Sadly, I don't think liberals are embarrassed; I think they don't like immigration. Clinton signed both NAFTA and the Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act.

I was honored to see Read This When Things Fall Apart on this end-of-the-year list.

Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.

Sexual and reproductive health & rights are fundamental #humanrights, grounded in international law. Ensuring access to comprehensive #SRHR means protecting the universal rights to: 🧬 Life 🏥 Health 🔒 Privacy 🎓 Education ✊ Freedom from discrimination, violence and torture

So Bari Weiss’s first real editorial intervention at CBS is to repress coverage of American concentration camps.

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

67 Senators could remove RFK Jr. today but there aren’t 67 Senators who care about Americans’ lives, health, or wellbeing. Babies will die. Our leaders hate us.

turning nazism into something that sounds like bland centrism is the culmination of the modern reactionary project

This is a wildly unethical study that would be illegal to conduct in the United States. Have you heard of the Tuskegee experiments (crimes against humanity)? This sounds like that.

This is an important read by a researcher who has investigated the many deceptive and harmful practices of unregulated pregnancy centers in the US. It's astounding what these fake clinics are allowed to get away with.

The cheapest way to deliver healthcare is to provide universal healthcare. This has been demonstrated nearly infinite times; Roger Marshall just isn’t smart. The US spends more on healthcare than any other country in the entire world BECAUSE of privatization (and we have the worst health outcomes!)

MEN: I have an opportunity for you to meaningfully support people who have abortions - buy a copy of THE ABORTION COMPANION: An Affirming Handbook for Your Choice and Your Journey and donate it to your local clinic, free little library, etc. You don’t have to need the book yourself to help someone!

Rise of anti-science rhetoric has fundamentally changed the relationship between doctors and patients And it’s getting worse. From @krutikakuppalli.bsky.social www.statnews.com/2025/12/10/a...

A 5-month-old baby died, & 3 surviving children, ages 2, 4, & 5, had to be hospitalized with rickets, osteopenia, vitamin D deficiency, & significant developmental delays bc their parents put them on “alkaline diets.” Anyone saying alkalization has health benefits is a murderous liar & a charlatan.

This remains one of the most disturbing stories of the year. A 1st trimester fetus incubated in a dead woman's body against the will of her family until a very early term birth when the corpse could no longer sustain life. www.cbsnews.com/atlanta/news...

Hepatitis B infection in infancy (almost half of all HepB is caught in childhood) is associated with a 90% chance of becoming a chronic infection (ie the body can never clear the virus), and is highly likely to progress to liver failure and liver cancer. Vaccinating at birth has reduced this by 99%

It's that giving time of year again, so this is a reminder that no matter how they try to dress it up, the Salvation Army is not a charity.

Republicans are so fixated on restricting abortion that they’re willing to tank your health care to do it. On @ms.now, I highlighted how supporting reproductive freedom is also supporting affordable, accessible health care for everyone. We deserve leaders who put our care first.

I hope if you're shopping today, you stop by a local indie bookstore. Here's my list of my favorite 25 books from this past year, some old, some new, fiction, history, and current events — something for almost anyone on your list (and, of course, yourself!): www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/my-favorit...

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

This is why autocrats and the Project 2025 neofascists hate scientists. Because we are mediators of truth in a society. (h/t @volts.wtf for that phrase.) We can push back on the lies of autocrats and oligarchs. That’s a big reason they’re attacking NIH and NSF. /4

"On moral issues, I'm not taking polls. I'm trying to discern what kind of biblical wisdom I can get as a Christian. The more clear the issue is in my judgement, based on what the Bible says, the stronger my stance is going to be."

Politicians are saying the quiet part out loud. Take this quote from South Carolina State Senator Cash, who truly believes his personal religious beliefs come before the medical needs and pro-choice will of the people he represents:

Here's a groundbreaking report that examines how countries around the world have successfully expanded abortion access and protected reproductive rights. The reports offer U.S.-based policymakers proven strategies to counter restrictions and treat abortion as essential health care.

Too little is known about the enablers. The victims need accountability from those who facilitated and profited.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered. He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here : www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/glo...

It’s finally legal to say “Merry Christmas” again

If you want to see the documentary about @drfeda.bsky.social’s work in Gaza here are the details ❤️

More orgs should do this.

Like I dunno, maybe the reason it took a lady to break open the story of all the men protecting the dude trafficking underage girls is because the male journos were all emailing him making jokes about it?

The new novel "What Friends Are For" sheds light on the history of abortion in Canada. Harriet Zaidman's book is a “nuanced, important, and unfortunately timely novel set in 1983 at the height of Canada’s abortion debate, following a young girl grappling with an unplanned pregnancy.”

"As attacks on abortion intensify across the U.S., lawmakers should use their power to do away with harmful parental involvement laws." Read us and @hrw.org in @theprogressivemag.bsky.social breaking down our new report documenting the impact of these laws: progressive.org/op-eds/abort...

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

It’s #SerotoninSunday 🗳️Election day recap: The people have spoken and they said “ABOBO FOREVER.” Pro-abortion candidates mopped the floor, won big, and reminded the nation that we are the majority and that anti-abortion extremists are just loud, repressed, and losing. bit.ly/3LrcVvm

The nature of policing is to avoid accountability and responsibility. That is how it works, in the past, today, and in the future. (I’m not allowing responses because I don’t want to keep explaining. At this point if you tell me the police need to be more professional, I’ll just tap this.)

Watch @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's inspiring victory speech. This is the future the Democratic Party must embrace. Turn the volume up.

There’s no reason ever again for any Democrat to suggest moderating on trans rights. There was never a moral reason but now there’s no political reason either. Somebody tell Gavin Newsom and Pete Buttigieg. it’s joe-ver.

More of this.

Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter. He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.

If you see any business owners belittling SNAP recipients for accepting government money to get through tough times, maybe look them up on @propublica.org's PPP Loan Tracker to see if they got any of the $793B in bailout money (96% of which was forgiven) projects.propublica.org/coronavirus/...

I learned a lot and I'm proud of my dissertation but it came at a very heavy cost and there are no jobs in academia lol lmao

A new @ifwhenhow.bsky.social & @hrw.org report based on 62 interviews across 6 states reveals how state-mandated parental notification laws effectively give parents or judges “veto power over a young person’s abortion decision,” violating young people's human right to bodily autonomy.

I visited Grand Street Senior Housing on the Lower East Side today and tried a little Bomba y Plena…
