Women’s reproductive rights, contraception, LGBTQ rights, IVF, now this:

The Christian right is coming for divorce next - Vox

“Conservative commentators and lawmakers are calling for an end to no-fault divorce, arguing that it has harmed men and even destroyed the fabric of society.”

@GottaLaff this is devastating. I remember when no fault divorce was introduced in Australia, sitting around the kitchen table, listening to my mum and her friends discuss a friend who had left a violent husband and another who was hiding stuff at our house getting ready to run. It’s about 50 years ago but I still sense the fear. 😧

"Since March 25, when the bird flu virus was confirmed in U.S. cattle for the first time, weekly sales of raw cow’s milk have ticked up 21% to as much as 65% compared with the same periods a year ago."

This is why we can't have nice things.

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/health/raw-milk-sales-spike-despite-cdcs-warnings-of-risk-associated-with-bird-flu

Raw milk sales spike despite CDC’s warnings of risk associated with bird flu Sales of raw milk appear to be on the rise, despite years of warnings about the health risks of drinking the unpasteurized products — and an outbreak of bird flu in dairy cows. Since March 25, when the bird flu virus was confirmed in U.S. cattle for the first time, weekly sales of raw cow’s milk have ticked up 21% to as much as 65% compared with the same periods a year ago, according to the market research firm NielsenIQ. That runs counter to advice from the Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which calls raw milk one of the “riskiest” foods people can consume.

    New lawsuit accuses Trump campaign of illegally attempting to hide payments to women https://www.rawstory.com/aj-delgado/

    When you get away with crime for so long it must become a habit.

    ‘Delgado, a former Trump 2016 campaign aide…accus[ed] longtime Trump aide Jason Miller of engaging in "a cycle of sexual coercion, rape, sexual assault, abuse, battery, sexual harassment, and sex trafficking."

    ‘Delgado…claimed discrimination because she lost her job during pregnancy.

    ‘… accuses Trump attorney Mark Kasowitz of admitting the campaign selected to move settlements through a law firm to keep a payout back in 2017 in an effort to dodge federal disclosure laws…’

    ‘She also suspects there is enough “information and reason to believe” that Trump's campaign made payments — specifically $4.1 million that she claims flowed to Kasowitz’s law firm over a two-month period immediately following the November 2020 election.’

    #TrumpTrial preamble via McBrien:

    There are many, many new faces here today, and it was dog eat dog trying to get a seat in the press overflow room.

    I'm sure everyone just wants to experience the pristine, modern facilities of 100 Centre St.

    Just kidding, it's Stormy, duh.

    To give you a sense of just how hard it was to get in today — a member of the public who sat down behind me in the press overflow room personally hired a line sitter who got here at 3am.

    "Most of its expenses are tied to interest on debt, although TMTG also had around a $16 million operating loss for 2023."

    Since the total operating losses were $58 million that's $42 million just for interest on debt! Interest. How big is the debt? How was it incurred? This is a social media company using tweaked open source software. They didn't make a new technology, there is no need for a huge investment to get a website running.

    Where did they money go?

    How federal tax dollars meant to fight could end up boosting ’s fossil fuel production

    "On the surface, these projects seem beneficial. Keeping carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere prevents the greenhouse gas from fueling climate change. In practice, however, this may lead to a net increase in production and more emissions.

    Louisiana has taken advantage of disasters to boost the fossil fuel industry before."

    @CelloMomOnCars CCS is another scam to extract money from the government while doing nothing to reduce carbon emissions.

    Exxon CEO Darren Woods says the quiet part out loud: The problem with renewable energy sources is that they “don't generate above-average returns for Exxon's shareholders.” — @pluralistic https://pluralistic.net/2024/03/06/exxonknew/

    The sun generates virtually limitless and free energy, with much of it available in the form of wind and tides. And we’re already well underway to harnessing that energy.

    Former Exxon top DC lobbyist Keith McCoy “confessed to everything: funding fake grassroots groups and falsifying the science – he even names the senators who took his bribes. McCoy singled out Manchin for special praise, calling him "a kingmaker" and boasting about the "standing weekly calls" Exxon had with Manchin's office.”

    Overnight on Wednesday, stretching into the early hours of Thursday morning, an intense bombing campaign took place across Gaza’s southernmost city, Rafah.

    “This is absolutely terrifying in a densely populated area. Right now, Rafah has been a center for Israeli attacks,” Al Jazeera correspondent Tareq Abu Azzoum added.
