BREAKING: the Supreme Court finally blocked a lower court's ban on telemedicine prescriptions of abortion drug mifepristone from taking effect, pending full hearing/ruling in Fifth Circuit. Dissents from Alito and Thomas, who claims that the dormant Comstock Act of 1873 bans mailing of mifepristone

SCOTUS has blocked the Fifth Circuit ruling, which means FOR NOW, you can access medication abortion (mife AND miso) through telehealth. Do yourself a favor and order medication abortion RIGHT NOW from @aidaccess.bsky.social. You don't even have to be pregnant and it ships right to your door.

Buck v. Bell is STILL good case law, which means that a state could still enforce eugenicist policies with the aim to prevent "unfit" individuals from bearing children and have a constitutional basis. It's abhorrent.

While the world is a mess, there have been some legit wins for abortion access in recent months that are worth celebrating. Especially in times of darkness, it's imperative to find and celebrate the wins. I detail a few of them for @truthout.org:

Didn't think it would be controversial to say I am and remain anti-genocide, but whew have the last few years proved otherwise.

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."

I don't fuck with AI for many reasons, but chiefly, because it's based on stolen labor and exploitation. There is no "AI revolution;" it's actually just billionaire tech bros stealing work product and, in this case, a literal persona, from underpaid and exploited workers.

I recently finished Killers of Roe by the amazing @amylittlefield.bsky.social and I'm now knee-deep in Fear and Fury by the incomparable @historianheather.bsky.social. I am equal parts edified and enraged. Both should be required reading.

33 years ago today, Dr. David Gunn was shot and killed outside of his Pensacola abortion clinic. He had been stalked and harassed for weeks, yet law enforcement did nothing. His murder, the first of an abortion provider in U.S. history, is commemorated now with #AbortionProviderAppreciationDay.

We must state this clearly. Our lawless regime is building a system of "human warehouses" that will function as concentration camps. Most Americans have no idea that this could quickly exceed Japanese-American internment. No national Democrats are calling for these camps to be stopped & closed.

Anti-abortion groups are trying to force the public release of Indiana's pregnancy termination records, even though the state has a near-total abortion ban. Why? They want to expose abortion seekers and providers to public harassment. My latest for @truthout.org: truthout.org/articles/ant...

ICE tear gassed a bunch of children on Saturday. This was a massive escalation of force. They were shooting tear gas at the back of the crowd, it took these unmasked people maybe 3-5 minutes in the cloud of tear gas to escape in without trampling. www.theverge.com/policy/87278...

Stephen Miller is a Nazi pass it on

We already learned the hard way with abortion rights that mealy-mouthed positions only embolden your opponents. Now we see congressional Democrats doing the same thing with ICE. Abortion is a human right. ICE must be abolished; it's fascist and deadly. There should be no wavering on either.

if bovino is out and conservatives are turning on noem then there is a real opportunity to demand that miller resign too.

Geraldo Lunas Campos, a Cuban man imprisoned an ICE concentration camp, was murdered when guards essentially choked him to death. His name should be on our signs, too. Geraldo should be alive, with his family, in his home. Instead, our federal government murdered him because he was an immigrant.

All the anti-war and anti-occupation protestors were right. All the far leftists were right. All the “woke scolds” and your friend who’s “too woke” were right. They were somehow even more right than they may have realized at the time. But really, it was always obvious they were right.

What's the plan, Chuck? I run a fake news website. You're the Senate Minority Leader. What's the plan?

A group of fascist terrorists are hunting and murdering innocent people at the behest of the federal government. The time for statements of condemnation is gone. Any elected official who wrings their hands yet refuses to take action against ICE is abetting this terror and should be voted out ASAP.

NEW: After doctors sent her home with a racing heart, Ciji Graham came to believe the best way to protect her health was to end her pregnancy. But new restrictions in NC and nearby states made finding an abortion provider difficult. www.propublica.org/article/nort...

Sports are made up. The "rules" of sports are made up, and they change all the time. Baseball introduced a pitch clock in 2023 and the NFL implemented the Dynamic Kickoff rule this past year. There is no immutable code that says that only cis people can play sports. It's just bigotry.

even ignoring all other evidence showing that trans sports bans are about discriminating against trans people, not protecting cis women... I'm supposed to believe that the Supreme Court that overturned Roe v. Wade and has two justices credibly accused of sexual misconduct cares about womens rights?

