Saturday, May 18, 2019

And another day where a Republican finally uses the “I” word, disabled people wait on death row, and decades of legalized rape comes to a close:

“We will never see a day when women of means are not able to get a safe abortion in this country.” -- Ruth Bader Ginsburg

GOP Rep. Justin Amash is the first congressional Republican to say impeaching President Trump is the proper response to the Mueller report. A Republican that’s actually read the report! Amazing!

North Carolina: Where no doesn't mean no when it comes to rape and sexual assault. “And so, in North Carolina, as it has ever been since at least the Disco Era, it is perfectly legal for someone to drug your drink, rape you, and then simply call it consensual sex. What in the what has this world come to?” Holy cow. This is so completely whacked.

States pushing abortion legislation rank poorly when it comes to child well-being. Because these people are only pro-birth. They are not pro-life.

Democratic governor ready to sign Louisiana abortion ban bill. He's ready to sign legislation that would ban the procedure as early as six weeks of pregnancy, before many women know they are pregnant.

While some states are restricting abortion, others move to bolster access.

Trump admin is denying citizenship to some children of same-sex couples.

Sen. Bernie Sanders is calling for a temporary halt to public funding directed toward nonprofit charter school expansion and an outright ban on for-profit charter institutions.

Almost everyone on death row is disabled. They also tend to be multiply marginalized by race, class, and other factors. They are NOT the "worst of the worst."

Why is the Trump Administration’s overtime proposal so insulting? It expects people to work for free if they make over $35,308, asserting that your employer might not need to pay you overtime if you make more than that. This seems, I don’t know, ripe for abuse.

California's finest restaurants pay workers of color $6 per hour less than white workers.

The universe may be a billion years younger than we thought. Scientists are scrambling to figure out why.

Life’s short. Live, love, create, and help others.

Until next time, my friends. Good night.
