If they want me back they have to go fully Woke 2, sorry. Whole hog. I gotta be able to get an abortion there

30 years.

This video should be on every network.

Doh! Thanks for that. Here’s a good link: www.unpunishpregnancy.com

YES! The purpose of www.unpunishpregnancy.com is to help people get into the *details* of how our bodily autonomy is limited by the state. We can’t organize against what we don’t see and too many people get paid six figures to talk AROUND this shit!

Important insight. ALSO, I have no patience (and I mean ZERO) with people who say "they won't ban birth control." They will eventually try BECAUSE WHAT THEY WANT IS TO CONTROL YOUR BODILY AUTONOMY. We need to be proactive about BODILY AUTONOMY IN GENERAL.

Like most rational and scientific minded people, I take my cues on the healthcare needs of minority groups from the Catholic Church, the Alliance Defending Freedom, and sundry rightwing influencers with a weird fixation on birth rates. I am the New York Times, a serious newspaper.

Framing abortion as "healthcare" or "choice" alone isn't enough anymore. We need to be able to articulate why & how, when someone is grappling with CoL, rent, having enough food for their kids [...]- abortion, LGBTQI & migrant rights are not separate from those struggles. 9/

I live here so I know of the truth you speak.

Texas Medical Students: Abortion Provider’s Canceled Talk Is Dangerous Escalation Texas Tech’s recent capitulation to Turning Point USA isn’t just censorship—it’s a threat to patients’ health.

Today, we have an op-ed from Texas leaders of @msfchoice.bsky.social, who say Texas Tech’s recent decision to cancel a talk by third-trimester abortion provider @doctorshelleysella.bsky.social in response to a Turning Point USA pressure campaign goes beyond censorship:

I ain’t hit no pithy jokes no more.

We gotta start actively knocking these fools out

And we have to learn that
the reason they hate sex education and 230 and cultural studies and gender studies

Is because they don’t want their victims to have options to avoid or report them

Thousands of institutions abandoned programs, ended or rewrote scholarships, closed down clubs and publications, all in pre-emptive compliance.

And you know why?

Mostly because they wanted to do it if they thought they could blame someone else for it.

Does Big Chafing have a lobbyist?

Permission! FROM THESE CLOWNS?! Truly fuck that and I’ll die on this hill apparently.

If our “freedom” to make our own healthcare decisions during pregnancy expires at some point then it’s not freedom. It’s permission.

If it were ME I simply would not cross the library people of New York City in my first budget. Their cause is righteous, their demands entirely reasonable and their advocates the literal best on the planet. Good luck Mamdani! It’s not too late to fix this…

The more of these fascist atrocities I see, the more I become an immigration maximalist. Let everyone in, give everyone work permits/green cards. Make it possible to get citizenship within a few months. Make it as easy as getting a driver's license.

This is beautiful! 🥹💜

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

The reason why Dems are in the mess theyre in is bc they've tried to be Republican-lite since '88. Why get the diet version of fascism?

Aww love that! 💜

Oh I most certainly am and it feels bad!

Do yall know how long The New Republic had an all-white masthead? If not, you should take some time and look it up today. Really interesting stuff.

Women are about to experience a world that insists they only exist to be oppressed if we don't start taking lessons from the past

I will eventually shut up about this but Bad Bunny’s use of the power lines is an outstanding example of how to communicate about climate and energy issues. Not about who is the smartest nerd in the room and spewing numbers but about people’s actual lives. Genius.

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

Can't say it enough, if you are going to build ANYTHING, you are going to be criticized much more than you will be praised. Do not be deterred. Build what you want to exist. Find your people and seek their counsel. Keep it moving.
