some of the data

nytimes opinion writer talked to actual experts, who produced actual data about actual incidents of terroristic violence to demonstrate that those on the far-right have killed far more people in far more attacks than attackers on the left. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/16/o...

Despite Trump's claims, data shows that right-wing extremists are far more violent than those on the left. And the origins of today's far-right insurrectionism lie in the anti-abortion movement. I spoke with Carol Mason for @thenation.com: www.thenation.com/article/soci...

AP News: ‘We fled to the street': Palestinian family puts up tent at roadside after dispersal from Gaza City. The Gazans are forced to flee their makeshift homes as they face renewed attack. They have no aid and no shelter. Please give to my friend Tasneem and others. 🙏💕 tinyurl.com/Tasneemo

Amazing that this is somehow real. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/09...

"What might be more surprising is how closely Trump’s view of the prerogatives and entitlements of abusive husbands towards their abused wives mirror his own sense of his prerogatives and entitlements as president towards his abused country." @moiradonegan.bsky.social on Trump:

UPDATE AGAIN: After getting turned away at the first CVS, I was able to get my Covid shot at a different CVS in Boston. So it seems…widespread confusion! But shots are indeed happening in MA. I recommend calling the pharmacy first.

I deleted my original post on Covid shots in MA because I didn’t want to spread misinformation. I was able to book a Covid vaccine appt at CVS in Boston this morning but when I got there they said they couldn’t give me the shot.

UPDATE: Despite letting me make an appointment online, the pharmacist at CVS just informed me that they are NOT offering Covid shots in MA rn. Get it together, Massachusetts!

"The reality remains that under patriarchy and under rape culture and under abortion bans, all survivors and all abortion seekers are dehumanized and denied agency by their abuser or by the state," Kylie Cheung tells @amylittlefield.bsky.social in a new Q&A.

New research shows Idaho lost one in three obstetricians after its abortion ban took effect About half of those OBs left the state—and none moved to states with abortion bans, the lead author says. More evidence that abortion bans impact other forms of health care. New @motherjones.com:

@amylittlefield.bsky.social spent time with providers and patients in abortion clinics to capture and share the truth about abortion later in pregnancy—which is that it is a necessary, compassionate form of healthcare provision. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Our new episode features @amylittlefield.bsky.social discussing her article for The Nation, “What Would It Mean to Defend All Abortions?,” alongside @garinwastaken.bsky.social, co-founder of @patientforward.bsky.social, who highlights the importance of protecting access to later-abortion care.

NEW: A JAMA study finds that "between August 2022 and December 2024 ... Idaho lost 94 of the 268 OBGYN physicians practicing obstetrics." Just 20 new OBGYNs moved to Idaho in that time, "and 114 of the 268 baseline obstetricians" stopped practicing, left the state, or retired.

Since the Dobbs decision, the only real changes in Alabama has been to make it easier to dissolve parental rights and to make it easier and have less oversight over foster care and adoption. All contracts go through the state. Last week a contractor left a toddler in a car and killed him. Now this.

This violates R.I. Gen. Laws § 11‑24‑2.3 on its face which provides protections for gender identity in public accommodations in Rhode Island. Brown University is openly admitting it will brazenly violate Rhode Island state law. I expect lawsuits will follow.

This week, we spoke with @amylittlefield.bsky.social about her article for ‪The Nation, "What Would It Mean to Defend All Abortions?," alongside @garinwastaken.bsky.social, co-founder of @patientforward.bsky.social, to discuss the importance of protecting access to abortion care later in pregnancy.

Wonderful news Amy, and kudos to your dad. Every book, every willful act of imagination is a tremendous gift to the world as you know.

NEW: Multiple Planned Parenthood affiliates are telling patients with Medicaid that they can no longer accept their insurance for any service because of the recent budget bill. But the bill provision “defunding” large abortion providers doesn’t take effect until October 1

NEW: The American Association of Pro-Life OBGYNs has sent a letter to HHS and the FDA asking for a reinstatement of pre-2016 restrictions on the abortion pill mifepristone, which would limit its use to just seven weeks of pregnancy and require in-person distribution and follow up.

I'm grateful that this latest @propublica.org report finally acknowledges that Catholic hospitals have long sent miscarrying patients home rather than treat them -- a practice that is now happening all across Texas, with life-threatening ramifications. (1/3) www.propublica.org/article/texa...

INBOX: @runforsomething.net reports that more than 6,000 people have reached out to them about running for local office in the week since Zohran Mamdani's upset victory. That's the largest surge since their founding in 2017. Something's happening!

We were able to send $525 to Ghassan today. THANK YOU to everyone who contributed!

I know there are a million fundraisers out there, but every little bit helps fend off the despair. I've verified this one. Ghassan and his family need help to buy food and rebuild their lives. Please contribute if you can: chuffed.org/project/1373...

I trust @amylittlefield.bsky.social's vetting, and she vetted Ghassan's fundraiser. Can you match me giving $100 tonight? Or even $20? chuffed.org/project/1373...

Kitsap County's only hospital, St. Michael's Medical Center, is a Catholic institution.

There are many stories to tell about the three years since Dobbs. One of them is this: the number of abortions actually increased as blue states and providers rose to the challenge. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Hey NYC, @rebeccaggrant.bsky.social has written a stellar and HOPEFUL new book about the networks that are keeping abortion access afloat post-Dobbs. Come join us for a conversation on Wednesday!

In 2018, I reported on a remarkable environmental justice activist named Maritza Lopez. She led the community's response to decades of toxic pollution in East Chicago, Indiana, though she herself suffered from a laundry list of 40 conditions and took 23 meds. rewirenewsgroup.com/2018/08/31/m...

New York friends, please join me and Rebecca Grant in NYC on June 25 for a discussion of her new book, Access! communitybookstore.net/events/46572

“It’s like fire; you can’t undo the discovery." @carolejoffe.bsky.social and her "After Dobbs" co-author @dsc250.bsky.social talk about how abortion isn't going away. Read more from @amylittlefield.bsky.social in @thenation.com

Reading this by @amylittlefield.bsky.social about the rise in abortion # post-Dobbs has renewed my gratitude for the failure of SB 2880, which could have hindered the manufacturing and distribution of mifepristone. #txlege www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Thank you @amylittlefield.bsky.social for.such an interesting conversation about the impact of Dobbs.

There are two ways to summarize the three years since Dobbs. One is a story of unmistakable tragedy. The other, less discussed, is one of staggering triumph. I talked with @carolejoffe.bsky.social and @dsc250.bsky.social about their book After Dobbs: www.thenation.com/article/soci...
