We are thrilled to announce that the Massachusetts Senate PASSED a strong data privacy protection bill this afternoon! Even better — This bill includes core provisions of the Location Shield Act which prohibits the sale of sensitive location data from YOUR cellphone.

Great piece by @jessicalwaters.bsky.social msmagazine.com/2025/09/25/t...

"Tylenol causes autism" is bananas but easy to comprehend from a feminist perspective. They want women* to suffer without pain relief. They want to control pregnant women. But just saw @robinmarty.com point out that it's also to counter the "medication abortion is safer that Tylenol" And oooof.

Scientists often argue that abortion medication is considered safer than Tylenol whenever there are attacks against it. And all year anti-abortion groups like Charlotte Lozier have used this comparison to question the safety of both abortion pills & Tylenol. This is peak anti-abortion framework.

Abortion rights shouldn’t be a bargaining chip lawmakers use to negotiate what they consider to be “legitimate” political issues. Abortion is inextricably linked with economic, climate, and health care policy. It is a legitimate political issue. You bend on abortion, you’ll bend on anything.

The harm the state of Ohio is causing every single day… 🤬

The #Ohio Democrats' proposed maps are very impressive They follow all aspects of our state Constitution (novel concept) but would also create districts that are ACTUALLY FLIPPABLE by BOTH PARTIES! We could hold our legislators accountable! 🥹 Read more: ohiohouse.gov/news/democra...

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

🗑️Meta is Memory-holing Abortion The vibes have been CURSED lately, as many have seen their FACTUAL posts about abortion DISAPPEARED by social media sites. EFF did the homework and compiled tons of these nefarious takedowns and suspensions. TURNS OUT it's A LOT and there’s a PATTERN. bit.ly/4nv1X5G

This is how you actually help pregnant people and families!! Not funding anti-abortion centers, not giving tax credits to rich people who donate to centers who demean and mislead people. GIVE THE PEOPLE THE CASH and guess what? They are less poor and have better outcomes!!!

Pritzker: What's at stake here is free speech. It's our constitution and our way of life. Do we really want the president intimidating people, organizations to get others fired? People ought to be standing up and speaking out.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

One of my favorite #Ohio advocacy organizations is looking for a new executive director 💗 Let's find them someone amazing! ocaaup.org/news/were-hi... @ohaaup.bsky.social #Education #HigherEd #college #universities #students #advocacy

This is outstanding. (Believe it.)

NEW: New Mexico will provide universal access to child care starting Nov. 1, Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham announced Monday during a news conference in her Cabinet room in the state Capitol. sfnm.co/4peZRZq

Anti-abortion extremists are using junk science to spread lies about abortion pills. The fact still remains: mifepristone is safe and effective. We're fighting to make sure everyone has access to the medication they need, when they need it.

It is 2025. Gonna need supporters of abortion rights to stop saying things like abortion is "traumatic"—especially when they are statewide elected officials. This is AG Matt Platkin of New Jersey doing great until the end. slate.com/transcripts/...

Crockett: We're talking about them going after Clyburn in South Carolina, Andre Carson in Indiana, Reverend Cleaver in Missouri. Emilia Sykes in Ohio, three of the four black representatives that we currently have in the state of Texas.  So don't tell me this isn't about race…

SNAP alleviates poverty. SNAP helps our kids in school. SNAP greatly improves health care outcomes. SNAP is crucial to local economies. Make no mistake, Illinois is working to mitigate the impacts of these cuts.

A federal judge temporarily blocked a provision in President Trump’s domestic policy package that cut Medicaid funding to certain abortion providers — a measure that primarily impacted Planned Parenthood.

Continuing the same practices time and time again and expecting different results is going to get us no where. If you silence every single dissenting voice you will never be able to learn from your mistakes and build the party that we all deserve.

Your daily reminder that mifepristone is SAFE! Anti-abortion extremists are baselessly trying to create doubts on this essential medication, but over and over again it has been proven: abortion pills are safe AND effective.

Did you know that Ohio ranks in the bottom 10 states for infant mortality rates, according to the CDC? So why does our latest state budget cut over $26 million from the department seeking to reduce infant mortality rates while giving more than $25 million to CPCs?

