the vote on the “agreed conclusions” • Thirty-seven (37) YAY • Six (6) abstentions (Côte d'Ivoire; Democratic Republic of the Congo; Egypt; Mali; Mauritania; Saudi Arabia) • ONE (1) NAY from the govt of the Disunited States of America. It’s not my fucking America.

I can’t get past the fact that the United States of America stood alone as the sole vote AGAINST gender equality

I’ve already heard about a friend’s kid being deployed. For context: I’m not someone who typically has friends w kids deployed 🤷🏻‍♀️

I could be wrong but this wknd seems like a watershed moment as people discover that *Forever Wars Are A Thing* and *The War with Iran Has No End* meaning it will be another *Forever War* sponsered by your peace-loving, war-mongering, antilife Republicans ☮️

are Washington, Michigan, New York, Vermont, and Minnesota. If you don’t live in one of those states and you don’t already have a real ID, you’re better off getting a passport for voting (if you can). If you’re a first time passport applicant you may have to make an appointment before you go.

I’ve found it easier for folks to understand the real ID and the passport as two separate documents entirely. The real id is issued by the state, the passport is issued by the federal government. The only states that issue real ids that satisfy federal government proof of citizenship requirements

It's a terrible, awful gap that could potentially be weaponized by anti-abortion prosecutors.

Compare this to explicit language carving out pregnant person from liability in, e.g., TX law: "This chapter may not be construed to authorize the imposition of criminal, civil, or administrative liability or penalties on a pregnant female on whom an abortion is performed, induced, or attempted. "

This language seems to suggest that the woman can be charged unless she can prove the abortion was necessary to prevent a "medical emergency"; a separate provision relates to a physician performing an abortion in a medical emergency.../3

W/ respect to pregnant person, GA Code § 16-12-141 only says this: "(h) It shall be an affirmative defense to prosecution under this article if: ...(5) A woman sought an abortion because she reasonably believed that an abortion was the only way to prevent a medical emergency." /2

Unfortunately, GA law is less clear than other state laws about whether the pregnant person can be charged (language of statute to follow...) /1

There are THIRTY MILLION Christian Zionists in the US ALONE - that’s twice as many as there are Jews in the ENTIRE WORLD. But nobody’s drawing swastikas on their churches or rampaging through them or attacking Christian Zionists on the street. But yeah ok American Jews deserve this.

Hockey East quarterfinals kick off tonight with #4 Boston College versus #5 Maine. 🦅Eagles leading 2-0 in the first period. #GoBC #hockeyeast #ncaa #collegehockey 🥅🏒

more incompetence from Jezebel. “DOJ quietly pleads…”. “sounds like someone’s…”. 🤦🏻‍♀️ please stop treating public court filings like they’re secret notes passed in class; please use legal terms and adult words. the media’s been crafting an alternative narrative in the mifepristone cases. it’s weird.

⚖️ Reminder: Missouri v. FDA — GenBioPro’s response to intervenor- plaintiff (I-P) states’ Missouri +Kansas +Idaho complaint is due tmrw 3/13 (set by the court 12/29). Recap: •This is the original All. for Hipp. Medicine case, now in #EDMO •The I-P states amended the complaint to include Evita when

anyway i’d love to turn on the tv and not hear someone in government speak bible to me.

“Jill Biden is writing a memoir. Recession indicator.” 💀

Casey Means “is not right” for the role because she’s *unqualified* - SHE IS NOT A LICENSED MEDICAL DOCTOR. cut thru this false valor bullshit and use your words Gupta.

sound familiar?

that feeling when your AC kicks on because it was 80 degrees yesterday but it’s 29 and snowing now 🙃 climate is so silly sometimes.

If only we had a competent, unbiased government that actually represented its people. Le sigh. In lieu of that, we must keep track of everything the Trump admin does. Make no mistake, the words they use & lines they add/delete ⬇️ matter. Trump’s attack on marginalized communities is *unrelenting*.

“‘It made me feel necessary,’ Clyburn said of House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries’ (D-NY) push to get him to run again.” “He added that Jeffries had offered him a leadership position should Democrats win the House majority[.]” 🚨🚨🚨

His daughter SHOULD NOT be able to just slide into this seat either. Fuck these entitled assholes.

