NOW: Abortion opponents in Congress are holding a hearing on medication abortion.

Keep in mind, these folks are flailing.

Okay, I will preface this with the GIGANTIC disclaimer that I promise I know how this looks, and I *swear* this is not personally motivated: If you have an old #LiveJournal account, and it has things you still care about in it, download it or import it to Dreamwidth SOON. Details:

Mutual aid groups, food banks, etc are about to be under even more pressure in the US.

Post your local one's donation link here, and if you're seeing this, and you can spare a few bucks, pick one two to give to.

i have never been a "call your senator" type of activist, if I'm being honest. But it would mean a lot to me personally if you helped put pressure on US lawmakers to help their constituents that are in Israeli captivity as part of the aid flotilla.

Happy to say that I attended a 2 hour subcommittee, another 2 hour general meeting, and changed some minds. Ends up there were only a few strong reluctant voices- the rest were actually excited about the idea!

Don't let a few prudes ruin your chances to make that good trouble against fascist.

Here are the facts:

Bluesky violated their own Terms of Service because they panicked and saw Nazis on twitter getting angry.

They took marching orders from the Nazis and helped them target BIPOC and trans users on their website.

Did you used to make LiveJournal icons? Do you still have some of the ones that you made? I'm looking to include more icons in the second print run of my LiveJournal Iconic zine and would love to see yours!
