Doctors say abortion restrictions have left many Texas women terrified that pregnancy complications could become life-threatening. “I don’t want to die, please don’t let me die.” That is a plea that no doctor in Texas ever wants to hear from their pregnant patient. msmagazine.com/2026/07/15/d...

A statement from WIRED leadership.

Read our story from July 9 about how an MSG database tracked and categorized hundreds of celebs, famous Knicks superfans, and even some of Taylor Swift’s wedding guests. Labels included “LGBTQIA,” “DO NOT HOST,” and low to high “risk.”

In April, we published our first story about the surveillance machine at Madison Square Garden—an operation that allegedly tracked a trans woman, lawyers, protesters, and more. Read that here:

Hey friends, Don't forget Fox News paid nearly a billion dollars for the lies they aired again tonight.

"Bolsonaro has begun a twenty-seven-year prison sentence for his role in January 8, while the instigator of January 6 sits in the Oval Office...Should we in the United States try a Brazilian strategy?" spoiler: I answer yes. me, for @bostonreview.bsky.social www.bostonreview.net/articles/tru...

This Administration is engaged in the largest criminal cover-up in American history.   Todd Blanche cannot serve as AG. Full stop.

AOC: This is an inhaler pump. Can you guess what the great innovation was that made it worth preventing this from going generic? It’s this little plastic piece right here. That was a major part of the new patent they filed to extend exclusivity and prevent this life-saving drug from going generic.

Todd Blanche is the worst Attorney General nominee in my lifetime. He’s under investigation by the Bar Association. This confirmation hearing isn’t bearing that out.

Here's my Lindsey Graham obit. While most people are focused on his late career villian arc, I will never get over his sneering, hysterical defense of an alleged attempted rapist. My latest in @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Rooting for Dr. Thrasher. Take them to the cleaners!

What does a PhD in American Studies get you? The ability to co-author and edit (with my amazing lawyers) a 158 point lawsuit about the egegious constituonal violations which my colleagues and I have endured drive.google.com/file/d/1VlH9...

New York has become the first US state to enforce a data center moratorium, as governor Kathy Hochul signed an executive order today to pause construction for one year.

Gonna go out on a limb and say it's a bad sign that an anti-abortion group is "endorsing" Todd Blanche to be Attorney General

AOC: I said this a couple of weeks ago: I would not be surprised if, when ICE funding started up again, we would start to see more civilian deaths at the hands of ICE. And that’s exactly what has happened. We didn’t see things like this happening with the same degree when we froze ICE funding.

Todd Blanche is a dangerous, lawless Trump sycophant. Call your Senator today and tell them to REJECT his nomination for Attorney General. (202) 224-3121

ICE is not about immigration. ICE is about normalizing a paramilitary force on peaceful streets. Abolish ICE.

On My Mama!

@ositanwanevu.com on the Platner campaign: “an approach to electoral politics built around the idea that progressives will come to power once they’ve caught enough lightning in a bottle. They won’t. Instead, the left is going to have to build power in America brick by carefully laid brick.”

I don't want my taxes to support "vouchers" for private schools.

“Patriarchy gives us different expectations ... I mean, does anyone think a woman with no political experience, tattoos and a history of alcohol abuse who said dumb things on the internet could raise millions of dollars and become a major party candidate?" www.pressherald.com/2026/07/12/p...

Michael Fanone's take on Lindsey Graham is one of the most powerful I've read:

Mamdani got into office and instantly: • Froze rent for 2 million New Yorkers • Cut subway fares in half for low-income riders • Fully funded NYC parks • Added $680M for public schools • Launched free child care for 2-year-olds If establishment politicians actually wanted to help you, they could.

Exactly.

There are organizations that could offer many $150,000 fellowships that could support independent researchers to continue their work and get healthcare and they mostly do this on the Right.

Five facts that you should know about the current Cyclospora outbreak.

thread. Big day. Final part of the reparations law broke ground today. Congratulations to everyone involved. Calling out my friend Joey Mogul in particular today because Joey has spent DECADES supporting Burge police torture survivors, authored the law, and stayed the course to get this Memorial!

NEW: New York’s state constitution makes an unusual promise to residents: to provide care and support for the needy. But a recent lawsuit accuses it of failing to meet that mandate by putting low-income households on the brink of homelessness. with @nysfocus.com

@natasharoy.bsky.social is rewatching Gilmore Girls—and she thinks you should too. Not just because it's the perfect cozy comfort watch, but because it's actually a story about reproductive justice. Here are five episodes to start with:

No one should have to learn their dad was killed by state forces on Facebook. ICE wields unchecked power to violently and brutally rip apart families and destroy lives. Our system is built to do this. And that means it cannot continue. Repro justice demands that we #AbolishICE.

Hi. So your boy needs a kidney & I’m officially on the #transplant list. Please share this as it would mean a lot to me to get a living donor.

A two party system where both parties believe - one in public, sneering, the other in private, whispering - that women are unelectable, is a system where the proud rapists will keep winning and the moralistic misogynists will keep losing. P.S. that doesn’t mean vote for the rapists.

Our team recently found that most abortion patients were able to accurately determine their eligibility for medication abortion using an over-the-counter packaging prototype, a strong indicator of the feasibility of over-the-counter medication abortion in the future!

Well, this is alarming.

“They have heard stories that would break anyone’s heart & move anyone... to rapid action... for four years in these halls they have failed to act. But here in Idaho we retain something powerful, a citizens ballot initiative, a tool of direct democracy when our Legislature will not act. So we acted”

Gregg Abbott has been Governor of Texas since 2015 and has spearheaded abortion bans, deaths of immigrants, & locking up immigrant kids. 📌Texans need to vote Gina Hinojosa for governor in order to protect our rights, freedoms and history. #GinaHinojosa #AbbottFailsTexas @ginafortexas.bsky.social

On one hand, it seems astounding that RFK Jr.’s anti-vax organization didn’t vet her before including her in a lawsuit against AAP, in which she claimed that vaccines killed her twins. On the other, it shows the endless capacity of anti-vaxxers to take the word of a random person over facts.

I wrote about the Supreme Court's latest disgusting anti-trans ruling. I wrote about it because I refuse to act like taking away constitutional rights and allowing legal discrimination is okay just because it's happening to people who don't poll well in a diner in Ohio. In @thenation.com

Clarence Thomas says the 14th Amendment should be read narrowly because it was written for formerly enslaved people. By that logic, the 2nd Amendment was written for muskets, not AR-15s. Funny how that kind of originalism only shows up when it's convenient.

Figuratively of course. But yes.

A massive Georgia data center drained nearly 30 million gallons of water, sparking outrage among local residents asked to conserve water during a drought. Residents of Fayetteville, Georgia, first noticed something was wrong when their home water pressure mysteriously plummeted.
