Heartbreakingly, due to escalations in federal interference, I am no longer willing to fly until airports have been appropriately defrosted and restaffed. I am happy to drive within 8hrs of San Diego or offer a discount for coming to me. 🖕🧊 Picture by @MasterScottAce

En la antigua Grecia, las mujeres tenían prohibido estudiar medicina, hasta que alguien rompió la ley. Un día Hagnódica se cortó el pelo y entró en la facultad de medicina de Alejandría vestida de hombre. Mientras caminaba por las calles de Atenas tras completar sus estudios de medicina, oyó los gritos de una mujer de parto. Sin embargo, la mujer no quería que Hagnódica la tocara, a pesar del intenso dolor, porque creía que Hagnódica era un hombre. Hagnódica demostró su identidad femenina desnudándose y ayudando a la mujer a dar a luz. La historia pronto se extendió entre las mujeres, y todas las enfermas comenzaron a acudir a Hagnódica. Los médicos varones, envidiosos, acusaron a Hagnódica, a quien creían hombre, de seducir a sus pacientes En su juicio, Hagnódica compareció ante el tribunal y demostró su identidad femenina, pero esta vez fue condenada a muerte por estudiar y ejercer la medicina siendo mujer. Las mujeres se rebelaron contra la sentencia, especialmente las esposas de los jueces que la habían condenado a muerte. Algunos decían que si Hagnódica moría, morirían con ella. Incapaces de soportar la presión de sus esposas y otras mujeres, los jueces anularon la condena de Hagnódica , y a partir de entonces, las mujeres pudieron ejercer la medicina, siempre y cuando solo atendieran a mujeres. Así, Hagnódica dejó su huella en la historia como la primera médica, ginecóloga y especialista en medicina griega. Esta placa que representa a Hagnódica trabajando fue excavada en Ostia, Italia.

"Circa early 2018, somewhere in the quiet of his beloved Cornville, Arizona ranch, John McCain — living with the knowledge that his days were growing shorter — made a decision that was so perfectly, mischievously, achingly him that it made the whole country smile through their tears when they finally heard about it: he picked up the phone and called Barack Obama, the man who had defeated him for the presidency a decade earlier, and asked him to speak at his funeral. Obama later said that when that call came, he felt 'sadness and also a certain surprise' — and then, with the warmth that defined him, he recognized exactly what McCain was doing, telling mourners at the Washington National Cathedral on September 1, 2018 that the invitation showed McCain's 'irreverence, his sense of humor, a little bit of a mischievous streak' — because, as Obama put it to a cathedral that erupted in laughter through their grief, 'what better way to get a last laugh than to make George and I say nice things about him to a national audience?' It was John McCain's final act of political theater, and it was genius — choosing the two men who had each defeated him for the presidency to stand before the nation and celebrate his life, sending a message louder than any speech he could have given himself: that in America, rivalry and respect are not opposites, that the man you run against can still be the man you trust with your legacy, and that decency is not weakness but the most durable form of strength. Obama stood at that altar and told the packed cathedral that McCain had 'made this country better,' that he had made Obama a better president, and that when all was said and done, despite every disagreement, 'we never doubted the other man's sincerity or the other man's patriotism' — and in the front pew, Cindy McCain wept, because her husband had arranged, from the very edge of his life, one last beautiful lesson in what it means to be an American.

Over a million acres of pristine wilderness lakes in Minnesota. The most visited canoe country in America. Generations of families have paddled it, fished it, camped it. The Senate just sold it out outright. They called it "America First." Then handed it to a Chilean billionaire — so his company can ship the copper to China. The Senate voted 50-49 to gut 20 years of Boundary Waters mining protections. Here's the deal they made. A Chilean billionaire's company digs the mine. America can't smelt the copper — we don't have the capacity. So the ore ships to China. China processes it. Sells it on the world market. Chile keeps the profits. Minnesotans don't even get the jobs. Minnesota keeps the pollution. And Americans get to buy it back from China at full market price. This same company has a documented history at their Chilean mines: pipeline spills, regulatory fines, and locals fighting back for years. They paid a former Trump Interior Secretary $380K. The protection died by one vote. Here's exactly how it happened — and who made it happen. Who do YOU think this mine actually serves? #DemsUnited

Most Americans don’t realize these words are in the Declaration of Independence: “That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government.” We have the right to abolish a destructive government, and it is past time that we do it. There is no government on earth that is more destructive than the US government. Both parties have spent decades using our government to enrich themselves and their corporate donors at our expense. They turned our government into a money laundering operation for corporations, billionaires, Israel, and the war machine, and the result has been worse than destructive; it has been catastrophic for the people at home and abroad. There is not a single thing our government does well for the people because its entire purpose is to serve the rich. The United States was founded on a revolution, and if it is to survive, we are going to need another one; only this time a proletarian one.

