Most plausible reason they took it.

KBJ: So ... you'd be bringing pregnant women in for depositions" (asking how the EO denying birthright citizenship would work)

I wrote this! I’m still thinking about this comment a reader left: “It feels uniquely American to invest in amenities to distract from short staffing and overcrowding.”

My Friday newsletter for @niemanstoryboard.org: @irincarmon.bsky.social annotates a chapter from her book "Unbearable," plus @shorensteinctr.bsky.social @stephenrodrick.bsky.social and a new film about the Renaud brothers. niemanstoryboard.org/2026/03/06/b...

Dream come true: my book is a finalist for the New York Public Library’s Helen Bernstein Book Award. And what company! @irincarmon.bsky.social @brian-goldstone.bsky.social @karenhao.bsky.social I try not to put too much stock in awards, but this one feels pretty cool.

In my first adapted excerpt of Killers of Roe, I reflect on @irincarmon.bsky.social's reporting on Planned Parenthood's "good-girl problem" and what the abortion rights movement can learn from history...and from its enemies. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

I always learn from @robinmarty.com

In case people tell you that public criticism of the court doesn’t matter, here’s Brett Kavanaugh trying to walk back what he said in the ICE roving patrol case - when he blessed racial profiling & called the stops prompt. He was lambasted; @akalhan.bsky.social coined the term “Kavanaugh stops”

🎙️ON AIR: We're talking to scholar @roxanegay.bsky.social, New York magazine's @irincarmon.bsky.social and @ucberkeleylaw.bsky.social's Savala Nolan about how misogyny has become mainstream and what can be done about it. ❓Do you think misogyny has become mainstream? 📻 Listen:

Incredible work.

This entire weekend

A really special conversation I got to have with @byreginamahone.bsky.social about my book UNBEARABLE in @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/soci...

I talked to student and faculty at Harvard about Larry Summers + Jeffrey Epstein — including the student who recorded (and heckled) his class nymag.com/intelligence...

WATCH: “I was told that in Me Too, men were being crushed under the boot of feminism. But this is the peak of Me Too,” says @irincarmon.bsky.social on Larry Summers' 2018 email to Epstein seeking advice over a woman he described as his mentee.

“The abortion and reproductive rights sphere was the original fake news… the state was giving people misinformation at the behest of right-wing activists, and medical doctors were being conscripted into giving people false information.” - @irincarmon.bsky.social

“I was looking at the [Alito Roe v Wade] opinion and not seeing anything that recognized the burden, the humanity, and the sacrifice of people who get pregnant.” – @irincarmon.bsky.social gaslitnation.libsyn.com/unbearable-t...

My book event tonight with the great @profmmurray.bsky.social will be live streamed here: www.youtube.com/live/EXuXG7h... 7pm eastern

“As our daughters have slowly asserted their separateness, it has occurred to me that almost everything that makes parenting them challenging can also make it transcendent”

Your first look at this week's 20% off new release book picks, four fiction, four nonfiction. You don't have to support Jeff Bezos to get discounts on hot new books. Come to us: theliteratelizard.com/front-page-b... Titles/authors in alt-text. Authors and publishers on Bluesky in comment #Booksky

Hard to tell a nuanced story of pregnancy and parenting at this moment, when the most powerful people in the country talk paternalistically and coercively about whether women are having enough children, when their vision of a family is narrow and cruel. But I tried. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/25/o...

No one better to write this book that @irincarmon.bsky.social - I can't wait to read it (even though it will make me want to punch a wall in rage)

found this very moving and clarifying from @irincarmon.bsky.social www.thecut.com/article/make...

Come say hi!!

American mothers are dying at rates that would shock you. Irin Carmon joins the podcast to discuss her new book "Unbearable", where she exposes what happens when profit-driven healthcare meets pregnancy. 🎙️ Tune in: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/critically-speaking/id1463016517

Cops misled journalists about using a powerful surveillance tool to track a woman across state lines because she had an abortion, then tried to cover it up when we found out the truth. Huge story from @jasonkoebler.bsky.social and @josephcox.bsky.social this morning: www.404media.co/police-said-...

@susanrinkunas.com and I contacted every Planned Parenthood affiliate potentially affected by the Medicaid “defund.” Here’s what we learned about whether people with Medicaid can still visit their local PP:

In the wake of federal “defunding,” one Planned Parenthood affiliate has halted abortions, another has suspended all Medicaid services, and others are self-pay only. Find out where your local organization stands:

EXCLUSIVE: Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin will halt abortions in October in response to the GOP budget "defunding" provision It's the first known PP affiliate to drop abortion services in the wake of the law:

“Extraordinary” is barely adequate to describe this story. Kudos to @chrisgeidner.bsky.social for keeping track of this seeming abuse of power

An important new book from @irincarmon.bsky.social - can’t wait to talk to you about it at @harvardbookstore.bsky.social

Looking forward to seeing you with @politicsprose.bsky.social at the Kind Library in Washington, DC! @oneillinstitute.bsky.social

Hi Bluesky! Have I mentioned my book UNBEARABLE: Five Women and the Perils of Pregnancy is out October 28? It tells a bigger story of reproduction in America through the experiences of five women, and it’s available for preorder now: bookshop.org/p/books/unbe...

By the way @garnethenderson.com and I are still trying to determine what criminal case Jonathan Mitchell is referring to. Corpus Christi Police told us today that there are “no open or active investigations” involving this man or woman. More when we have it

About that hot chocolate abortion case… it gets more complicated. I talked to the man’s lawyer, who claims Jonathan Mitchell knew the issues with the case and pressed forward anyway nymag.com/intelligence...
