Join us for a Women’s History Month conversation on how feminist media challenges power, reframes narratives and drives change, with Elaine Welteroth and Ms.'s @profjch.bsky.social: msmagazine.com/2026/03/03/m...

🗣️ #WPSWednesday: Trump’s new foreign policy sidelines women, withdrawing from key #UN bodies, dismantling #USAID, & weakening bipartisan commitments like #WPS. When women’s rights are undermined, democracy & global security suffer. @msmagazine.com msmagazine.com/2026/02/28/t...

"The space of fertility will humble you instantly—because there is no such thing as working harder. The universe is indifferent toward how much you want something."

As the U.S. turns 250 years old, we're reflecting on who actually built it. Explore FEMINIST 250, an online initiative from Ms. reflecting on the semiquincentennial of US democracy from a feminist perspective—continuing through April 16:

What is the SAVE Act, and how could it affect your right to vote? Ms. has answers:

The first Trump administration’s crackdown on unaccompanied immigrant minors became the blueprint for today’s post-Dobbs attacks on abortion, contraception and bodily autonomy. msmagazine.com/2026/02/05/i...

In 1916, two suffragists drove from New York to California and back to push for the right to vote. Now, the same type of car will make the same trip to promote the Equal Rights Amendment. #MsReads

As the SAVE America Act moves through Congress and outside groups mobilize on both sides, confusion about what the bill would actually require has fueled misinformation and political spin. Here's what you need to know: msmagazine.com/2026/03/02/s...

How the SAVE Act would block women, young people and low-income people from voting, why crowded Illinois primaries call for ranked-choice voting, and more women's representation news:

in which I answer common questions about what the Save AMERICA and how it could affect your right to vote, including: Does a Real ID count? What if I can’t find my passport? And why are Trump and Republicans pushing so hard for this bill? msmagazine.com/2026/03/02/s...

A new documentary explains how the idea of “artificial intelligence,” which started out as an empty marketing term, relies on an understanding of “general intelligence,” which is bound up in the eugenics movement. msmagazine.com/2026/02/12/s...

I'm happy to share with you the new launch of a @msmagazine.com series on "Founding Feminists" that I guest-edited to mark this 250th anniversary year:

As President Donald Trump rewrites U.S. foreign policy and threatens the international order, he is also dismantling long-standing bipartisan commitments to women’s equality.

The SAVE Act is voter suppression. Nearly 90% of women change their last name after marriage. Documentation mismatches means delayed registration, denied registration, or forced extra trips that working people just don’t have time for. msmagazine.com/2026/02/09/s...

More than a year after seeking medical help for a miscarriage, Deann and Charles Bennett, a young couple in Booneville, Ky., have been arrested for alleged “reckless homicide.” This is the War on Women report:

"Around the world, I met survivors trying to rebuild their lives and help rescue others—with little support from people in power, who too often turned a blind eye and a cold shoulder," Clinton told the House Oversight Committee.

"This is entirely by design, of course—pulled straight out of the Project 2025 playbook, which included a recommendation that the federal government not detain unaccompanied children in states where abortion is available."

"Objectification, hate, rape threats: the politicians debating online abuse mean well, but to truly understand, they need to see what I see." #MsReads via @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Under SB 244, which was passed by the Kansas legislature last week and goes into effect today, transgender Kansans are being ordered to surrender their driver's licenses if they do not reflect their sex assigned at birth. “The persecution is the point," said Rep. Abi Boatman.

Rising costs, cuts to basic programs and expiring health subsidies are leaving working- and middle-class Americans feeling poorer, not stronger. msmagazine.com/2026/02/25/s...

Texas antiabortion politicians have made one thing clear: Their ban was never meant to stop at the Texas border.

Research shows abortion is safe across body sizes. But BMI limits at clinics are still pushing some patients into different care and higher costs. #MsReads via @rewirenewsgroup.com rewirenewsgroup.com/2026/02/23/d...

Despite making up less than 2 percent of college students, Division 1 athletes were named as assailants in over 6 percent of Title IX complaints.

Update: In a hearing yesterday, a judge granted GenBioPro’s motion to intervene to defend mifepristone against Louisiana attorney general’s attempt to block access to telehealth abortion nationwide.

A new Kansas law will allow anyone to sue a trans person if they are “aggrieved” from encountering them in a restroom. This “bounty hunter” provision makes bathroom bans even more dangerous for trans and gender-nonconforming people. Keep score with us:

Despite what Trump in his SOTU address, our economy isn’t “roaring” — it’s straining working-class families already struggling to make ends meet. More from @sagewarner.bsky.social in @msmagazine.com: https://tinyurl.com/3semhehv

Just days after clinching a gold-medal victory over Canada, the men’s Olympic hockey team accepted Trump’s invitation and visited the White House to attend his State of the Union address. Only five of the 25 players reportedly did not make the trip.

The closure of TX A&M’s program reflects a broader national trend: mounting restrictions on how gender, race + sexuality can be studied + discussed in public higher ed…The elimination of a long-standing academic program…signals how quickly these shifts can take hold. msmagazine.com/2026/02/24/t...

Rise up, y'all!!! msmagazine.com/2026/02/20/m...

In his State of the Union, Trump boasted about a roaring economy, falling inflation and a richer and stronger nation. But those claims ring hollow for many Americans.

My recent article in @msmagazine.com!

These seven women wrote with urgency, imagination and unflinching truth.

"When women win and are treated as an afterthought, the message reaches classrooms, workplaces and communities alike: You may help carry the nation, but you will not be centered in its story."

As we mark Black History Month, we’re reminded that the story of food insecurity in Mississippi, and across this country, is also a story about structural racism. msmagazine.com/2026/02/22/m...

The elimination of the program, coupled with new and dangerous policies regarding race, gender and sexuality, sets a disturbing precedent and furthers a chilling, anti-education agenda.
