A year ago, egg producer Cal-Maine pocketed $39.5 million in quarterly profit. This time around it was $323 million, a 718% increase.
But I thought all those expensive eggs were inflation and bird flu? https://ktla.com/news/money-smart/egg-producer-reports-718-increase-in-profit/

Anti-abortion laws which criminalize those who help women obtain them attack bonds between women & other loving relationships. They also posit women and girls are property (wives property of husbands, girls property of parents). @moiradonegan

@ajsadauskas economics is the religion that occupies the void in society vacated after the enlightenment.
Imaginary concepts conjured by the ruling class, protected from scrutiny, and imposed upon the masses.
Mythology was replaced with selective mathematics and finance.
Cathedrals replaced with banks.
Churches replaced with financial institutions.
God replaced with GDP.
Many of the Christian and conservative groups that led the charge against Roe v. Wade are behind a multimillion-dollar effort targeting LGBTQ rights through "parents' rights" bills.

On #TransDayOfVisibility, let's have more visibility of who's behind the anti-trans movement.
Groups like Alliance Defending Freedom are waging a multimillion-dollar campaign cruelly targeting trans people.
These groups don't care about freedom — they just want to spread hate.

@ramin_hal9001 Also, this "it's not the worst thing he did, so they shouldn't bother prosecuting him for it" essentially advocates giving him a get-out-of-jail free card for any crime short of treason. No. Prosecute him for any crimes for which there's evidence that can convict him, just like the rest of us would be.
I'm just gonna go and say it.
the age from which children should be allowed to change their name, their legal gender, and pick their own pronouns is 0.
they're not going to develop that wish before they have developed a sense for how gender works, and from the moment that they have, they should be able to be who they want to be.
sure, allowing even small children this type of freedom would mean a lot more experimentation, going back and forth, reversing choices, and would require a much more fluid understanding of names, gender and identity.
but why should that be a bad thing?

Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.
