How dare Ukraine be given cluster weapons to use on our military like we use on their civilians…..

Read an article today about why Americans think alcohol has health benefits and it's apparently another "well the French are healthy and they do X so it's healthy to do X."

So here's your periodic reminder that France (and Italy, and Sweden, and Japan, and basically every country you've seen in a "this country is so healthy, what's their secret?" headline) has universal health care.

The secret is access to health care. It's always access to health care.

Note about 2 women kissing in #StarTrek #DS9

Steve Oster recollected that a man called the show and complained, "You're ruining my kids by making them watch two women kiss like that." It was a production assistant who took the call. After hearing the man's complaint, the PA asked if the man would've been okay with his kids seeing one woman shoot the other. When the man said he would be okay with that, the PA said, "You should reconsider who's messing up your kids."

They had a barricade with armed guards checking parents coming to pickup their kids from camp.

I really struggled with the icing for my gingerbread barn and it accidentally became a gingerbread slaughterhouse.

@StillIRise1963 I’m 65. Domestic violence was considered a family matter. No one was prosecuted for it, women were told by their various churches to do better and endure.
Rape was impossible to prosecute. There was no Miranda Law. No fault divorce did not exist. My mother had to get written permission from her father to go to college.
Abortion was illegal at every stage. Segregation was the norm. Civil rights did not exist.
They want us to go back to that time.

@bethpdx when the dude in the robe has no better sense than not knowing when he’s being used, he shows no wisdom or discernment afforded his position. In other words, he can’t be that dumb—so it must be that greedy.

WTF - this is a WAR Barbara Lee, AND let's not forget, Russia has been using cluster bombs against Ukraine from day 1.

Your moral leadership won't save innocent Ukrainian citizens from being bombed in their cities!
