The “Truth” about why the headphone jack was removed.
I wonder how much damage has been done to the human brain with bluetooth tech?
@amy_bresnen The most fascinating political arc of our time is how the GOP is using the resistance to Sharia as a campaign tactic while simultaneously enacting laws that mirror those of Islamic countries.
Pete Hegseth was just caught lying publicly about an attack that claimed the lives of 6 US service members
He was publicly condemned and corrected by those who survived the attack; stating there was NO fortifications on this base and it was a KNOWN Iranian missile target
Iranian Ambassador: I think that, once more, this war has shown that the United States will not bring security and stability to the region.
In response to the representative of the United States, I only want to refer to some remarks by the U.S. president, who initiated this war of aggression against Iran.
On March 21st, he threatened to hit and obliterate Iran’s power plants. On March 28th, he escalated this threat, saying he wanted to blow up and completely obliterate critical infrastructure, including power plants, oil facilities, Kharg Island, and desalination installations.
On April 1st, he declared his intention to bring Iran “back to the Stone Age,” explicitly threatening to strike all electric generating facilities. On April 5th, he again openly threatened to target civilian infrastructure, stating that “Tuesday will be power plant day and bridge day. There will be nothing like it.”
And two days later, he resorted to language that is not only deeply irresponsible but profoundly alarming, declaring that “the whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back.”
Such rhetoric is unbefitting of any political leader, let alone the head of a permanent member of the Council entrusted with the maintenance of international peace and security.
MUST WATCH: Today, Tennessee House Republican Representative Michele Reneau stated the following on a House education bill: “The Bible actually does instruct those who do own slaves on how to treat them.”
She is then, justifiably, TORCHED by Justin Pearson.
Stop using and weaponizing the Bible to justify committing atrocities, white people (and those adjacent)!! 🤬
I NEEDED an endometrial biopsy.
I was bleeding for months. Passing clots the size of my palm. Fainting at work. Iron levels in the basement.
Doctor looked at my chart and said:
“You’re only 27.”
“Pain is normal for women.”
“Have you tried losing weight?”
“Sometimes women exaggerate cramps.”
“What if this is just stress?”
I said I can’t function. I can’t stand up without seeing stars. I’m scared.
He said:
“Let’s not jump to invasive procedures.”
“What if you want kids soon?”
“A biopsy can cause scarring.”
“You don’t want to risk fertility over heavy periods.”
Heavy periods.
Not hemorrhaging.
Not anemia.
Not collapsing in the shower.
Heavy periods.
He offered birth control for the fourth time.
I said, “I don’t care about preserving fertility. I care about not blacking out.”
He paused.
“Have you discussed that with your partner?”
So I brought him.
Doctor to him:
“Are you okay if she can’t have children?”
“You’re young. You might want a family.”
“Would that be a dealbreaker?”
Him:
“She needs to stop bleeding. That’s the only family planning we’re discussing.”
Suddenly the biopsy was scheduled.
Pathology came back: precancerous cells.
But sure.
Let’s center hypothetical babies and imaginary men while a woman is actively deteriorating in front of you.
Misogyny in medicine isn’t always loud.
Sometimes it’s just asking a dying woman if a man might want kids someday.
