lol, this administration is worried about antisemitism when it allows them to attach universities, but not if it means investigating a crime likely committed by someone who voted for them

In my new novel, I’m writing a couple in a strong marriage and it’s really fun. Feels almost subversive.

It’s official: CVS will not give a Covid booster to anyone under 65 without proof of a immunocompromise. My whole family just got denied. Fuck those who voted for this.

I’m usually ruthless at 50, but multiple times in the past year if I hadn’t pushed to page 100 I would have put down a book I ended up LOVING.

Two weeks have passed since a Florida Highway Patrol officer arrested the Honduran immigrant client of Magdalena Cuprys of Cuprys & Associates. “He was stopped at a weigh station in Tampa because he owns a construction company, and he was required to stop for his truck to be weighed,” Cuprys told me. “The client had a valid Florida driver’s license. The patrol officer called Customs and Border Protection on him. The client called me, and the officer took the phone from him and spoke with me.”

She asked why CBP was alerted. “I was advised that the client looked Hispanic, had a Hispanic name, and now they are collaborating with Immigration and Customs Enforcement and CBP, and their orders are to call CBP any time they encounter anyone they suspect is an immigrant,” said Cuprys. “I asked if they would have followed the same process if it had been me driving, and the response was it depends if you look Hispanic.”

American kids have become increasingly unhealthy over nearly two decades, new study finds A new study shows that the health of U.S. children has deteriorated over the past 17 years, with kids today more likely to experience obesity, chronic diseases and other problems.

Remember when Michelle Obama tried to make a dent in this and people were like, you're overstepping. I hate everything. apnews.com/article/chil...