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.

We don’t need to compare what happened in Minneapolis to Nazi Germany. We can compare it to what has happened in Minneapolis before.

ICE isn't just a terror squad--it's a white supremacist death squad. ICE murdered someone today and it won't be the last murder they commit. It is imperative that state and local leaders REFUSE to cooperate in any way with ICE and put their resources into protecting immigrant communities.

Kentucky State Police charged a woman with "fetal homicide" after she allegedly used abortion pills bought online—despite the fact that the statute explicitly exempts pregnant people from charges. But her mugshot is all over the internet including People fucking magazine www.wkyt.com/2026/01/02/k...

🚨🚨 SCOOP @ms.now : The Department of Veteran Affairs has quietly implemented its abortion ban following a DOJ memo issued last week. This will affect 9 million veterans and their dependents, and has been a long time coming: It was outlined in Project 2025. Read/share 👇

There's no such thing as "conservative feminism." There's no such thing as "conservative feminism." There's no such thing as "conservative feminism." There's no such thing as "conservative feminism." There's no such thing as "conservative feminism." There's no such thing as "conservative feminism."

“These videos aren’t produced by OB-GYNs or scientists. They aren’t based on medical information. By using a seemingly anodyne tactic in order to cunningly and covertly attack abortion rights, they are a sinister tool of anti-abortion propaganda.” — @laurenarankin.bsky.social

Abortion opponents have realized that they've lost public opinion among adults. Now, they're trying to brainwash children by mandating that schools show junk science videos about fetal development. And it's already the law in several states. My latest at @truthout.org: truthout.org/articles/gop...

if you want to defend the working class? buy out a street vendor’s cart so they don’t have to choose between their income or kidnapping by ICE

NEW: Recordings from a crisis pregnancy center conference, shared exclusively with Autonomy News, reveal that anti-abortion physicians are reluctant to prescribe abortion pill “reversal”—even as the conservative legal movement uses the supposed treatment to expand CPCs’ free speech rights.

Good news: y’all have already raised $300! Bad news: she’s measured further along and the cost has gone up. She needs a total of $3,400 now in addition to the $1,000 we already pledged. Our goal is now $2,500 to raise for her and we will cover the rest of the balance.

Just a reminder that mifepristone is incredibly safe and has been approved by the FDA for a quarter of a century. You can purchase medication abortion (mifepristone and misoprostol) online and have it shipped to your home through @aidaccess.bsky.social. Mifepristone has a shelf life of 5 years.

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

Vaccine deniers have learned from abortion opponents that you can ban health care without actually making it illegal––stigmatize it and make it inaccessible. It's meant to make us distrust science and disbelieve what we see with our own eyes. My latest for @truthout.org: truthout.org/articles/fda...

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...

Abortion opponents have firebombed and shot up abortion clinics. They've murdered 11 abortion providers and stalked, harassed, and terrorized untold others. I personally have been doxxed, threatened, and stalked. They aren't interested in talking to us. They hate us. They want us dead. Literally.

So many 'progressive' orgs behave like this and it sucks. People work here because they believe the work is important and they get treated like garbage while their employers talk a big public game about how great they are.

The Board of @apiaryps.bsky.social just surprise-fired their entire staff (amazing, dedicated folks) and put the organization on "pause" because the Board hated that the staff demanded they live up to actual RJ values. I saw this firsthand working with Apiary. I'm disgusted but not surprised.

Prominent anti-abortion operatives are deeply entangled in a wrongful death lawsuit filed by a woman in Texas, and it doesn't quite pass the smell test. For @truthout.org, I wrote about how abortion opponents may have found a new avenue to attack medication abortion. truthout.org/articles/wro...

"We're all throwing dildos at women athletes to promote our memecoin" really puts a fine point on not just how sexist, mean and stupid so much of right now is, but also the grim degree to which we're just inundated with Stuff a 15-Year-Old Dipshit Would Think is Cool. A confederacy of Beavises.

"It’s time to think beyond the courts; not to abandon the judiciary as a tool, but instead to reframe what justice looks like, and how we can create it for ourselves and our communities."

This is a BIG deal and people need to be following this - If it goes to the Supreme Court, it could allow states to go over the FDA and ban whatever medication they want to ban. (including hormones/surgeries for trans people)
