Anti-choicers hoped Dobbs would end abortion. Instead, the abortion rate went up. I spoke with researchers Carole Joffe and David Cohen about why. This story is about heroes: everyday people who filled the gaps to get women the care they need. www.salon.com/2025/03/25/w...

Did you know David Gilmour once sold his £3 million London mansion and donated every penny to a homeless charity called Crisis? He said, "I don't need all this luxury while others are fighting for a roof." No media catwalk, no rockstar egos-just pure generosity. He quietly changed lives❤️

Our stock market is crashing. Our economy is contracting. Our government is dismantling. Our allies are fleeing. Our grocery prices are rising. But at least we now call it "The Gulf of America." So it all evens out.

To defend the vitriol a bit: It is simply not true that most people who got leopard-eaten will learn their lesson. Even if they dump Trump, they will eagerly back the next fascist demagogue. This video is a helpful explainer. youtu.be/veGq9gcmc2E?...

Wild to me that the dominant reaction on here seems to be that this is bad journalism because it treats a Trump voter as a human. I'm not a strategist but if you belong to a party that wants to win elections, shouldn't you regard folks like this as part of your next coalition instead of the enemy?

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

Elon Musk doesn't read as Christian (though I get into why that's misleading). But make no mistake: his rampage through the federal government is helping pave the way for a Christian nationalist takeover. www.salon.com/2025/02/14/w...

I spoke to a talented junior scientist who just got a good faculty job offer in the US and they told me “well I wouldn’t move to 1930s Germany either” so that’s how that’s going

Now do the date and location of the funeral services for all the victims of his decision to continue with catastrophically faulty Ai claim assessments.
