These people are too visibly stupid to figure this out but having parents, grandparents, teachers, and caretakers die from COVID hurt kids a lot more than remote learning did. And you clearly don’t need an education to get whatever job these losers have?

We do not need a Surgeon General who hawks supplements on the internet, spreads lies about vaccines and blames you for any health problems you may have as your personal responsibility. Tell your Senators #NOonSapier. Another bad choice for America. actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

it's worth reflecting on the crisis in Lowndes County, Alabama, in light of the Supreme Court eviscerating the Voting Rights Act Black residents wouldn't be forced to live in filth if they had political influence and a government that responded to their needs ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

73% of mothers with kids under 18 are in the workforce. More than flowers or brunch, working moms need: -Paid family leave -Equal pay -Universal childcare -Universal healthcare (But get your mom flowers, too)

Moms deserve more than symbolic appreciation once a year—they deserve real policy change 💗🌸

NEW: Hours after ProPublica reported on how a federal probe of a drugs-for-votes scheme in Puerto Rico's prisons got quashed after the 2024 elections, some of the territory’s political leaders made public calls for investigations into the allegations.

“Quieter methods of removal will look more like ordinary criminalization, which many people in the U.S. are conditioned to ignore. This moment is a test for our movements. Can we recognize criminalization as the primary means of human disposal under fascism and organize accordingly?”

horrible. this country’s turn away from science based medicine in the name of “wellness” is killing children and will kill a lot more. www.propublica.org/article/more...

Please God let us get justices who actually look at things like "who was paid by whom for what" "who was 'praying' with which lobbyists right before which decisions were rendered" "which calls to the FBI tip line were ignored during the confirmation hearings of which rapist" and just reboot

The world currently faces a shortage of up to a million midwives – which is concentrated in the countries and communities where maternal and newborn mortality is highest. A major cause of maternal death is unsafe abortion and midwives can help provide safe abortion.

SPREAD THE WORD. Can we get to 1000 letters? Nicole Saphier lies about vaccines, hawks supplements on the internet and tells you that your health is your "personal responsibility" (get sick: it's your fault). Write to your senators now and oppose this nomination. actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

Here’s what to know about using misoprostol off-label for a medication abortion. Not medical advice, but information the The Cut gathered from Dr. Daniel Grossman, a practicing clinician and abortion researcher, and other expert sources.

Late last year, a Kentucky woman was arrested for allegedly ordering abortion pills online. Family planning decisions are particularly complex in Appalachia, where people face restrictive abortion bans and widespread stigma. This story is a collaboration with our partners at @us.theconversation.com.

We’re heading to Morehouse School of Medicine on May 22-23 for a first-of-its-kind training with @nacdl.org. We're bringing defense attorneys and clinicians together to navigate the rise in criminalization of pregnancy outcomes and protect patients in Georgia. RSVP: tinyurl.com/NACDLGATraining

A detail I didn’t know: “The Herald entered the Epstein series for a Pulitzer Prize that year, but it was not a finalist. Alan Dershowitz … who helped broker Epstein’s original deal, wrote a letter to the Pulitzer committee that year, urging them not to honor Brown’s work.” share.inquirer.com/THMiUZ

Here we go again. Saphier lies about vaccines, hawks supplements on the internet and tells you that your health is your "personal responsibility" (get sick: it's your fault). Write to your senators now and oppose this nomination. actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

Some people said Don't Look Up was too on the nose and yet, well, here we are.

This story adopts, entirely uncritically, Kennedy’s framing for this effort, including his apparent claim that getting off SSRIs is harder than quitting heroin.

I specialize in drug toxicity & addiction. You can’t get addicted to SSRIs. Some people feel uncomfortable if they quit high doses cold turkey, which isn’t recommended. It’s journalistic malpractice to present these conspiracy lies without clarifying they are untrue, completely ignorant, & dangerous

From Dangerous Minds on FB Art seen outside the Met Gala calls out Jeff Bezos for Amazon workers allegedly - doing a lot of lifting there🤨 - having to urinate in bottles during shifts because they aren't given adequate time for toilet breaks.

Hey, @mirandayaver.bsky.social , look what I'm reading!

This is what Marco Rubio decided to do with his life: "AIDS Creeps Back in Parts of Zambia, a Year After U.S. Cuts to HIV Assistance: A once-robust HIV treatment and prevention system, credited with saving hundreds of thousands of lives, has begun to crumble..." www.nytimes.com/2026/04/25/h...

This is emblematic of the naval-gazing bullshit we're getting from some media types around this event. Cheryl Hines is fine. The people being killed by her husband's policies and lies won't be. Nothing much happened to the people in that banquet hall, but they were all so shocked and changed by it.

