They are arresting U.S. Air Force Officers for free speech and U.S. Olympians for curiosity—but not rich men for raping children with Jeffrey Epstein.

The massive and well-funded push toward AI adoption has numerous historic parallels: to cite just one, the push to hook the British working classes on tea and sugar during the Industrial Revolution. Then, as now, markets rely on cultural domination. botpopuli.net/resisting-th...

The US government has targeted thousands of parents for deportation since Donald Trump took office in January 2025. A Guardian analysis of government records has found that, during the first seven months of his presidency, the administration arrested the parents of at least 27,000 children. 🧵

This is exactly why language matters: “women were given the vote” frames equality as a gift from men, instead of hard won political power extracted through organized resistance. Nobody gave women anything. Women fought, marched, strategized, endured violence, went to prison and died for it.

This was a hard story to report. Newborns who don’t get a vitamin K shot are 81 times more likely to develop a condition where they bleed uncontrollably. But more and more families are declining the shot. And babies are dying. www.propublica.org/article/more...

We all need to understand this is a feature not a bug. Nonconsensual sexual material proliferates online while women talking to women are censored. #groomercapitalism

"The American political conversation has moved on from abortion," writes @moiradonegan.bsky.social. "But the state-by-state patchwork of women’s rights remains an untenable reality, and the ferocity of the anti-choice movement’s misogyny has not been abated."

With thousands of other human rights activists I had planned to attend @rightscon.org this week. The Zambian government, under pressure from the Chinese government, censored the conference. Read the statement 👇 www.rightscon.org/rc26-stateme...

AI is being deployed in classrooms at scale without evidence of the developmental impact, writes Ryan Lee. This isn’t a policy gap—it’s a policy vacuum being filled by whichever edtech vendor reaches the procurement desk first.

180,000 children will go hungry in Arizona. Because the ultra-wealthy need more tax cuts. @propublica.org

The famous Andor line is that "tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle." Here is a perfect example of that through malicious compliance: Idaho forced the city of Boise to remove its Pride flags. So the city painted rainbows everywhere else.

Proud to have signed this and grateful to Amnesty USA &MANY in the #humanrights community for mobilizing quickly to ensure any threat of genocide is met with mass demand for accountability.

Great analysis here from @theguardian.com @jonathanfreedland.bsky.social - tech, including AI, is designed by men and reflects the choices they make. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The Mothership couldn’t have had a more appropriate guest this #WomensHistoryMonth than Latanya Mapp, who takes her experiences with courageous women around the world and shows us all what we can learn from them and apply to our own activism. #femisphere open.substack.com/pub/themothe...

In the wake of a New York Times investigation detailing allegations of sexual abuse by labor leader Cesar Chavez—including testimony from Dolores Huerta—a chorus of feminist leaders, organizers and advocates are rallying around Huerta.

An immigration judge has ordered the removal of Liam Consejo Ramos, a Minnesota toddler who was detained by ICE. The politics of citizenship might seem like the detail that distinguishes Liam’s story from the stories of our kids. But his innocence, like the innocence of all kids, is unimpeachable.

People are leaving or avoiding living in states with abortion bans, a new paper shows — resulting in lower rental prices and higher vacancies than in states that protect reproductive rights.

I don’t think people who aren’t regularly covering the reproductive rights beat realize how common it is for women to be incarcerated for miscarriages.

We know. Reproductive justice is the alternative to #femicide #NiUnaMenos @hrw.org www.hrw.org/news/2026/03...

This #IWD2026 I wrote about my recent trip to Mexico. While I was in Mexico City, ICE killed Renee Good, a mother seeking to protect her child’s school. Creating safe and caring community spaces is a policy choice. Terrorizing and destroying them is also a policy choice. medium.com/@bamaathreya...

What does it mean to commemorate Women's History Month in the face of the destruction of our data and the silencing of our voices? We continue to share our truths. #genderequality #femisphere open.substack.com/pub/themothe...

I love this. Women have used textiles to share our truths and our stories for millenia. #femisphere

Oh. My. God. this chart.

The trove of files released by the Department of Justice, illuminates Epstein’s deep interest and entrenchment in the scientific community. But the files also underscore how he used his power and money in ways that kept women out of places where they might succeed. https://bit.ly/4qWgPLz

We need to understand that impunity doesn't just leave past survivors struggling for justice. It means these men are free in future to continue the rape, the trafficking, the violence. #EpsteinFiles www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Raising children tends to lead to lower wages and fewer work hours for mothers—but not fathers—in the United States and around the world. Can government programs that provide financial support to parents offset the motherhood penalty in earnings?

Read the thread. It's not too late to act and protect our children.
