Here’s a BBC report of the mass shooting in Monterey Park near Lunar New Year festival site because over 3 hours after the incident, I could not find any national news reports from major U.S. print or broadcast media. (LA Times has headline coverage.)

This should really mark the end of the “benevolent billionaire” myth. Not only did Musk pay $44 billion for Twitter when he could’ve ended starvation globally with that money, he also has already literally backed out of a $6 billion promise to the UN to help solve world hunger.

This @nytimes feature on ordinary people who have survived the horrors of Martial Law should reach more Filipinos. It amplifies the truth that EVERYBODY was vulnerable to abuses during the dark era.
Echo their stories, remember their faces.

Too much tummy ache discourse. The headache girlies suffer mercifully in SILENCE. Lugging around 6000mg Excedrin at all times. Suddenly needing 5 hours to lie down with a bag of frozen tater tots on the neck. We are the rightful queens to the common physical ailment throne

Abortions in the 3rd trimester are almost always done for fetal anomalies. There is no 39 week “I’m bored so I’m having an abortion” abortion. These procedures are $20k plus. Seriously. Stop fetishizing the fetus.

An abortion ban will result in more men committing murder. This isn't hysteria or a false panic. It's an objective truth.
Homicide is the number 1 cause of death for pregnant women. Boyfriends and husbands who don't want to have a baby will take matters into their own hands.

Cinnabon would be absolutely delighted to find his forever home soon. 🐽 This little piggie loves playing with his wooden toys, and even more, interacting with his people. He is super social and outgoing. Stop by our Palo Alto shelter to meet him.
