Greatly looking forward to participating in this wonderful festival!

Greatly looking forward to participating in the Brattleboro Literary Festival!

Thank you @jennieindc.bsky.social for such a stimulating conversation @dsc250.bsky.social @carolejoffe.bsky.social

I highly recommend their book After Dobbs: How the Supreme Court Ended Dobbs, but Not Abortion. Get your copy here: bookshop.org/p/books/afte...

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

AP's reporting on GA may confuse readers. It says pro-lifers are divided on personhood bills. That's true of bills authorizing punishment of women but NOT of the idea of personhood, which is what is driving events in Georgia. This isn't an outlier. apnews.com/article/preg...

Watch this discussion with @carolejoffe.bsky.social and @[email protected] about their new book After Dobbs. In introducing the conversation, @jessicavalenti.bsky.social writes, "In a moment when everything feels so difficult, this chat gave me a lot of hope."

Looking forward to our conversation @jessicavalenti.bsky.social @ansirh.bsky.social @dsc250.bsky.social

I just need 28 more dolls and I'm done for the year.

Finally!

holy shit Rümeysa Öztürk has been released! may all others kidnapped alongside her be released also and may their prison burn and may the social order that built these prisons come to ash with it

Despite Texas' abortion ban, thousands of people have found ways to get the care they need, with the help of abortion funds and providers. @carolejoffe.bsky.social and @dsc250.bsky.social talked about documenting this network of support in their new book on @texaspublicradio.bsky.social

“People who don’t want to be pregnant will always search for abortion. This is a historical constant across societies.” — @carolejoffe.bsky.social #ReproJustice @motherjones.com

"Almost everything we describe in our book tells the story of resistance and resilience in the face of injustice." @carolejoffe.bsky.social on her new book with @dsc250.bsky.social, After Dobbs: How the Supreme Court Ended Roe But Not Abortion

The interview subjects go by their real names in @carolejoffe.bsky.social and @dsc250.bsky.social’s AFTER DOBBS instead of going by pseudonyms. Given the crisis, they want people to know the effect of Dobbs and how to mitigate the effects of Dobbs. #ReproJustice

"'What I’ve seen with Hegseth – never in my life have I ever seen this,' the former senior official said of the regular presence of the secretary’s wife..." www.cnn.com/2025/04/23/p...

There’s a need to celebrate people who are keeping essential healthcare like abortion running while dealing with all the nonsense thrown at them. @carolejoffe.bsky.social and @dsc250.bsky.social’s AFTER DOBBS does just that! @rewirenewsgroup.com

Agreed @dsc250.bsky.social ! Many thanks to @msmsagazine.com for great interview about After Dobbs @carolejoffe.bsky.social

What a joy to talk to the very smart and very funny @abortionfront.bsky.social !

NASHVILLE today…

"Unlike the chat in which The Atlantic was included, the newly revealed one was created by Hegseth. Named “Defense | Team Huddle,” it included his wife and about a dozen other people.... He used his private phone, not his government one, to access the Signal chat." www.nytimes.com/2025/04/20/u...

Senator Murkowski, become an Independent! Please keep speaking out!

Thank you @juliannemcshane.bsky.social for interviewing dsc250.bsky.social and me about our new book. @carolejoffe.bsky.social

Saturday’s Trump protests weren’t perfect. But they brought a glimmer of hope | Moira Donegan

I lost my job, my kids have measles, and I had to drive my parents 200 miles to a Social Security office, but at least I know that immigrants are getting sent to torture prisons in El Salvador.

I spoke to a South Carolina woman today who is miscarrying - her fetus has no heartbeat - but the state's ban is preventing doctors from taking action. She has to walk around with a dead fetus for another week so she can get a FOURTH ultrasound. This is what bans do.

@carolejoffe.bsky.social says one of the inspiring stories of the post-Dobbs era is people who know they are needed. They have the training to do it. They have the technology to do it. There's some risk, but they're doing it anyway. #AbortionIsHealthcare

I don’t know how to say it more clearly. But being hypocritical is the point of power. It’s not being done despite of the rule violation but BECAUSE of it.

Thank you @dailykos.com and @davidpakman.bsky.social for shout out to After Dobbs

Echoing @dsc250.bsky.social thanks to @busboysandpoets.bsky.social for hosting us for book talk

Happy #BookBDay, @carolejoffe.bsky.social and @dsc250.bsky.social!🎉 AFTER DOBBS, which showcases the hard-working individuals have kept abortion afloat in the wake of Roe v. Wade’s destruction, “is a crucial book about democracy.”—Gloria Steinem #WomensHistoryMonth buff.ly/ReI199s

Thank you @amandamarcotte.bsky.social for this interview about our book, After Dobbs, published today

Walz: "I think we have to assume the very worst in everything this administration does, and we need to prepare for it."

Five days until publication date for my @beaconpress.bsky.social book with @carolejoffe.bsky.social all about how abortion numbers actually went UP after Roe was overturned. It's the story of resistance and resilience and the people on the ground who refuse to let fascism win. Pre-order now!

Thank you @busboysandpoets.bsky.social for hosting this event. Thank you @beaconpress.bsky.social for spreading the word.

Thank you Boomlawyered.bsky.social for great interview about After Dobbs, to be published on March 25 [email protected]

A patient once wrote to Dr. Warren Hern, "I can’t put into words my gratitude for your compassion during the hardest time in my life.” @carolejoffe.bsky.social wrote about his legacy of providing essential care and destigmatizing abortion in @msmagazine.com

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

“The contrast between Cecile’s life work and commitments and those of the person inaugurated, the same day of her death, as the president of the United States could not be more enormous.” — @carolejoffe.bsky.social #RestInPeace

This article hints at some steps to saving science from MAGA: scientists have to throw "woke" overboard, stop using the words "climate change" to describe their research on -- checks notes -- climate change, and promise to help America stay competitive. Fingers crossed!

What a great idea @beaconpress.bsky.social ! @ansirh.bsky.social @carolejoffe.bsky.social

Thank you @beaconpress.bsky.social for your support of books about abortion at this fateful moment @carolejoffe.bsky.social

"Trump is demanding protection money. Pay him, and you won’t be subject to the president using the weight of the federal government to wreck your company. Pay him, and you won’t be subject to ceaseless frivolous litigation filed in Trump-friendly courts."

You are MEMBERS OF CONGRESS. If they threaten you with arrest for trying to access a site you are lawfully entitled to access, YOU MAKE THEM FUCKING ARREST YOU. YOU MAKE THEM SLAP THE CUFFS ON A CONGRESSMAN LIVE ON TV, YOU MAKE THEM FUCKING DO IT.
