If a doctor knew what medicine you needed to keep you alive and withheld it, they could be rightfully prosecuted under the law. This is the same thing, but much slower and with so much more suffering.

Yep. Because of you. If Trump was scared of being successfully prosecuted, again, MAYBE he'd hold back a little. But you saw to it that he cannot be held accountable. Good work, Mr. Chief Justice. www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

Last week, RFK Jr. directed the FDA to “review” the safety of mifepristone — an abortion medication we’ve known is safe and effective for years — based on a junk paper released by a Republican think tank. This isn’t about “safety,” it’s about further limiting bodily autonomy.

Oh great… what could possibly go wrong? I wonder if people on the autism registry will be given some sort of badge to help identify them. Maybe something like a black triangle. 😬

EQUALLY BELIEVABLE HEADLINES AT 4PM TODAY: “Dow Jones Industrial Average Skyrockets 6,200 Points In Heavy Trading” and “DJIA Now Just 5 Eggs & That Pizza Cutter You Keep Seeing On Temu.” Not an economist, but I don’t think this is a great way to run an economy.

Once these Let Billions Suffer voters see how gruesome letting billions suffer gets they will surely come crawling back to the Let Millions Suffer party and we’ll finally be able to win elections without catering to those troublesome Nobody Should Suffer radicals

Communications at the White House be like…

The country continues to shift toward anti-institutionalism. And they aren’t wrong to think that the institutions are broken. What we need to give them is a better solution than MAGA. Instead, all the Democratic Party is offering them is a promise to return to the stasis they voted against.

Happy Abortion Provider Appreciation Day to all my WHNP, FNP, midwife, and PA abortion provider friends and colleagues. I see you, I love you, and I appreciate you as you continue to do this work that we all bring our hearts to.

In the Venn diagram of right wing creeps, the circle of people who make idiotic WNBA jokes fits entirely within the circle of people suddenly very concerned with “protecting women’s sports?”

“You have to act as if it were possible to radically transform the world. And you have to do it all the time.” — Angela Davis

Where my midwives at? I know many of you have lots of feelings about the general lack of abortion training in your programs. Here’s a chance to make your voices heard and perhaps to help influence future curricula.

TRUTH

Because the first question shifts the blame to the desperate, making their morality the focus, while the second question demands accountability from the powerful. It's easier to question survival than to challenge greed.

Y'all see how the Eagles just beat the Chiefs ass. Very cutsey. Very demure. VERY DEI.

FR though

Stop pointing out that Biden deported more people, because: 1.) Don’t remind us how much he sucked. 2.) You want to encourage Trump to deport *more* people? and 3.) Historically, when tyrants figured out that mass deportation wasn’t “efficient” enough, they found other solutions. “Final solutions.”

The CDC’s LGBTQ health page is archived and will no longer be updated.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are no longer looking to control or treat STIs. (They have also pulled Medical Eligibility Criteria for birth control, and PrEP and PEP guidelines for HIV prevention, anticipating vaccine guidelines and schedule may also be removed shortly).

As someone who can identify with this statement I concur.

It is *once again* time to remind my colleagues that we are not agents of The State. We are servants of our communities. It is incumbent on every healthcare provider to educate themselves on how they participate in the perpetuation of State violence in medicine.

Reminded of and crying about the fact that Rev. Budde is also the person who provided Matthew Shepard's family with a safe haven for their son's remains. This is the person these fascists trying to brand themselves as Christians are targeting with hate, right now. www.npr.org/2018/10/26/6....

Can a headline alone be eligible for a Pulitzer?

What you need to know about Becket Law, the legal advocacy group that’s escalating the abortion crisis (and winning at the Supreme Court 8-0) FTA: all of this is so interconnected, (…)attacks against abortion access and contraceptive access and LGBTQ people(…)They’re being funded by the same people.

Republicans have posted their priority programs to slash. Biggest item? Medicaid It's likely the success or failure of Trump will hinge on the Medicaid fight. I want to talk a little bit about why Medicaid is so important, so everyone can be prepared to fight 🧵 www.politico.com/f/?id=000001...

"When Mexico sends its people, they're sending their best. They're sending firefighters to help solve American problems. They're bringing fire fighting uniforms. They're bringing fire fighting equipment. They're bringing kittens down from trees. And all, I assume, are good people."

Octavia Butler’s Parable of the Sower seems eerily prescient, with the fires in LA and a fascist incoming President who wants to "Make America Great Again." But Octavia Butler herself points out that predicting the future is more about being able to see what we are unwilling to face in the present

$1,131,794,901 That's how much Big Oil has spent over the last 30 years paying off Congress to look the other way on climate action while the planet burns. Well, the planet is burning. Don't let them look away.

Our friends at PRH came up with this fabulous list of resources and information as we all try to prepare for the incoming administration. I am so proud to work in a field with such passionate, dedicated folks. #solidarity #abortioncare #transgendercare #communitycare #harmreduction

as LA is burning, a swath of the country is recovering from an ice storm, Alabama is preparing for up to 6” of snow and I’m praying for the TX power grid, a reminder: we don’t need climate action just for future generations, we need it now. the climate crisis is here, all around us

When a liberal area suffers a climate change disaster, Republicans say “God is punishing them.” When a conservative area suffers a climate change disaster, Republicans say “Democrats control weather machines.” Must be hard going through life as a full-blown idiot.

While Trump is trolling Canada about annexing it, Canadians are in Los Angeles tonight dropping water on the Palisades fire. He’s a disgrace.

Who can relate?

“We’re in a very, very dangerous world right now, reminiscent of before world war two. Even the slogan is the same. ‘America First.’ That was what they said in the ’30s.” - Mitch McConnell Spare me the pearl clutching now, you sniveling coward. This is your damn fault.

There is no Planet B…

Shameful. Predatory. Greed.

We are headed for hell.

This response from @sbearbergman.bsky.social to @hildur.bsky.social’s post has changed my week— it is so wholesome, and human, and so the energy we all need right now. And Kerstin Langenberger, the naturalist who posted “I am on my way with the necessary equipment”? This woman is the hero we need.

I don’t understand why people think people in the [whatever] business will be good regulators of that business, rather than try to squeeze out every nickel. Bring me an AP History class and half a dozen retired tradespersons, every time.
