An article describing how a Norwegian immigrant married a US citizen but ICE detailed her and refused her insulin, causing blindness and almost killed her. In between, an ad from the common sense leadership fund lauds the president's "understanding of the art of the deal" and boosts his alleged pro-business agenda

The contrast is ghoulish. A "pro-business" president nearly killing people because cruelty is the point.

'Abortion Reversal' is Unethical. Here's Why. As a bioethicist who conducted research at three highly ranked research universities across the country, the continued efforts to undermine medication abortion, including the promotion of β€˜abortion pi...

"Anti-abortion advocates aim to confuse women by promoting β€˜abortion reversal,’ [which]...lacks credible scientific support. Quite simply, there is no ethical way to design an abortion reversal study. Meanwhile, we have 25 years of evidence proving that medication abortion is safe and effective."

The DEI pushback was big but they also pissed off other groups simultaneously like conservatives with pride merch. I had the same experience as you with Target generally, but I think their dedicated base was more diverse than assumed and the confluence of these mishmash groups screwed them.

A terrible February jobs report. The U.S. economy LOST 92,000 jobs last month, while the unemployment rate rose to 4.4%, one of the highest levels seen in the past few years.

December was revised down to -17,000 jobs, while January was revised to 126,000.

Pseudoscientific Push to Frame Abortion as a β€˜Water Quality’ Issue Rears Its Head in Iowa About an hour into the Republican gubernatorial debate in Iowa earlier this...

β€œβ€¦it is part of a national push from anti-abortion groups to make speculative and far fetched environmental concerns a core part of their messaging. The effort to frame abortion medication as a threat to the water supply is one such claim, and lacks any concrete scientific basis.”
