.
Mid-morning on Friday April 9, Ms. El Gamal began experiencing excruciating pain which she rated an 11 out of 10. She described the pain as being stabbed through the back to the stomach. At about 11 AM central time she began pleading with officials for painkillers and medical attention. After two hours of asking for help (at around 1 PM central time) she was taken to an off-site emergency room. While there she received lab work and, finally, a CT scan. The CT scan confirmed that the lump was not a bone, but it did not reveal what the lump was.
The scan also showed she has "fluid around the heart." The ER doctor recommended an ultrasound to determine what was causing the pain, but this was denied. Ms. El Gamal was told she had to go back to Dilley and was not given the ultrasound. We do not know if the lump is cancerous, all we know is that the pain is increasing, the incidents are becoming worse and worse, and she is not receiving proper diagnosis that could lead to proper treatment.
After 10 months in detention, Ms. El Gamal remains in pain. We are concerned that the systematic denial of medical attention may result in her death. Her children are extremely worried about their mother, who is now their only guardian. Her five year old child has been denied the right to go to a dentist for 13 cavities. Her 16 year old son was told to take tylenol when he suffered from acute appendicitis. All of the children are suffering from depression.
Please join us in demanding the El Gamal's immediate release so that she can acquire the urgent medical attention she desperately needs. This family has suffered enough.
Khanna: They’re saying this technology is going to be bigger than nuclear, bigger than electricity, bigger than aviation.
Last I checked, we have an FAA for aviation, nuclear energy is regulated, and electricity is regulated.
So you’re telling me on one hand that this is going to be bigger, and then you’re saying you don’t want any regulation. I mean, it makes no sense.
@morninggloria Yikes. It just sucks that women have to put everything on the line to shut down these assholes. The men get to keep their clean reputations and women just have to hope they’re in the right whisper networks
Apropos of nothing: predators thrive on grooming and isolation-- making you believe that you're special and/or that you're alone. But you are never the only one. The guys that do this will do this until somebody stops them.
Absolutely massive win for the people of Hungary, Europe and fans of democracy. Also, hell of a week for @JDVance. Everything that guy touched turned to shit.
@morninggloria Can we have a health system with affordable prenatal/delivery costs? No
Can we make birth safer to lower the staggering maternal mortality rate? No
Can we have paid leave? No
Can we make childcare affordable? No
Can we make workplaces more flexible? No
MUST BE THE GIRL BOSSING
If you are an American, you paid to kill those school girls. Your standard of living might be going down, if you are working class your life expectancy is probably a decade lower than your counterparts in other comparable countries, but your government will always have money to slaughter children.
The Worst White House Aide in History
For the good of the nation and his already tarnished legacy, Trump should fire Stephen Miller immediately.

For two years, assholes on this website screamed that the Gaza Health Ministry numbers were made up or inflated or somehow not real. Now the IDF accepts their accuracy. The real death toll is probably much larger but the truth is still buried under the rubble.