It's about that time, y'all Last year we raised $626 for reproductive healthcare across the Deep South through @yellowfund.bsky.social Let's double it up fund.nnaf.org/glitterburrito2026

Episode 3 of The Road to Care is out now. Getting abortion care often means traveling long distances and navigating costs like gas, childcare, lodging, and time away from work. Abortion funds and clinics work together to make that journey possible. Watch the new episode: youtu.be/BcjgqQvP3as?...

ICE now has four warehouses for its “mega” detention centers, each which would individually be the largest prison in the country if filled to capacity.

And the private search doctrine doesn't allow NCMEC to open the file, an issue on which there's a pre-existing split.

As regular readers know, I've been banging the drum that TOS don't eliminate 4A rights in online accounts since my 2024 article on this. Among the big holdings in yesterday's CA4 ruling in Lowers: A strong endorsement of that view. More holdings below. ca4.uscourts.gov/opinions/244...

NJ legislature removes all mention of “crisis pregnancy center” from the consumer fraud act. If you look really hard you’ll find the word abortion once in the revised language. Otherwise it just warns against person’s deceptively advertising “pregnancy related services” in violation of the CFA. ?

Healthy moms mean healthy families. With two maternal health bills advanced out of committee today, we are working to ensure moms feel supported before and after giving birth.

sorry boys, no one ever said fascism = fashion! 👞👞👞 in all seriousness; these men are cult, sorry - cabinet, members of the highest levels of government and they fear correcting Donald Trump on their own shoe size. safe to say they’re not pushing back anywhere else.

This is what the Trump administration has done to women and girls: credit: @hersafeharbor.bsky.social

I first started talking about the SAVE America Act when it came up last year (as just the SAVE Act). I warned every woman I knew (and didn’t know — in my free time, I hopped into mom subreddits to explain). Funny, personal story — my mom, at age 70, is reflecting on her life & how the patriarchy

the way Dave Matthews warmed my old person heart last night 🥹😁

don’t forget that Markwayne Mullin doesn’t become DHS secretary unless Congress confirms him.

A guest tonight on Stephanie Ruhle re mines in the Strait of Hormuz: “Here’s the problem with the idea that Trump will TACO (Trump Always Chickens Out)…the problem is that Trump always forgets that other people have agency, including Iran, and he might not be able to chicken out.” omg omg omg

In addition to the DOJ’s response to Naviwala, we should also keep an eye on litigation in other districts; i wonder how the DOJ will respond to open challenges to U.S. Attorneys / Appointments Clause workarounds in (1) NDNY (2) EDVA (3) CDCA (4) DNV and (5) DNM. Each case is slightly different.

NEW: plaintiff-state Louisiana, and plaintiff Rosalie Markezich, file their brief in opposition to intervenor-defendant Danco’s and GenBioPro’s motions to dismiss their (plaintiffs’) motion for pre-trial relief (TRO or PI). Recall, the federal defendants (FDA et al) are primarily seeking a stay.

There have always been abortion providers, and there will always be abortion providers. Today, we celebrate everyone who makes abortion care possible. #CelebrateAbortionProviders

Where’s the FIRE extinguisher?

Thank God.

as you can see, anti-abortion lunatics exist everywhere & in NJ, they’re still peddling the same QANON trafficking/satanic ritual nonsense under the cover of groups like “center for garden state families” and - of course - NJ right to life (marie tasy, as outspoken as ever). a relative newcomer

Ultimately, the judge declined to apply the major questions doctrine, finding the clear statement rule sufficient in these cases; the Appointments Clause already demands clarity & strict adherence to its PAS rule. Only Congress can authorize an alternative mechanism (FVRA). (Opinion pgs 26-35)*

The line between pedophilic and ordinary sexuality in straight men is razor-thin

i’ve been going through the new Epstein docs & back over the old ones; and one of the questions i still have is, why were “we” (proverbial “we”) focused exclusively on Epstein’s flight records for so long? why did that dominate the narrative when so much other evidence existed? just a question.

The full article. As far as I know the rumor about Fox was never verified; it’s not a piece of gossip to be included in serious reporting.

I want to know where Politico got this information:
