I know this feels pointless but everyone has to call their congressional reps and say they oppose war with Iran and they oppose Trump illegally starting one without congressional approval — both congresscalllist.com

Built on the memory of Dr. Carmen Landau, it was an honor to be welcomed into Valley Abortion Group (VAG) this week. They’re helping build new norms for abortion care that include advocating for later abortion care & fighting for holistic staff support so patients get the medical care they deserve.

What the genocide in Gaza reinforced is that there are no "civilians" when it comes to Israel and the United States. The rest of the world learned the same lesson and the consequences are going to be felt across the world.

SCOOP: Noem's DHS has acquired at least NINE new jets in recent weeks, with another one on the way. Half are luxury jets. gillianbrockell.ghost.io/noems-luxury...

YES! The purpose of www.unpunishpregnancy.com is to help people get into the *details* of how our bodily autonomy is limited by the state. We can’t organize against what we don’t see and too many people get paid six figures to talk AROUND this shit!

They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.

They're going to lie about birth control just as they did with trans people.

@hcrichardson.bsky.social This professor & his merry band, who documented museum signage before it was bowlderized under Trump, are heroes. The truth is preserved in 50k phone photos. Fact checking & history is a subversive act that can get you surrounded by guards. Gift article. wapo.st/4kT0GVX

A judge will hear arguments Tuesday on whether to halt telemedicine prescriptions of the abortion pill mifepristone nationwide. Telehealth abortions made up 27% of all abortions in 2025 and have helped people access care in states with bans. The law firm that helped end Roe v. Wade is involved:

Chicago's organizing community is mourning the untimely passing of Michael Caga-anan Aguhar following a medical emergency last week. His partner, Irina, and their toddler, Zoya, are going to need so much help and support to get through this. Please join me in donating if you can.

There have always been horrifically anti-trans groups and individuals. Few have done more, though, to launder their hate into “respectable” conversations than Jess Singal. No publications have done more to help that along than The Atlantic and The New York Times.

Dunk on MAGA/GOP, fine, but: know that abortion-as-homicide bills come directly from the anti-abortion lobby and specifically "abolitionist" groups. GOP lawmakers can be shamed out of supporting these bills. More from my colleagues at @reproaction.bsky.social here:

Might be a good time to remember that each of us is profoundly annoying to someone.

I spoke with Dr. April Lockley, medical director of the Miscarriage and Abortion hotline, who has fielded questions from hundreds of people managing their abortions at home. Since Roe v. Wade fell, many callers are filled with concern: “If I go to the emergency room, will they call the police?”

Don't congratulate John Roberts or the Supreme Court. Congratulate Rick Woldenberg, the Chicago-area leader of Learning Resources, an educadtional toy company that had the courage to sue the president of the United States to save his family business. As well as everyone else who stepped up.

The reports keep coming out and they keep getting worse. History is watching—we cannot stand idly by.

Yes,,, your boy has taken a ride in the 4 man bobsled,,, but im an adrenaline junkie and needed to try skeleton. And now I’ve officially joined the team and am gonna try to start competing. 66 years old going 66 mph.

JUST IN: Republican Attorneys General of 21 states asked a judge to end telehealth prescriptions of abortion pills nationwide claiming FDA rules mean they can't enforce their restrictions/bans. Hearing in Louisiana case against FDA is scheduled for 2/24 storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

As a policy person for abortion clinics I want you to know that county commissioners, city councils & zoning officers have enormous power to slow or stop building uses & are thin-skinned about taxpayers yelling at them. Godspeed in your efforts to stop concentration camps in your town w this info.

The Trump administration is sending all pregnant unaccompanied minors apprehended by immigration enforcement to a single group shelter in South Texas. This is a sharp turn from longstanding federal practice, which placed them in shelters or foster homes equipped to handle high-risk pregnancies.

Court battle over surveillance footage at the Broadview ICE detention center reaches new levels of kafkaesque absurdity: The DOJ claimed it *couldn't afford* hard drives to put video footage on. Plaintiffs bought THE US GOVERNMENT hard drives. ICE "lost" them. www.404media.co/government-l...

This is really dark, we need to figure out how to protect synagogues and other places of worship from the govt and the violent arsonists and mass murderers that feel empowered by the govt right now. This also is urgent for GAC providers, abortion providers, shelters for survivors of IPV, and more

Gonna tune into the recording later since this apparently was a bop!

Did you know that six in ten abortion seekers in the United States are already parents? They know precisely what it takes to raise a child.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

Unbelievably intense seeing these letters, videos, photos, and quotes from inside an American for-profit concentration camp for immigrant families. Look at this baby — she and her mom were finally released after the @propublica.org reporter asked questions

I read the “SAVE Act” (the GOP’s new voter suppression bill) so you don’t have to. This is my one page summary. Jesus it’s bad. 1/

‘Scott is chairman of the NRSC, which is tasked with ensuring the GOP maintains its majority in that chamber following November’s midterm elections.’ Duuuuuuude that video is going right back up Nov 4th, remember to tuck and roll when your party throws you under the bus to go full kkk

Our parenting plans changed drastically between 2023 and now. With two Black girls, we’ve built a dome of protection that would have felt way too intense when we didn’t have demented racist rapists in power. Hoping his name only enters their heads when they learn about our country’s racist history.

The Wright Museums Instagram page is HILARIOUS. Think The Office but it's the staff at a Museum for Black History. Better believe this is on my list of places to visit. Gentle Spades "I'm a veteran"

Alright, Mamdani got me back into electoral politics so I will be doing the most for @julianastratton.bsky.social, who was very sweet to me when I told @kamalaharris.com my sister died from complications from an abortion who I believe would still be here if she had an abortion fund working with her.

These children have been held in punitive detention since June. Their father committed a hate crime, so, in retaliation, the US government is subjecting the children to medical neglect, starvation, and psychological torture.

Annoyingly, this doesn’t specify what exactly is happening. But it sure seems like DHS filed a “motion to pretermit” the asylum application. Which it is doing in countless cases around the country. There’s been a little reporting on this; there needs to be a bunch more. I’m working a piece myself.

BREAKING: The federal government has filed a motion seeking to end asylum claims for the family of Liam Conejo Ramos, according to the lawyer representing the family.

Private prison money is flooding Congress. 💰 @elizabethweill.bsky.social & @ethanscorey.bsky.social uncover companies fueling ICE detention, like CoreCivic & GEO Group, donating millions while Congress expanded detention. Have your reps taken $$$ from ICE jailers? inthesetimes.com/article/ice-...

So many people who are activated by ICE will want to tear down all the walls once they know more about prisons, jails, and juvenile detention centers. We can’t become a country of concentration camps and this is a great moment to educate more people about all cages.

Meandered thru Epstein files last night and it gives you a good picture of people in power: Soon-Yi Previn and Woody Allen received advice for from Epstein re: Dylan. Epstein is raging mad about Woody not fighting Mia more. He thinks Woody still could get away with something he couldn’t.

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

@durbin.senate.gov is retiring but before he leaves he seems intent on keeping the status quo going. He’s always popping up on the small list of dems voting for Trump nominees.

Marimar Martinez, shot 5 times by Border Patrol in Chicago, speaks out after Renee Good, Alex Pretti deaths 'I am their voice' NEW w/ @adrianacardmag.bsky.social: chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

ICE can do what it does largely b/c tech billionaires soon to be trillionaires got illegal access to all the data we’ve ever given the govt and face zero laws that protect us from them. So few members of congress care or get it so I appreciate when one of them plainly states the ongoing tech threat.

They can’t help shitposting for bigots and it’s starting to hurt them in court

Haiti’s TPS continues for now!!!!! And zowie: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.dcd.283214/gov.uscourts.dcd.283214.124.0_1.pdf

Obama spoke at this dinner where press is not allowed, TWICE.

I don’t think I can say this forcefully enough: hundreds of thousands of Haitians will lose status tomorrow with racist ending of their TPS & are spending today refreshing their feeds for a court order that could literally save thier lives. This is nothing short of psychosocial torture.

Everything makes much more sense if you stop assuming people in power are there on merit. Clarence Thomas is a useful idiot for people like John Roberts who otherwise despise sharing fountains with Black people and watching women get bank accounts. Our laws are made by shitposting edgelord clerks.
