If you're going to have to watch 3 hours of TV to see about 15 minutes of action the least they can do is fill some of those hours of nothing happening with something pleasant to look at. And she seems to be a pretty good human being too - which pisses off Republicans just because.

Ohio pastor criminally charged for letting homeless people shelter at church
Dad's Place opened its doors as a 24-hour warming shelter last March, 13 Action News (WTVG-TV) reports. The church often takes in people the neighboring homeless shelter cannot help, according to the outlet.
Let them eat blankets.

Pull the dictionaries from school libraries to save the children
I know. At first blush, it might sound crazy to ban dictionaries in schools.

Dictionaries are among the books flagged in Florida schools for inappropriate sexual content
Especially during the time when so many young people spell the word “you” just with the letter U, and a leading candidate for president writes about a “smocking gun.”

But it makes sense to ban dictionaries. After all, dictionaries are full of smut.

It’s just that the offending sexual content in dictionaries requires a little bit of imagination. OK, maybe a lot of imagination.
If you can’t tell, this is an opinion piece.

I haven’t watched NFL for a decade, don’t feel like I missed a thing

If given the choice between NFL game or Swift sing, I’d go with Swift

moms for fascism are not independent women. Stepford wives are not independent women.

Women who choose to be mothers and homemakers can be strong and independent but not all of them qualify.

Nearly 65,000 US rape victims could not get an abortion in their state, analysis shows
Nearly 65,000 rape-related pregnancies likely occurred in the 14 US states with near-total abortion bans following the US supreme court’s 2022 Dobbs decision – yet just 10 legal abortions are performed monthly on average in these states, researchers found in a new analysis.
...
“The large number of estimated rape-related pregnancies in abortion ban states compared with the 10 or fewer legal abortions per month occurring in each of those states indicates that persons who have been raped and become pregnant cannot access legal abortions in their home state, even in states with rape exceptions,” researchers wrote in a research letter in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine.
Such love and compassion from the MAGAt yahoos.

Anguish lingers as transgender kids’ families seek medical care outside Texas — and fight a state ban
The mother’s panic traced, she said, to why her family and others have spent untold money, time and emotional energy routinely commuting from Texas or moving away entirely: They want to give their transgender children the kind of gender-affirming treatment that’s deemed safe, effective and potentially lifesaving by many major medical groups but has been banned by a new state law that can make these families feel unwelcome – and even targeted – more broadly in the state, several told CNN.

So a parent movess her and her ‘transgender children’ to a state so her 12 year old transgender ‘daughter’ (is that a boy claiming to be a girl, or a girl claiming to be a boy?) can get irreversible puberty blockers. Sounds like child abuse.

And another family moves because 10 year old is ‘non binary’ (whatever that means) and a 14 year old is transgender.

Guarantee these were uber liberal parents before they even had kids.
