hate to see duval catching strays :(

Getting new details on this now: As the arrest unfolded, teachers pleaded with the agents telling them the teacher had a work permit. The agents went into multiple rooms looking for teachers while children were present. One teacher hid with a child in her care while the agents stormed the facility.

Raids inside day cares had been off limits until this year, when, on his first day in office, President Donald Trump removed that protection. The arrest reportedly took place in front of children. 19thnews.org/2025/11/chil...

Mamdani wins, per @decisiondeskhq.bsky.social - from @gracepanetta.bsky.social

Virginia has elected Ghazala Hashmi as the state’s next lieutenant governor, making her the first Muslim woman ever elected to statewide office in the United States. 19thnews.org/2025/11/virg...

State Sen. Ghazala Hashmi wins the VA lt gov race, @decisiondeskhq.bsky.social projects, making her the first Muslim woman elected to a statewide office *ever* in US history 19thnews.org/2025/11/virg...

Thinking what this will mean for STEM labs and departments, especially at places like UFlorida

Mamdani and Hochul have found common ground on universal child care — and their alliance underscores how Democrats are shifting away from treating it as a "woman's issue" to one that concerns all Americans. 19thnews.org/2025/10/mamd...

The government has promoted a birth boom while discouraging pregnant people from taking -SSRIs -COVID vaccines -Tylenol all going against medical consensus & evidence. We spoke to the people trying to keep their pregnancies healthy in the face of govt misinformation 19thnews.org/2025/10/preg...

Despite what JD Vance said, Muslims in America — and especially Muslim women — suffered real violence & harassment after 9/11. There's even research showing that pregnant Muslims suffered higher rates of preterm birth & low birth weight after 9/11 because of the stress induced by Islamophobia.

lindsey byman at the texas tribune is looking for some sources for a story on trans identity in texas k-12 schools. she's a great journalist. Help her out if you know someone who can speak to this. she's not here, so here's a screenshot of her post. her email is [email protected]

she knew that no one pursuing public office can ever escape their old posts youtu.be/QsFEaJRnPeU?...

If you know more about how ICE enforcement is affecting pregnant, postpartum or nursing people — including who is being detained and in what conditions — you can help us tell that story: 19thnews.org/2025/10/subm...

ICE’s own policies say the agency should not detain pregnant, postpartum or nursing individuals. It’s doing so anyway. Immigrants’ health is suffering. Congress has abandoned a requirement that ICE make public how many such immigrants have been detained. 19thnews.org/2025/10/ice-...

the president managed to earn lots of positive coverage for his IVF plan that will not help most people afford IVF www.vox.com/policy/46501...

Trump's big IVF announcement is a retreat from his campaign promise. It doesn't make IVF available for all. 1. Employers don't have to offer the "fertility benefit" it creates 2. The benefit doesn't have to cover IVF 3. It could cover the conservative alternatives criticized by mainstream med

NEW: The federal health office that runs the Title X family planning program was wiped out on Friday, but workers there remained in the dark until today because layoff notices were sent to email accounts they had already been locked out of. subscriber.politicopro.com/article/2025...

Fun fact: The Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded to women more than any other Nobel Prize category apnews.com/article/nobe...

An anti-abortion group is fundraising off @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social's suggestion that Democrats run anti-abortion candidates in swing states.

“My biggest fear is going to the hospital." Pregnant immigrants are terrified ICE will show up outside the doctors' office or at the hospital. So they're skipping the care necessary to ensure a healthy birth. Some experience dangerous complications as a result. 19thnews.org/2025/10/preg...

Relatable, Trevor

woke up this week from a dream that the PTA fan club saw One Battle at the AFI in 70mm … It was a prophecy

Maine Family Planning, one of the state's main Title X grantees, will shut down primary care after Oct 31 b/c of the law cutting it out of Medicaid. From the org: "MFP will continue seeing patients who need family planning care, regardless of insurance status, for as long as we are able."

For the first time since Dobbs, voters who say abortion is their top priority are more likely to opposite it, per new @19thnews.org poll. They're also likelier to back Trump. In general, fewer Americans call abortion their top issue. Most still say abortion should be legal in most or all cases.

“ABC and CBS are making a serious miscalculation. Their servility to Trump will not earn them peace, only greater pressure.” That’s the German professional association of journalists, @djv.de, calling on major US media to support their journalists instead of preemptively silencing them.

This is a really strong piece of journalism that captures what it actually feels like when ICE targets your neighborhood www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Fascinating new research from @caitlinmyers.bsky.social and others shows that when laws restrict abortion, we see a jump in property crimes such as car theft, burglary. It underscores how financially destabilizing unplanned pregnancy can be — and how ill-equipped our safety net is to address it.

RFK Jr.'s newly appointed members of a top vaccine advisory panel include an anti-abortion OBGYN from Louisiana who's spoken at Right to Life events and defended the state's abortion restrictions: www.wwno.org/public-healt... prolifelouisiana.org/addressing-p...

In a press call just now, Planned Parenthood CEO Alexis McGill Johnson confirmed that some affiliates — in places where abortion is otherwise available — may stop providing the service in an effort to preserve Medicaid funding. Full quote below, replying to a q from @cartersherman.bsky.social

An appeals court has allowed the Planned Parenthood defunding to take effect. The organization confirms that this means patients covered through Medicaid cannot use it to pay for health care. Decision is effective immediately. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

The surge of ICE arrests in DC is threatening the women who keep child care centers operational. One child care worker used to take kids to the library and local parks. It no longer feels safe to do so. “People don’t feel that freedom to walk through the streets.” 19thnews.org/2025/09/chil...

Jenny Lewis and Blake Sennett bantering about Silence of the Lambs will heal even the most hardened soul

The prominent 31-year-old media personality encouraged young women to have more babies, called for a ban on gender-affirming care and advocated for gun rights.

Kamala Harris calls the fall of Roe "a huge issue on which the president was not seeking to lead," and says Biden"struggled to talk about reproductive rights in a way that met the gravity of the moment." www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Health care providers are debating whether to send abortion pills into Texas once the state's new ban takes effect. “Every day it feels like it’s very tenuous,” one told me. If Texas can end telehealth abortion, other state legislatures are likely to follow. Patients will struggle to get care.

This is going to keep happening, and pregnant people’s health will be worse as a result 19thnews.org/2025/08/preg...

President Donald Trump downplayed the severity of domestic violence crimes, saying that were it not for “things that take place in the home they call crime,” the administration’s deployment of National Guard troops in Washington, D.C., would have resulted in a bigger statistical reduction in crime.

Shield laws and telehealth have helped tens of thousands of people get safe abortions since the fall of Roe, without having to travel across the country. But the clash between state laws means that eventually, SCOTUS will probably decide if this option can continue. 19thnews.org/2025/09/tele...
