So the billionaire president’s multi-billionaire sugar daddy had his feelings hurt by the head of the FAA, so the billionaire president fired the head of the FAA — now there’s no one in charge of airline safety, and we have our first commercial airline crash in 16 years? Got it.

It’s ridiculous to suggest that a man who filled his website with Holocaust deniers, agreed with an antisemitic conspiracy theory, & helped elect another man who hosted a Holocaust denier for dinner & just pardoned a guy in a Camp Auschwitz T-shirt was doing a Nazi salute.

Lawyers for Liz Truss have asked me to stop saying Liz Truss crashed the economy. I only said Liz Truss crashed the economy because Liz Truss did crash the economy. If she wanted me to not say Liz Truss crashed the economy, she shouldn’t have crashed the economy. Please don’t share.

Abortion laws are affecting how physicians treat pregnancy loss. ProPublica reporters wrote a guide, made in consultation with dozens of doctors, for what to expect and what questions to ask. Read the full guide at: https://propub.li/4a6qtED 📽️ @carissaqmb.bsky.social

An appreciation post for @jessphillipsmp.bsky.social, who has devoted her political career to tackling violence against women. Elon Musk’s attack on her is ignorant & defamatory. Every year in Parliament, around International Women’s Day, Phillips reads the names of women killed by men that year.

From 2014, wonder whatever happened to this Farage guy who was criticised by families of survivors for politicising the grooming gangs?

After Musk’s latest outburst and attack against Jess Phillips, I’ve deactivated Shitter/X. Jess Phillips is probably the British MP who has done most to protect women and girls in the UK (alongside Keir Starmer). It’s not enough to only lurk on Shitter/X and no longer use it as much. Deactivate!

It will come as no surprise to anyone that Elon Musk and X are the biggest purveyors of online misinformation www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

Translator roles (unfortunately only for EU nationals) The Brexshitters took away jobs for linguists like me who only have British parents/grandparents. Brexit made me a 2nd class citizen. Great opportunity for English speakers with EU citizenship though. eu-careers.europa.eu/en/translato...

Sometimes the combination of arrogance and ignorance is breathtaking. Yes, US health care has high admin costs; that's because it relies so much on private insurers. Govt-run health insurance has much lower overhead

youtu.be/lQSnomtnEfs Thanks to Tommy’s, clinical research, and amazing healthcare professionals. Thanks for research into pregnancy loss, and to all those fighting to help prevent the pain that pregnancy loss causes.

You know what would really disrupt the publishing industry? Fair contracts and decent pay for authors. No AI training without the creator’s consent. Artists and translators on the cover. No NDAs for ghostwriters.

We had a Referendum on Brexit when no one really wanted one, and no one knew what it was. Now we want one and we know what we are voting for. We aren't allowed one. I don't know what you call that, but it isn't democracy.

NEW: Porsha Ngumezi is the fifth case we've reported on in which a woman died after not receiving a D&C or its second-trimester equivalent in time, or at all. Her case raises questions about how abortion bans are pressuring doctors to avoid standard care even in straightforward miscarriages.
