What

You’re simply not getting coverage/context like what we provide at @autonomynews.co This story mentions *Josh and Erin Hawley *Alliance Defending Freedom *Project 2025 *antis fighting over FDA chief Makary AND it has a scoop about what happened in the three days the telehealth ban was in effect

I want to highlight this detail from our story: We at @autonomynews.co are first to report that, when the Fifth Circuit's decision was briefly in effect earlier this month, abortion providers in some states were advised not to even prescribe mifepristone in person.

Alas, by an apparent 6–3 vote, the Supreme Court also clears the way for Texas to execute an intellectually disabled man in violation of the 8th Amendment. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

Thank God, but the betting pool on when they finally resurrect Comstock is still very live (& would have massive implications for contraception, anything LGBTQIA, anything related to sex or sex ed, and much more) If you’re wondering why else your work to intervene on *waves hands* all this matter

BREAKING: the Supreme Court finally blocked a lower court's ban on telemedicine prescriptions of abortion drug mifepristone from taking effect, pending full hearing/ruling in Fifth Circuit. Dissents from Alito and Thomas, who claims that the dormant Comstock Act of 1873 bans mailing of mifepristone

Unless and until we hear otherwise, Justice Alito just let a nationwide telemedicine ban on mifepristone take effect via the shadow docket. follow @autonomynews.co to stay up to date

BREAKING: It’s now past 5pm ET and no word from the Supreme Court. This means the 5th Circuit’s ruling restricting telehealth prescriptions of mifepristone is now in effect. However the Supreme Court could act and change this at any time.

On Monday, Alito extended his pause an hour and 20 minutes before the deadline. We now have 2 minutes until Fifth Circuit ruling takes effect nationwide

*taps earpiece* we have ascertained the coordinates of the sunbeam

Harris also said “Let’s invite a discussion about how do we push for statehood for Puerto Rico and D.C.; how are we thinking about the Electoral College.” Ofc these things should have happened already but good for a really well-known figure to put them on the wall

I'm doubtful she can get the nomination -- second chances are rare in presidential nominations these days, Trump excepted. But she's currently the front runner in polls and anything she can do to force the presidential field to follow her on this vital issue is real leadership.

The Watertown, Wisconsin school board voted 7-1 to ban students from playing a orchestral piece honoring Marsha P Johnson. This is a blatant attack on the first amendment. www.tmj4.com/news/dodge-c...

New from me today: Lawmakers and advocates say menopause used to be taboo, but there has been a generational shift in recent years that has led to more legislation in statehouses nationwide, providing more access to treatments as well as more educational opportunities for healthcare providers.

Don't cross the REI picket line May 15-25!

After Alito pushed back his own deadline, we are now awaiting an order in this abortion pill case by 5pm ET *today*. That is, if he doesn't extend again like he did in the 2023 mifepristone case

Irish media reports that a New York abortion provider who's being targeted by Louisiana for prescribing mifepristone across state lines has registered as a doctor in Ireland and may be living there. Louisiana is also suing the FDA for allowing telemedicine Rx More www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

If you’re not following Garnet on TikTok, fix that asap www.tiktok.com/@garnethende...

It's true; my (briefly banned) TikTok about moms.gov has 25k views & counting. That's not even much for TikTok! But it's way more views compared to anything I post on here. I hate having to ALSO make video content on top of all the other work that goes into my reporting, but it is what it is.

Anti abortion groups have loudly called for FDA Commissioner Marty Makary’s head but in the end he’s gone for a much dumber reason: because he wouldn’t approve flavored vapes to appease Trump’s “tobacco guys”

ProPublica’s board must hold management accountable and ensure that journalists and business side staff have a fair contract. Tell @propublica.org’s Board Chair Paul Sagan that you stand with our union: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

“A settlement payment even a fraction of the size of Mr. Trump’s requested $10 billion could be much larger than his other attempts at private gain, potentially doubling his net worth.” Everybody who signs off on this goes to jail, should be a campaign promise. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/12/b...

This would constitute one of the most brazen, most appalling acts of corruption in U.S. history. I know we’re numb to all of this but this is a seven-alarm fire. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/12/b...

I encourage states to review the text of Fuck You v. Make Me

Oooooh, Department of Justice’s Office of Legal Counsel. So not just the clowns, the ELITE clowns.

Note that this NYT story revealing Iran has used the ceasefire to reaccess its missiles includes Maggie and Swan on the byline, suggesting that senior political people--not just the NatSec sources who'd tell Adam Entous--want this story out. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/12/u...

Giving it a name like this should certainly make everyone involved easier to prosecute come 2029

On the poisoned media system, see: Elon buying Twitter, Bezos gutting WaPo, Ellisons buying CBS...

Georgia's governor signs a comically transparent law. It makes local elections in 5 big blue counties nonpartisan, to give GOP candidates a chance to win without a party label in places like Atlanta. And it doesn't change anything in the rest of the state, for red counties to know who's GOP.

Kinda weird no one's calling this World War Trump. He's just exploding shit all throughout the world with no care for second order effects. It really is just him vs. everybody, and you'll only be spared if you seed intimidating shirtless AI pictures of your own country's dictator onto TruthSocial.

You can tell that Trump is getting more and more panicked about the midterms and starting to vacillate wildly towards anything he thinks will save him bc he's randomly come back to trying to fearmonger about trans ppl. Wont work when gas is about $4.60/gallon & rising, asshole!

Trans rights are human rights. Feel free to send your bitch army to my house.

So instead of 18 cents of every gallon going to fund building and maintaining infrastructure, including public transit, zero of it will go to those things. Plus any increase in gas prices that results goes 100% to oil companies.

"One study found that increasing the number of people who receive SNAP benefits by 5 percent could have prevented nearly 32,000 suicides over 15 years. And a $1 increase in minimum wage has been linked to roughly 8,000 fewer suicide deaths over a decade."

southern state governments are banning black congressional representation and installing statues of men who waged a war to continue the enslavement of black people in public parks