Don't mind all the bruises from moving 😅😅 Thank Gods I found time to sneak away with one of my favourite people. Our sexy shenangians were the escape from chaos I needed. Keep me in your thoughts. I have to get this whole house packed into storage by the 31st 😅😅

Stephen Colbert aired his final show last night after Paramount fired him to appease Trump. The Ellisons are now eyeing Warner Bros — and Trump's eager to give it to them. His media takeover is happening in broad daylight. Here's what we can do about it.

Martha Stewart went to prison for saving herself $45,673 using an illegal stock tip. Donald Trump traded stocks 3,700 times between Jan—Mar of this year, totaling between $220–$750 million, and used the presidency to make his stocks go up… And he’s walking around a free man.

We deserve better.

This is Officer Caroline Edwards. She was attacked by the insurrectionists on January 6th. They cracked her heac open, resulting in a permanent brain injury. For all those who support Trump's pardons and say you "back the blue". You don't. You support fascism.

Leigh McGowan will chew you up and spit you out. Some people show up with slogans. She shows up with facts, numbers, and the confidence to dismantle bad arguments in real time. That clip is what happens when performative patriotism collides with actual priorities.

The Bishop is never wrong

Fun fact: It is typically illegal to sell a puppy younger than 8 weeks old because it’s considered cruel to separate it from its mother, but unfortunately corporate America expects women to return to work 4 weeks after giving birth.

Make adult industry awards shows irrelevant 2026 ❤️❤️❤️

Here's how the corruption works: Thursday: RJ Reynolds donates $5M to Trump Saturday: Trump invites RJR execs to Mar a Lago; execs ask to loosen regs on flavored vapes; Trump calls up RFK Jr. and tells him to change it Friday: FDA changes the policy #donation-big-tobacco-vaping" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">nytimes.com/live/2026/05/2…

Keep posting this so people don’t forget how truly bad this event was. Don’t let people gaslight you into thinking it was peaceful and worthy of 1500+ pardons and slush fund payoffs.

I respect everyone’s hustle. But. I’m gonna leave this here. You don’t have to agree. IYKYK. Being a porn star was an ERA. Box covers, magazine covers/spreads, contracts, awards, DVD’s in stores. You actually had to build a name before social media spoon fed attention. What y’all are doing now including myself is content creating. And there’s nothing wrong with that. It’s a NEW ERA but stop acting like it’s the same road. Respect the women and men who paved it before you ever knew the GPS route existed. 🤠 💰 🦕

SICKENING: AOC Just showed off the Georgia drinking water from Meta's AI Data Centers. Thank you @AOC: "This is the current drinking water in Morgan County, Georgia. Right after a data center was constructed, the metadata center was constructed, the only difference between the clean water and this was that data center. I have another one as well. So this wasn't just one well, these wasn't just one family's situation. This is what the drinking water now looks like next to that data center. And I think both of us can agree that neither one of these things are drinkable. These families now have to ship, in a rural area, have to ship water to their house in order to cook and bathe themselves."

They loved Marjorie Taylor Greene, now they hate her. They loved Thomas Massie, now they hate him. They loved Lauren Boebert, now they hate her. They made fun of Biden for nodding off ("Sleepy Joe), now they ignore Trump outright falling asleep. They put "I Did That" Biden stickers on high gas prices, now they ignore gas prices being even higher. They bragged about Trump being the no wars President, now they support war. They bashed Biden for sending money to Ukraine, now they ignore Trump sending money to both Ukraine and Israel. They demanded the Epstein files, now they bash anyone asking for the Epstein files. To be a MAGA is to be a slave. Not physically, but mentally. They stand for nothing. We're up against people who stand for nothing. And with the most misplaced confidence you've ever seen, they try to tell us whats-what. We shouldn't even acknowledge these people. The Trump supporters that remain are mentally too far gone. I don't even want to argue with them anymore.

99 years is the amount of prison time a doctor in Alabama will receive if they perform an abortion. 6 months is the amount of prison time you will receive if you rape an unconscious girl next to a dumpster. Wake up.

Farmers have figured out that the cheapest pesticide is a strip of flowers. When you plant wildflowers through a crop field, not just around the edge but in strips running through the middle, you get ladybugs, lacewings, hoverflies, and parasitic wasps living in the field instead of visiting it. They eat the aphids, the caterpillars, and the mites for free, all summer long. In controlled trials, fields with tailored flower strips had leaf-beetle numbers 40 to 50% lower and crop damage cut by around 60%, enough to drop below the threshold where spraying was even considered worth it. The flowers attract a standing army to our fields. We spent decades engineering chemicals to kill the insects eating the crop, when the insects that eat those insects would have worked for the price of seed.
