Providing necessary healthcare is vastly different than providing hate-speech mailers. I’m OK with the post office having a rule about not delivering mailers with blatant misinformation and/or hate-speech aimed against marginalized minority groups.
At some point we have to recognize that these organizations are delivering blatant misinformation and hate-speech. That is, speech designed to “other” an already minority group of civilians.
These postcards accuse teachers of “pushing transgenderism” and describe gender-affirming medical care as “chemical and surgical mutilation.”
This hateful and divisive rhetoric has real effects on trans people just trying to live their lives, and one should not be forced to participate in the dissemination of said hate-speech propaganda. I’m glad that they just suspended her, and ended up paying her for the days missed after she came back.
I, for one, am sick an tired of being delivered hate-speech in the mail. Some of the republican mailers I get are littered with the same hateful misinformation. It does nothing but foment anger towards an already marginalized minority group. It’s wrong, and the post office should refuse to deliver it.
Literally isn’t.
Avg hospital CEO earns $649,198 to $1,093,977 in my state of NC.
That’s who the system is working for. Additionally, all it’s share holders.
The U.S. health care system is a failure because of the continued existence of health insurance companies over the more streamlined approach of Medicare for All.
Also this graph is hilarious, albeit depressing.
The same cognitive dissonance that allows them to both act on, and excuse instances of molestation in their community/family, is the very same driver of their wanton disregard of the people harmed by republican policies. They see any instances of pedophilia in their ranks as “just a bad apple,” while they identify an entire race of people as rapists if a single news report shows a member of that race/minority group committing such an act. It’s entirely predicated on their belief that they are superior, and it is because of something inherent within them, that does not exist in others. They judge themselves not by their actions (and consequences of said actions) but by their intentions, while they have no such qualms demonizing any number of minority groups for the actions of a single member.
so, short answer, yes.
Long answer, yessssssssssssssssssssssssssss.
I am continually inspired by the wonderful AOC. This is a grand idea!
illegitimate scotus members have blood on their hands. Every lawmaker that voted for these despicable measures knew exactly what the outcome would be, and that’s why they voted for it.
The Purpose of a system is what it does.
fucking VOTE.
VOTE LIKE THE LIVES OF EVERY WOMAN IN YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT.
On 5 November 1910,[2][3] on her 14th outbound voyage, carrying a mixed cargo including a number of pianos for Chile, Preussen was at 23:35 rammed by the small British cross-channel steamer Brighton 8 nautical miles (15 km) south of Newhaven.[4] Contrary to regulations, Brighton had tried to cross her bows, underestimating her high speed of 16 knots (30 km/h). Preussen was seriously damaged and lost much of her forward rigging (bowsprit, fore topgallant mast), making it impossible to steer the ship to safety.
Brighton returned to Newhaven to summon aid and the tug Alert was sent to assist Preussen. A November gale thwarted attempts to sail or tug her to safety in Dover Harbour. It was intended to anchor her off Dover, but both anchor chains broke, and Preussen was driven onto rocks at Crab Bay, where she sank as a result of the damage inflicted on her. While crew, cargo and some equipment could be saved from Preussen, with the keel broken she was rendered unsalvageable. She sits in 6 metres (3.3 fathoms) of water at 51°8.02′N 1°22.17′E. The Master of Brighton was found to be responsible for the accident and lost his licence as a result. A few ribs of Preussen can be seen off Crab Bay at low spring tides.
Wow, that captain messed up big time.
Almost have to give props to him for being a consistently irredeemable racist piece of shit.
because women approach him and treat THEMSELVES as sex objects
That’s some A+ victim blaming right there. E. Jean Carroll didn’t do shit
Doesn’t really matter if they weren’t targeted if they still ended up dead.
That’s a nice thing your mom did, and your tattoo is a great reminder that however bad we’re feeling in the moment, that “this too, shall pass.”
bro, what? did you even read the article? they shot him? he didn’t get away?
wow. the fact that they’re finding these chemicals in Placental and Amniotic fluid is nuts
And then the chemicals themselves are just… a list of some very nasty things
I’m reminded of the Propublica article that blew the lid off the fact that 3M’s PFAS accumulates in our tissues and causes cancer.
At the time, Johnson said, he didn’t think PFOS caused significant health problems. Still, he told me, “it was obviously bad,” because man-made compounds from household products didn’t belong in the human body. He said that he argued against using fluorochemicals in toothpaste and diapers. (…) “These idiots were already putting it in food packaging,” he said.
What I want to understand is how the cops shot themselves… were they facing each other with the perp in between them?
Joe Lozito would probably have something to say about cops willingness to let a crazed knife wielding man aboard a train…

Maddrey said the officers followed the man, each firing a Taser which proved ineffective in subduing the man. He then exited the train while it was still at the station and charged the officers with the knife, the chief said.
it was the next sentence from what you copied lol
The actual answer is likely under 15
Supporting freedom loving Ukrainians in their fight against the fascist dictatorship of putin (how does he keep avoiding all those leaky windows?) is absolutely the right thing to do.
And not just because it’s the right thing to do, but it further shows russia as the paper tiger it is, telling the whole world exactly what one can expect from their populist, fascist, far-right, “strong-man” dictators in the end. They seek only the furtherance of their own power/wealth, and will decimate your country to get it. They will enjoy 5-star meals on their yacht as they tell their corrupt generals to send wave after wave of innocent men to their deaths.
Slava Ukraini!
