Scientists already know that abortion restrictions and bans increase the number of dead women, but a new study on Texas shows that it also increases the number of dead babies. So that's very cool, very pro-life 🧪 skepchick.org/2024/07/texa...

man I got a pap smear a few months back and was annoyed I had to scroll to the end of a bunch of gobbleygook to see the word "negative" and then scroll back up to be sure that was the good thing. dudes need to just send a subject line like "good news your cooch is fine"

Trump can talk all he wants about how when he's president he's going to prosecute Mike Pence, Mitch McConnell, and Liz Cheney for treason but I still think we should vote for the Democrat www.nytimes.com/2024/07/01/u...

Also the recall's original reason was that the mayor fired the police chief because he wouldn't discipline a cop who did a hit and run and then later accidentally fired his gun in an elevator & then threw the evidence off the Bay Bridge www.ktvu.com/news/questio...

a funny thing happening in Oakland rn is that conservatives were trying to recall our mayor but they didn't actually have a reason, and then the FBI raided her house which gives them a great reason but now THEY'RE being investigated for ethics violations, too

hey Bay Área friends, the next three days will be brutally hot so you’ll probably wanna find a hangout with A/C but I want you to know that there’s also a COVID surge happening so I guess you should just die, bc that’s the timeline we live in, where we just die and that’s it ❤️

Ever since the disastrous Biden Trump debate last week, I've seen a lot of references to the first televised presidential debate. Did JFK win the presidency because he looked better than Nixon on TV? Let's look at the science! 🧪 skepchick.org/2024/07/pres...

whether biden steps down or not I’m excited for December of 2024 when I will be told that progressives are the reason Trump won. lt will either be bc biden was FORCED to step down and they didn’t have enough time to replace him or else that my disappointment in him stopped people from voting.

YouTube is launching their own version of Xitter's Community Notes. Will it actually help stop the misinformation that runs rampant on the platform, or is it going to get me deplatformed? skepchick.org/2024/06/will...

we’re talking about leftists who are considering not voting for biden because of his stance on israel. that’s not apathetic.

What could possibly happen during this debate to make anyone change their minds? Serious question. Literally the only thing I can think of is Biden announcing he’s done doing genocides or Trump dying of a massive heart attack.

Look there are a lot of reasons why progressives should criticize Biden, like the whole genocide thing. But him being super old isn’t one of them. Oh he might die in office? Okay! Cool. More conservative democrats should be on the brink of death. I support that position
