We had a great conversation with Dr Daniel Grossman of @ansirh.bsky.social on this week’s episode of @outlawedthepodcast.bsky.social about the science and safety of mifepristone. Get the facts here!! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/o...

The Fetal Personhood ideology-driven prosecutions of women for Tylenol consumption are gonna be lit.

The anti-abortion movement doesn't only hurt women. Ex: SBA Pro-Life America is threatening "to punish Republicans who vote for an extension" of Affordable Care Act subsidies. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

At a post-abortion retreat run by a US-based anti-abortion group, attendees were told to carry a rock around all weekend. 👀 www.thetimes.com/uk/healthcar...

"If I lay perfectly still, may I'll blend in with the couch, and they won't notice I broke the 'No Puppies On the Couch' rule."

Anti-vaxxers are copying a core anti-abortion strategy: if you can’t make it illegal, make it inaccessible instead. truthout.org/articles/fda...

Catholic hospitals across the globe continue to delay/deny critical miscarriage care, traumatizing women and families in the process. *Also, congratulations to so-called "pro-lifers." Your policies have earned yourselves and the US quite the reputation, internationally. +

It's really incredible how much of our current politics has been shaped by men who got rejected from something in one way or another and decided to punish everyone else for it. Federal, state, local, it doesn't matter -- the examples are everywhere.

"Women should have no pain relief during pregnancy because - in our brain wormed fugue state fueled by eugenics bullshit that lacks actual scientific support - the women folk might birth babies with traits we don't like."

You're pregnant. You're back, hips, & joints ache bc pregnancy painfully adds extra load to your spine while loosening the ligaments that normally stabilize & hold your joints together. You're only a woman, tho so you're expected to just suck it up with a smile for the sake of pseudoscience.

Removal protections are gone. Humphrey's Executor is overruled in all but name by the Shadow Docket. Rest in peace to the Presidency, and long live the Monarchy.

Re-upping my post from earlier this year about how ridiculously thin the Court's embrace of the "unitary executive theory" in these cases has been: www.stevevladeck.com/p/153-living...

the sycophancy for trump aside, very hard to overstate the arrogance of this majority in dispensing with a precedent that has served this country and both of its political parties well for nearly a century.

South Carolina is considering new anti-abortion laws that would make the work of abortion funds illegal. buff.ly/3PC9o2W

Amy Coney Barrett did it to Ketanji Brown Jackson in the injunction case—tried to undermine her credibility in the nastiest terms I've honestly ever seen in a Supreme Court opinion. And then it turned out Barrett was wrong. It's a pattern that is constantly repeated and always irritating as hell.

Funny AND totally on point.

Remember that MLK said America suffers not just from "the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people."

My dog can be fast asleep, but if I say, "I love you," her tail starts wagging. So cute. ❤️

"we’re not going to quit until done o’clock." in the last episode of looking back, moving forward, i talked to former nevada sen. pat spearman about the ongoing fight for the equal rights amendment — and why constitutional equality still matters. read more + tune in @msmagazine.com!

The government cites Skrmetti. [Application not up on the SCOTUS website yet; will be docketed as 25A319.]

I also think it's worth emphasizing a related yet larger point: what ABC and the FCC did on Wednesday is just one part of a much broader attack on civil society. And it maps onto arguments from political scientists that the U.S. has formally backslid into "competitive authoritarianism."

Excellent thread and op-ed by my colleague!

I didn’t have agreeing with Ted Cruz on my bingo card. “Ted Cruz says FCC chairman Brendan Carr sounded more like an organized crime boss than a federal regulator when he threatened to revoke ABC’s licenses”

The aesthetics of ICE—puff-chested and average bro—do more than shroud Trump’s immigration cops in secrecy.

Thanks so much, @pemalevy.bsky.social and @motherjones.com, for the time and care you all took with this important story.

Destroy people's ability to afford health insurance? So very "pro life"

Totally in line with the stated MAHA goal of protecting people’s fertility to make it near impossible to afford to access the reproductive healthcare that does just that. I’m Gen X and have friends who didn’t have kids because they never had health insurance that covered prenatal care until the ACA.

I've been following this tactic for a while: So-called "abortion abolitionists" are creating graphic materials that supporters can then stealthily insert inside of various products in retail stores. 1/

This thread apples to ALL censorship:

Heads up: Power lobby group SBA Pro-Life is meeting with House Republicans to pressure them into allowing the Affordable Care Act's tax credits to expire. If the tax credits aren't renewed by the end of the year, ACA health insurance premiums will skyrocket.
