Wednesday, May 15, 2019

And another day of trouble, tent cities, pardons, and virtual kidnappings comes to a close:

"If only these activist teenagers and migrant babies and black children and assault survivors and gay couples had stayed there in the womb: they'd be safe from the pro-life Christians. There, they'd still be worth them defending." — John Pavlovitz

Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey signs the nation's most restrictive anti-abortion bill into law. Rape, incest, mentally and/or physically disabled people who suffer either, it doesn’t matter, come on down. We’ll protect a bunch of cells in that womb, but as soon as you pop out of that uterus that we actually own, well, you better pull yourself up by your bootstraps you lazy sod. At least until we can ship you off to kill people in foreign lands. Then, if you happen to return after that, it’s back to bootstrap pulling you ungrateful snowflake.

Yes, Roe really is in trouble. Roe v. Wade has survived for decades because of luck. That’s about to change.

White House rejects Democrats' request for documents in obstruction probe.

U.S. military to build 6 tent cities near border for migrants. The tents will likely not be on military bases, and ICE — not the military — will be responsible for migrant detention and custodial support.

Trump granted a full pardon to former media mogul Conrad Black.

Virtual kidnappings are rattling families across the US. Stories like the Bakers' are increasingly common due to the influx of spoofing, a form of robo-calling that lets a perpetrator alter what number it appears they are calling from. They can then use that number, combined with personal information they find online, to fake a situation like a kidnapping.

Starting Wednesday, users who break Facebook's "most serious policies" will be immediately banned from using Facebook Live for a period of time.

The current Ebola outbreak has a fatality rate of 66% and public health experts are concerned.

Plastic Pollution In The Ocean Affects The Oxygen We Breathe.

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

Until next time, my friends. Good night.
