A West Virginia prosecutor said Friday that while he doesn’t want to investigate women for miscarriages, his colleagues are discussing it. He suggested people protect themselves by self-reporting pregnancy losses to police or a doctor. Why this is a horrible idea, feat @ifwhenhow.bsky.social

We don’t celebrate Pride for the rainbows or parades, we do it because right now someone out there believes they don’t deserve love, just because of who they are or who they love. That’s why we celebrate Pride—because we want to build a world where no one feels that way.

Disbarred thieving lawyer Tom Girardi has been sentenced to 87 months in prison, which is 7 1/4 years. Not even his pants falling down in court yesterday could persuade U.S. District Judge Josephine Staton to put him in a home instead of prison. He’s to report on July 17.

RFK Jr. is absolutely poisonous. He has now caused Dr. Lakshmi Panagiotakopoulos, the person in charge of COVID19 vaccinations at the CDC, to resign. She did so because RFK Jr. demanded that the experts in charge of vaccine guidance listen to him and not to the scientific evidence.

Bigots in his neighborhood burned his house down, killed his dogs, and murdered him . . . all for being gay in Texas. So don't you dare complain that there's no reason for #LGBT people to have a Pride holiday that announces our right to live safely and openly. www.usatoday.com/story/entert...

Rare is the piece that so clearly says “I don’t care about you or your community,” than this one claiming that the focus on teenage gun violence deaths is overblown and based on fundraising and political goals since most of the victims are Black—and not “your kids.” What the hell?

HAWLEY: Let's see the Trump chart. You don't think it's a little bit anomalous that Trump has so many more nationwide injunctions against him? KATE SHAW: A very plausible explanation you have to consider is that he's engaged in much more lawless activity than other presidents