This week on the #FeministBuzzkills pod, we've got the amazing Tara Murtha from Womens Law Project dropping truth bombs. We're diving into how Pennsylvania turned the tables on fake clinics – from Ground Zero to Defund Hero! Listen up wherever you pod! 🎧✨ https://youtube.com/shorts/cVy2C7q2wfo

My book BEYOND BELIEF is out today! It says: in a world flooded with questionable claims and misinformation, evidence from science can help show what’s nonsense – and what’s not. In other words: "Essential reading for the rational-minded". Please repost! 1/🧵 @princetonupress.bsky.social

This wonderful, incredibly smart woman. 🏆❤️

Trump's latest death penalty push is obviously grotesque & makes me all the more grateful that Biden commuted most of the federal row. But just once I'd love to see Dems directly grapple with THEIR party's role expanding the federal death penalty--enabling Trump's killing spree--in the first place.

I warned that Paragon Health Institute would weaponize the DOGE Medicaid data release. Yesterday they published a brief targeting HCBS, autism services, medical transportation, and addiction treatment, core services disabled people rely on, as inherently fraudulent. www.patreon.com/posts/151112...

The fact that the US Secretary of Health denies that pathogens cause disease should always be a much bigger story

Gratitude to @chiosse.bsky.social and the group of organizers for this. Deed theft steals what little generational wealth some folks have managed. It contributes to housing insecurity in an already unaffordable city.

When someone is arrested for an abortion or pregnancy loss, they face a legal twister that can wreak havoc on their life. The system is designed to do this. But today, we released a new resource to put more people-power into disrupting the cycle: ifwhenhow.org/news/abortio...

So pro-life means jailing women who miscarry but shrugging when the deranged president says “a whole civilization will die tonight.” Do I have that right?

Pregnancy loss is already devastating. Black women deserve dignity in these moments—not criminalization. For #BMHW26, we’re highlighting the law we helped pass with prochoicewa.bsky.social and @legalvoice.org that protects anyone against the criminalization of a pregnancy outcome 🖤

Mississippi's governor has signed HB 1613, a law that criminalizes abortion medication to restrict access and target providers and helpers. It goes into effect July 1. Call our Helpline to know your rights and get free legal help: 844-868-2812 Support ARC-Southeast and @yellowfund.bsky.social.

Now, Michigan joins states like Washington and Colorado that have taken action to repeal these laws. We have previously successfully challenged Idaho’s Pregnancy Exclusions and are currently challenging Kansas’s Pregnancy Exclusion. With two wins under our belt, we’re not stopping now!

Because of this court’s ruling, and the incredible advocacy of Michiganders, all people in Michigan will have full control over one of the most important and deeply-personal decisions they can make. More than 30 states have advanced directive laws including a pregnancy exclusion on the books.

HUGE NEWS: We just won our lawsuit! Last October, we teamed up with @compandchoices.bsky.social to file a lawsuit arguing that Michigan’s Pregnancy Exclusion law violated Michiganders’ constitutional rights. Last week, the court agreed with us! Read all about it: tinyurl.com/MILawsuitWin

We WON our challenge to Pennsylvania's ban on Medicaid coverage of abortion!

TOMORROW: Join us for Episode III of SisterLove’s Know Your Rights: You Deserve Care Without Fear series: bit.ly/SLI_JLPP We’re partnering with their legal advocacy arm, ARC-Southeast, and Emilie Cook, Esq. of @emorylaw.bsky.social, to present a legal webinar on how pregnancy is policed in Georgia.

Anti-abortion legal strategies in the US often depend on abusive partners or shoddy "investigations."

reposting for awareness (sincerely)

This is the same logic Stephen Miller used to make it harder for immigrants to enter the US. It is the same logic that populists have always used to demonize immigrants. And in RFK Jr's case, he is using it to cover up his own failures. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

Pennsylvania's appellate court confirmed that access to abortion is a fundamental right under the Pennsylvania Constitution. This decision is a win for all Pennsylvanians. The government shouldn't be making your healthcare decisions - you should. www.inquirer.com/news/pennsyl...

I have to admit I was already aged out of watching SpongeBob SquarePants when this episode originally aired. But my younger colleagues told me to watch this clip.

There’s no routine screening for pancreatic cancer, most cases aren’t operable, and the five year survival rate after diagnosis is around 13%. It’s a traumatic news. But new personalized mRNA immunotherapy is showing encouraging results in Phase 1 clinical trials. Keep funding science!

I’m glad to see they’re still letting Jodi Kantor do her job, at least
