Today marks the third anniversary of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. What's happened since? A record number of women have been prosecuted. Pregnancy loss is now considered extremely suspicious, even when it has nothing to do with abortion.

They pit us against each other so that they can rob us blind while we fight over the literal scraps.

There are no tariffs being put on Russia. Hmmm

CSPI is joining the @aclu.org, the American Public Health Association, and others in filing a lawsuit challenging the abrupt cancellation of research grants by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). (1/2)

A beautiful peace of writing.

I’m inclined to think that we would be better off if there were more white male *readers.*

I got a high-energy, super-smart puppy who needs a ton of attention and interaction every day... and I don't answer calls or texts because [gestures at everything]. This is Sweet Potato.

The HHS rule banning trans care from many ACA plans is open for public comment now. Only 3 comments so far. Embarrassing how the media is completely ignoring this. There's likely over 200,000 trans people on ACA plans (1% of 24 million) www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...

Sometimes I get frustrated with my level of distractibility but then I remember THERE IS A COUP HAPPENING. FASCISM IS HERE. So I give myself grace:) 🦋

MAHA is eugenics dressed up as an Instagram influencer, pass it on.

The Trump Regime has deleted DOJ guidance to businesses on complying with the Americans With Disabilities Act. 25% of Americans live with a disability. Trump cannot delete the ADA, and he cannot delete disabled Americans. We are not going back to asylums and sanitariums.

White supremacists hiding the achievements of non-white people is a pretty good indication that they know white people aren’t supreme.

Just a reminder that when the Trump people refer to "Marxism" they mean it the way jeering segregationists protesting the integration of schools meant it. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

all i’m saying is that dorothy zbornak and beyonce might be the same person: thread

My advice for fellow introverts who are hesitant to get out from behind the keyboard and get involved. Set your fears aside and do it. Go to a rally. Attend a meeting. Dip your toe in the water. Nothing helps wash away the despair like being around others who are as concerned as you are.

oh is it bad when you put people out of work for political reasons

At some point the press needs to stop adopting right-wing framing that this is a "DEI purge" and call it what it is — white supremacist violence against our collective past. www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/...

what the entire deep-fried fuck

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

The headlong rush was one of the most visceral experiences portrayed in Prophet Song. Everything moved so fast. A common refrain was "that's not legal," or "that's not how we've ever done things." But the government had allotted to itself special powers (because of the crisis they perceived), so 🤷‍♂️.

"Beneath the appearance of a surface, it holds in reserve a volume, folds, a labyrinth whose walls return the echo of the voice or song that it carries itself; for paper also has the range or ranges of a voice bearer." - Derrida, "Paper or Me, You Know..." from Paper Machine

The @nytimes.com is garbage

This is where you go to tell the National Park Service to restore the word "transgender" in its entry on the Stonewall monument. (Scroll down.)

Deny unanimous consent for everything. Make them debate every light-bulb change.

Why does all this upheaval say “time to be shitty to Black and First Nations people!” to these jerks

Woke White House bans AP from event over deadnaming the Gulf of Mexico. www.newsweek.com/reporter-bar...

What we’re seeing is not the pendulum swinging back toward the right after the left went too far. We’re seeing a moral panic, a society-wide assault on a phantom leftist who wants to ban Dr. Seuss and arrest you for using the wrong pronouns and put kitty litter boxes in classrooms.

can somebody just pay me a living wage to keep being awesome, please?

I wrote about Kendrick Lamar Superbowl performance-- its subversive messaging about America being a rigged, deadly game of survival-- especially for Black people. But we need to stop pretending revolution is going to come from celebrities. It'll come from us. Gift link here: wapo.st/42JVBs6

On top of everything they are so tacky

As a former Ohioan, I'm very proud of the folks in Columbus sacrificing all that soup for their families to chase out Patriot Front. Keep punching Nazis, y'all. Or throwing cans of kidney beans, whatever does the job.

It's really embarassing losing our democracy to people this fucking weird and gross.

I've written one essay about returning to writing and grief and hid it under the guise of talking about Magic: the Gathering. One of the first things I published after deciding to write again. Here it is, in @electriclit.bsky.social, from almost 10 years ago: electricliterature.com/the-phases-l...

when the Backstreet Boys asked "am I original?" they were referring to KFC original recipe fried chicken but when they then asked "am I sexual?" you guessed it, also KFC original recipe fried chicken

Thousand year Reich lasted 12 years and ended with a gunshot on a couch, never let them forget

This administration is abusive. It wants you miserable and broken so you’re easier to control. And it will magnify every misery in unhealthy relationships. Please give yourself the gift of letting those go. You deserve a measure of peace and people who are good to you as we attempt to survive this

poetry is good, you were only conditioned to hate it

I paid $10.99 plus tax for 12 eggs today, AMA

lotta canaries suddenly keeling over

you ever think about how at the start of the civil war union folks thought everything was for show and picnicked at the first battle but everyone got there and realized the rebels were serious about killing people so everyone ran away?

FBI agents who investigated Jan. 6 and President Donald Trump’s now-dismissed classified documents case have reached a delicate agreement on how to stop the immediate public release of their identifying information. Story to come for HuffPost.