Players all wearing these T-shirts for warmups. “Pay Us What You Owe Us”

ICYMI: Planned Parenthood will be forced to close two of its local health centers due to federal changes to Medicaid. buff.ly/B1H2vTp

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

A new analysis shows that health insurance premiums for Obamacare are set to soar next year, as financial help that subsidized the cost expires. Congress is not likely to extend the subsidies.

Breonna Taylor should be alive today. She was shot and killed while sleeping when officers fired into her home. By seeking a one-day sentence for her murder, Trump's DOJ is sending a cruel and disrespectful message: that they don't value her life or that of her loved ones.

Look, obviously it is contradictory for DHS to be celebrating literal "new" immigrants as the nation's "heritage" in order to justify deporting immigrants. But, this is some seriously mask-off white supremacist settler shit right here.

Another win in Ohio thanks to the Reproductive Freedom Amendment! Ohioans want access to abortion!

Pregnancy is a minefield when you're disabled, with medical views around disability and pregnancy long influenced by the history of eugenics. “The narrative has to change so that disabled people have the right to be pregnant, and the right to have children—and the right not to have children.”

The 14th Amendment was ratified on this day in 1868. It guarantees: ✔️ due process for all ✔️ birthright citizenship ✔️ equal protection under the law Now more than ever, we're determined to protect these essential rights.

He proposes releasing some ICE prisoners to labor on farms where the employers will “own them” and be responsible for them. Historians have spent decades meticulously proving the straight line between slavery and modern capitalism’s concept of the laborer—or we could just let them say it.

Yes, every time I hear them bragging about it, I can't shake the feeling they would advertise how effective the gas chambers at Auschwitz are.

“The minutiae of Medicaid policy” is a wild euphemism for “16M+ Americans will lose their healthcare”

This last minute addition to the budget is shameful and shows just how far this legislature will go to cover up their hatred and greed. It must be vetoed from the bill before DeWine signs it!

Warnock: If I'm honest, there are days when I have to ask people of my faith tradition as a Christian, are we reading the same book?  The book I know says I was hungry and you fed me. I was sick, I was in prison and you visited me, I was a stranger and you welcomed me….

BREAKING: 1 in 4 nursing homes say they will be forced to close if Republicans pass Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill. No grandma should be kicked out of her nursing home so that Mark Zuckerberg can buy another Hawaiian island.

Zohran Mamdani’s plan to tax the rich is a 2% tax on income over $1 million. If you make $1.1 million, you’d pay an extra $2,000. Watching working class conservatives and politicians completely meltdown about this is wild.

On Thursday, Republican justices ruled, in Medina v. Planned Parenthood, that Medicaid patients may not choose their health provider. And then they went much further. Thursday’s decision radically reorders all of federal Medicaid law, rendering much of it unenforceable. voxdotcom.visitlink.me/s05_KP

Commentary: Thirty-five percent of college students report receiving mental health services. Ohio House Republicans cut funding $20 million proposed by Gov. DeWine for those services. If those cuts stand, Ohio college students will lose critical resources ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/06/25/o...

Disabled activist Carol Olinger is still in custody after peacefully protesting GOP Medicaid cuts. She needs insulin NOW & has kidney dialysis at 6am. This is medical neglect—cruel and deliberate. Her life is at risk. We demand her release & care. Please share widely!

On the three year anniversary of Dobbs, it's important to remember that all of this is true: - The opinion has caused terrible suffering. - Abortion numbers are higher than they have been in years. - The antiabortion movement is losing over and over again. - Abortion is more popular than ever. /1

I had some fun at the statehouse today. They tried to play “let’s misuse statistics” with me… not today satan.

A growing body of research demonstrating the safety and effectiveness of self-managed abortion with pills, coupled with the global pandemic in 2020 and the fall of Roe in 2022, has many U.S. doctors changing their views.

To every trans and nonbinary young person: You are real. You are loved. You are free to be yourself, to live boldly, to dream big. You are thriving. You are leading. You are shaping the future.
