Germany recently passed incremental liberalisations to its abortion law. Yet access to abortion remains under threat, and far-right and conservative forces blocked its partial legalisation. Lisa Brünig explains how these processes are symptomatic of broader democratic backsliding.

"The Price of Safety: Stories of Abortions Denied, Careers Disrupted, and States Left Behind" details the human and economic toll of abortion bans. The anthology uses stories from patients, doctors, business leaders, and others to show the real-world consequences of abortion bans.

They blew through $93 billion. WTF. This is taxpayer money. #USDemocracy newrepublic.com/post/207555/...

Warnock: "We heard tonight the rumblings of a desperate man who's trying to present case he can for the midterms. It was half lies, half grievances. He knows he is quickly losing power."

Detained women sounded the alarm about 8 pregnant women being hidden at the Dilley concentration camp in Texas. Rep Joaquin Castro visited the facility today and learned of their existence. #Dilley #ResistRacism @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social

Ossoff: "If you live in a major democracy, and the nation's spy chief is showing up at raids on sensitive election sites, something has gone wrong."

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

The "Save America Act" is voter suppression dressed up as patriotism. It targets naturalized citizens, trans Americans, tribal citizens, and natural disaster victims with extra barriers. Don't let the name fool you. #StopTheSaveAct social.demcast.com/s/E6pY6wne

Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.” Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

Atlanta heads up. They are here. You need to carry your birth certificate if possible otherwise passport or any proof of citizenship. They are taking citizens to meet their quota if you don’t have something right away

The first sale of Venezuelan oil went to a guy who donated $6 million to Trump. The proceeds are now in a bank in Qatar.

Obama nailed it here. 🔥

Atlanta is gearing up for session !

My sister sent this to me. I believe in you too, little clot.

A friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.

Bravest motherfuckers you've ever seen. They just saw a neighbor get murdered and still out there. Maybe let's see some local officials with the power to arrest show as much backbone as these voters PAYING YOUR FUCKING SALARY

Whoa! 🚨 BREAKING: The Atlantic is reporting that Trump just threatened the VP of Venezuela. TRUMP: “If she doesn’t do what’s right, she’s going to pay a very big price, probably bigger than Maduro.” So if she doesn’t go along with the get-along and give the US their oil, he’s coming for her too.

So… taking Venezuela blockades oil for Cuba and Iran and Putin won’t care because Trump will stop aiding Ukraine thus giving Trump the America’s and Europe to Putin. And XI won’t mind if the US doesn’t intervene with them taking Taiwan ? This has been the dictator dog whistles? Maybe I’m wrong

It’s the United States that needs regime change.

To the poets and the writers, to the rogue investigators and followers of ICE. To the protectors of The Dolls . To the community organizers and the sole people with a sign in their red county. To everyone standing up in their own way in the US. I love you. I see you. You keep me going
