Right wing extremists are trying to block access to PrEP, which all but eliminates HIV risk. It’s part of their Make America Sick Again agenda. PrEP can end HIV infections globally. These zealots don’t want that. They want to go back to the 1950s. They want people to get HIV as punishment for sin.

In Florida, a 15-year-old girl was the subject of a police investigation that involved armed officers asking her teammates if they had ever seen her nude and a 500-page report detailing changes in her body weight and notes from her guidance counselor--all because she wanted to play volleyball

Apparently the Church of Scientology has sent out “volunteer ministers” in bright yellow shirts to steal tons of supplies donated to at least 1 fire recovery resource site (Santa Anita race track) to redistribute to their “low income community.” Reads like stealing stuff to use to proselytize.

A teeny weeny 2% tax on Britain’s super rich would raise £24 billion. Think of all the good we could with a sum like that - and it would only ever so slightly make the tax system more fair - plenty of room for improvement after that.

I've always hated Meta but this Dana White news still shook me. I'm so sick to my stomach. I represented many DV victims early in my career, it's something I deeply care about. To see Meta elevate a wife beater to the board is so morally repugnant. Meta is cancer on our society.

The most perverse thing about these far right and neo nazi inspired terror attacks is that the far right just spins it to their advantage. They either dismiss it as a psyop or still blame immigrants or trans people. This is despite their ideology directly inspiring terrorists and mass shootings.

I suspect new development in Miami has skewed condo rather than rental for a long time for other reasons but I wonder if as climate risk increases, it’s skewing even more toward condo so developers can offload as much of that risk to condo buyers as possible www.miamiherald.com/news/local/e...
