Great thread from @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social in the replies here.

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.

Re-posting in honor of #InternationalWomensDay

As we in America look for ways to defend our democracy under threat, we can draw inspiration from the resistance of young women in China. Text of my recent speech to the Jimmy Carter Forum on US-China Relations uscnpm.org/analysis/wom...

Reuters Exclusive "U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school." "The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the ​Middle East."

Remember this when Donald Trump tells you we can’t afford health care.

AOC: We already have multiple American service members who are dead for an illegal action that the president has pursued with no plan out. They don’t know why they got into this war. They’re talking about a hundred different reasons, and they don’t know how they’re getting out.

i still find it absolutely fucking incredible that Marco Rubio has a imagined version of Chiang Kai-Shek that he's turned into a ancestor spirit for the GOP

For my debut at @flaminghydra.com, which I have just joined, I wrote about the utter weirdness of finding out your dentist was in the Epstein Files. flaminghydra.com/issue-514/

There has never been an official, comprehensive record of Black-owned bookstores across the United States — until now

American publishing regularly punishes women in their 50s by simply not interviewing them for new jobs in the way @saribotton.bsky.social describes here. So it’s great revenge that she launched Oldster magazine on her own, now with 70k subscribers.

One of the more horrifying reports I’ve read about Epstein

there is no lie here, but you really don't have to hand it to the country that are literally building artificial islands down the South China Sea to claim territory and *checks note* right, build military bases on them.

I’m glad that she says that even if Trump had gotten the okay from Congress, there’s still no justification for this war. I haven’t seen enough folks make that point. There’s literally no reason that’s legit for Trump to be doing this.

’Tis the time’s plague, when madmen lead the blind.

There's an emergency "Stop the War in Iran" protest kicking off in NYC at 2 pm at Times Square. www.answercoalition.org/iran/ - I'm going to head out. I've also included the list of other protests across the country.

Six days ago:

The first deaths announced from the US-Israeli strikes on Iran: dozens of school girls. They hit an elementary school in Hormozgan.

We had a deal with Iran to ensure limits on its nuclear capacities. Trump ended that deal. Now he says that sending our young people off to fight and potentially lose their lives for this country is just a ‘cost of war.’ This is the cost of his broken promises. No war with Iran.

illegal use of force by every measure, domestic & international

When academia's stars mistreat people, they're "punished" with relief from teaching, mentoring, and service responsibilities. This frees them to spend more time on the more valued work of research. And dumps less valued responsibilities onto colleagues, making it harder for them to become stars.

Musk wanted Twitter to be WeChat so bad

It is completely reasonable to email your dean and/or Provost to ask what is being done at your university to stop this from happening to your students

Evil.

China’s strongman authoritarian playbook is of course admired by Trump and the far right. White nationalists express alarm about “low birth rates” causing the “collapse of civilization”. The Heritage Foundation just published a pronatalist report remarkably similar to Chinese government propaganda

BREAKING: Protests have erupted at Columbia University after the school says DHS agents detained a student after making "misrepresentations to gain entry" to building.

Columbia student detained today is a day-in-the-life influencer with 100K followers. Her stories right now go from her studying for a Genetics exam in a nicely edited "ten hour study with me at Columbia" video, to a photo of her knees with the caption "dhs illegally arrested me please help"

Pronatalist scaremongering is not confined to the far right. NPR recently ran a story with the headline, “As birthrates tumble, some progressives say the left needs to offer ideas” & quoting self-identified “progressives” who argue that falling birthrates are a “crisis”. uscnpm.org/analysis/wom...

BREAKING: Columbia President Claire Shipman says DHS agents entered a residential buliding this morning and detained a student. "Our understanding at this time is that the federal agents made misrepresentations to gain entry to the building to search for a 'missing person.'"

The Feminist Awakening in China

Seriously though, recording this episode moved me. Go listen/watch!

My mother, Beverly Hong Fincher, took me with her on my first trip to Beijing when I was three years old. After Kissinger’s secret talks with Zhou Enlai in 1971, my mother moved heaven and earth to bring me to China with her amid the turbulence of the Cultural Revolution. uscnpm.org/analysis/wom...

An NPR investigation finds the public database of Epstein files is missing dozens of pages related to sexual abuse accusations against President Trump. n.pr/4qTItsU

I can say from personal experience that Putin is threatened by strong women. As I argue in a new piece in @foreignaffairs.com, he and his fellow autocrats have reason to fear us: Defending women's rights and combating authoritarianism is the same fight. www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state...

We should view "even the British monarchy are better at holding their elites to account for their crimes than the US is right now" not as proof that we're doomed - but as an inspiring challenge to do an even BETTER job of purging our loathsome murdering-rapist tech CEO and MAGA class.
