Just to point out that while George Santos was finally expelled from the U.S. House of Representatives after being charged with 23 felony crimes, committing astounding levels of fraud, and fabricating absolutely stupid amounts of his background, it still required the heavy-lifting of Democratic members to close the deal, and a majority of Republicans voted to allow him to remain.

House Speaker Mike Johnson -- who was unanimously elected as the Republican leader of the House by GOP members in October -- continued to demonstrate his moral leadership by voting to let Santos hold on to his seat in Congress.

A Black couple living in Dallas say their 2-week-old daughter was taken from them because they decided to have a home birth with a midwife.

Home-births and midwifery services are increasingly sought out by Black pregnant people and families over traditional hospital settings amid a mounting maternal mortality crisis exacerbated by systemic medical racism. Black pregnant people are three to four times more likely than white pregnant people to die from pregnancy-related causes, per the CDC.

When Black pregnant people and families can’t feel safe seeking pregnancy and birth-related services from the hospital, and can’t feel safe choosing home births and home care options that draw police attention.

whether good or tragic

Thank you Donald Trump and every Trump supporter out there for proving to the ENTIRE WORLD that America is a fucking joke. This man shouldn’t have ever been able to run and this time he actually won.

Wolverine from X-Men: Evolution was a gay man, or at the very least queer. My evidence is as follows:

No defining/memorable romantic relationships with women AT ALL during the show's run. Jean was a teenager, he was an adult, and - unlike the Ultimate X-Men comics which served as inspiration for this series - these two did not have a romantic relationship nor did they have any romantic tension, the relationship between them instead mirroring a brother/sister one. The same can be said about Logan's other high-profile comics romantic interest, Storm, where their relationship was more like siblings as well rather than anything with romantic undertones.

Y'all I need peak 2016 (but actually good) Avengers Tower fics where they're all living together like the weirdest roommates to ever exist.

Ya feel?

No I do not care what romantic pairings there are, I just need everyone alive. Bonus points if they heavily feature Natasha or if it's from her point of view. I don't mind a bit of angst, but I need the funny.

Thanks!

FUCKING DAMMIT

[themostefficientwaywithwater]

it's so strange to see only spanish people talking about the natural disaster that destroyed valencia, spreading info and sharing fundraisers, while all the international people that i follow goes on with their lives as if nothing happened. when milton was menacing florida, everyone was talking about it and spreading awareness and urging to donate to those affected. even foreign media, including ours. and now i see practically nothing about what's happening in valencia? the only comment from a foreing user i saw was a twitter guy lamenting that "because what's happening in spain we're going to have food shortages :(" as if we were their personal supermarket.

people have died in valencia. people are dying in valencia. people have lost their homes, their families, their source of income. people are killing themselves because they have lost *everything*.

please have some compassion. spain is not just a vacation resort, nor a retirement home, nor a nightclub. is a country, with it's culture, and with it's people. and it's people are suffering.

please, donate what you can. and if you can't, please, please, at least spread the word.

(just as an afterword, but for comparison: hurricane milton killed 17 people in florida. valencia's cold drop has killed so far 217 people, and more than 2000 remain disappeared. think of all the attention milton got, both in america and in foreign media, and now think about how much attention valencia deserves).

Bucky: so what are you saying here, that im messy and difficult to work with too?
