A paper in JAMA Internal Medicine adds to the growing scientific evidence that medication abortion pills would be safe to sell over-the-counter at the pharmacy. But political opposition means that possibility may not happen anytime soon. n.pr/4dvS8Tt

Then they move them to Texas and hope they die in childbirth www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Oh wow. How did I miss this? The SAVE America Act would effectively ban voter registration drives, a mainstay of college campuses and neighborhood events. They really REALLY don't want people voting. www.rawstory.com/trump-267666...

The Way I Was.

Melanoma. Metastatic melanoma was basically a death sentence as recently as 2008. Immunotherapy (which was my job!!) has completely transformed outcomes for metastatic melanoma).

now THAT’S how a major publication should write a lede www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The New York Times deleted Trump’s “open the fuckin’ strait” line to make him look less insane Their write-up falsely says his post says only “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!!” and “Praise be to Allah”

The @washingtonpost.com describes the deaths of an estimated 750,000 people to date as "messy"

Grief is like this—so hard that you have to cry and laugh and keep them with us best we can. Important project below.

Tomorrow’s NYT headline: Some Say NATO should stand for North American Treaty Organization. Who Is to Say It Doesn’t?

These NYT headlines are going to drive me to an early grave.

Mississippi’s infant mortality rate increased to 9.7 deaths per 1,000 live births in 2024—the highest since 2013—the most recent data from MSDH shows. Since 2014, 3,527 babies have died before celebrating their first birthday, MSDH reported in 2025.

From Mary Wollstonecraft to Sojourner Truth, the fight for women’s rights emerged alongside—and was fundamentally shaped by—the struggle to abolish slavery and secure universal human rights.

This is messed up on so many levels.

It’s giving “establishment of religion.” Also, very strange placement of the cross.

They don’t want to put their method on paper because they know it’s unconstitutional and embarrassing.

Researchers at Stanford University modeled how many people could die or be disabled in 25 years if vaccines for polio, measles, rubella or diphtheria were no longer available. We decided to illustrate it.

Your professors care about you, even if the administration does not. The sentiment yesterday at Boston University as community protested BU leaders who removed Pride Flags from faculty windows. Proud of my colleagues and students. @aaup.org #TerrierCourage www.bostonglobe.com/video/2026/0...

NEW: In 2021, Kristen Clarke became the first Black woman to serve as the Department of Justice’s civil rights chief. Five years later, she says the department has “fully retreated from the mission.” www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Trump says he’ll announce Pam Bondi’s new position soon, but I don’t think jailhouse lawyer is a job that is usually announced.

Is there a stupid article they won’t write?

Trump, shall we say, proves it all night. (4:58 am)

I'm shocked that trad men don't like women. Shocked I tell you!

here's the clip of Gorsuch on "Roman law sources"

lmao

(The word "domicile" does not appear in the 14th Amendment, nothing in the text suggests that birthright citizenship hinges on a child's parents having "domicile" in the U.S.)

I know laws don’t exist any more but perhaps the MSM could point out for old time’s sake that he cannot actually do this.

Abortion "abolitionists" want everyone who has an abortion to be prosecuted for murder. There was a time when mainline "pro-life" groups wouldn't even ACKNOWLEDGE these folks because they at least knew how awful it looks to the public. Now it's a ~ big tent ~.

The Supreme Court, shorter: you had a fundamental right to do anything the GOP approves of, and everything else is a crime.

It's simple: The Supreme Court says bans on medical care—and speech related to that care—are only allowed in the conservative direction. Tennessee can ban gender-affirming care as a medical regulation, matter but Colorado CANNOT regulate therapists who wish to deny patients' gender or sexuality

In what world is it okay for the Defense Secretary to make multi-million dollar investments in defense companies: a) Ever; b) In the run-up to starting a war in the Middle East FT has the scoop: www.ft.com/content/744e... In a functional democracy, he would offer his resignation tonight.

Family law is never dull.

Ask me why I don’t trust medical boards…

This happened to a friend; his disappointment was compounded b/c he’d thought the “BUS” designation on his boarding pass meant he’d been upgraded to business class

And here’s a link to the research that won her the Nobel:

I’m going to insist on the presence of a grammarian at all airports until Homan learns the difference between less and fewer.

After Claudia Goldin became the first woman to win a solo Nobel in economics, she got hundreds of invitations. She accepted three. One was advising WNBA players on a labor deal. She helped players land the biggest % raise in US sports history. www.wsj.com/economy/wnba...

I am often asked what laws I would recommend blue states adopt. While there is no one-size-fits-all approach, there are seven changes every state could adopt right now, for virtually no cost or administrative burden. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/seve...

Such a rich interview with @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social "A government can take away your rights, but no one can take away your belief in those rights. The first points of challenge to fascism are memory and history." www.theguardian.com/books/2026/m...

It’s #SerotoninSunday 🌈 🏛️ A Colorado abortion provider is using the ERA and the state’s new voter-approved abortion amendment to challenge a parental notification law. Cuz ur parents don’t need to be snoopin’ in your room OR your womb.https://bit.ly/47o5zAX

“Sperm whales live in matrilineal groups: grandmothers, mothers and daughters. Females stick together, while males set out on their own in their mid-teens… Roughly half of the whales present during the birth were not directly related to her.” We need to consider a return to matriarchy, tbh.

😂

No one wants to hear my hot take about how wealth gives you a bigger sports advantage than genetics.

This is just bizarre, like they don't understand how English works. The statement from the AMA's Chief Communications Officer said "surgical interventions in minors should be generally deferred to adulthood." That is not "endorses restrictions" (NYT headline) or "backed limitations" (NYT lede).

This is WILD and also not at all surprising. An OBGYN associated with the Texas anti-abortion pregnancy center that failed to diagnose a woman's ectopic pregnancy on an ultrasound (she later required emergency surgery) told the DMN of the care she was given: "There is nothing to fix."

.13 counts as very drunk at the wheel.

The COVID pandemic ushered mRNA vaccines into the spotlight, and the technology has even greater potential. Here’s what to know about the way that they work, their safety, and more

Wow, turns out vaccines during pregnancy are... safe and effective, even protecting babies! Incredible! Truly shocking! It's almost like science works?!💉🛡️👶 This admin keeps peddling COVID-19 antivax nonsense, but science prevails.💪 Science: 2,978,547 🧠🪱: -785
