@malloryjohns.bsky.social, RNG's executive director, shared her vision for journalism w/@niemanlab.org. It's about editorial independence, coalition-building & transparency.

I am famously not known for hopium but I gotta tell y'all.... this interview I did with Skye Perryman from Democracy Forward has me feeling real good about fighting autocracy and building communities. Need some inspiration today? Might I suggest giving a listen rewirenewsgroup.com/2025/11/13/w...

In news that will shock no one but which everyone needs to hear, abortion bans hurt the speed and quality of medical care across the board—even when treatment has nothing to do with abortion, new study shows

New from me and @catesby.bsky.social: Why abortion is still an issue in Virginia this election cycle, even though it's not technically on the ballot rewirenewsgroup.com/2025/10/20/v...

"Black people are tired. Not metaphorically tired—actually tired. The kind of tired that turns every group chat into a mix of gallows humor and emotional triage."

I asked a numbers guy: What else could Trump's $150 billion mass deportation budget pay for? The short answer is: Americans could get a lot of FREE health care, and shuttered rural hospitals could reopen their doors. For the long answer, you gotta click through.

Trump hasn't forgotten about abortion—even as ICE raids make headlines—his administration is gearing up to dust off a zombie law, the 1873 Comstock Act, to ban mailing abortion pills, medical supplies, contraception, pornography, and even dildos. My latest:

⚠️Welp. The Supreme Court just agreed to hear a case next term about whether states can ban trans girls from playing on girls sports teams. And if you’ve been paying attention—*especially* after Skrmetti—the answer is gonna be "YOU BETCHA." @hegemommy.bsky.social and I covered this case in 2023:
