I do find this insistence on contingency and hedging survivors’ accounts really tedious. Andrew Cuomo was found to have sexually harassed Lindsay Boylan—and many others—by the New York Attorney General.

What is the relevance of marriage within the realm of family formation and births among US women? How off the press in @readdemography.bsky.social - Kristen L Burke investigates read.dukeupress.edu/demography/a...

This is why I go so hard about studying entertainment as politically relevant media. Viewers may be learning about these issues for the first time, or connecting to what they’ve already experienced. And how they make sense of entertainment as politically relevant will affect what happens next.

This case is very important. It speaks to privacy, child abuse, unregulated tech, and to how we treat sex crimes. In an American public that is both highly sexualized, yet deeply restrictive in terms of the sexual wellbeing and autonomy of young people... www.nytimes.com/2026/04/08/o...

The president will take time out of his busy schedule of overseeing an illegal war, sending ICE to airports, and designing a ballroom to try to intimidate justices into upholding his policy that could put immigration agents in every labor and delivery ward in the US

Every year April fools gets me - I’m unfortunately a very literal person!!

I have seen a touch of confusion in the reporting and discussion around our recent study on AYA request for medication abortion from an online telemedicine service particularly in the context of new research from theGuttmacher team on the persistent increase in folks using telehealth for abortion

June Jordan said, "Activism... propels you forward, from one hard hour to the next. Believing that you can do something to make things better, you do something, rather than nothing... You do whatever you can. You reach beyond yourself in your imagination, and in your wish for understanding.“

If you're engaged in organizing that needs more people to join, share those opportunities in every way you can. Invite people to join in. Keep making the invitations because most people don't join the first time you ask. For every 10 people you invite, you might get one person who will take it up.

In this @us.theconversation.com op-ed, @danamartha.bsky.social (@wisccore.bsky.social) and @lauralindberg.bsky.social (@rutgerssph.bsky.social) break down their research on how teens are accessing abortion pills via telehealth, why it matters, and what further research is needed. Read their piece:

Important new data insights from @imaddowzimet.bsky.social @kimyaf.bsky.social @guttmacher.org Telehealth remains essential With what seems to be fewer people traveling to abortion supportive states for care, and more folks accessing abortion via telehealth www.guttmacher.org/report/full-...

“I never got to hold her.” Those are DACA recipient Juan Chavez Velasco's words. He was driving to visit his baby in the NICU when ICE detained him. Juan told agents his DACA status. They said, "that doesn’t matter." Trump is abandoning Dreamers. Congress can't let this go on.

Are we all going to watch Kneecap tonight or…

1/2. He took the greatest military force in history, lost a war to a middle power in a week, begged the world to save him, & demanded the media lie about this & everything else. I try, but at a simple human level I do not see how anyone mistakes this man’s almost supernatural weakness for strength.

Postdocing is not a lucrative endeavor, and the precarity (job, funding, future, blech) has driven me mad in the last two years... But every day that I can work on cool shit with incredible people - I feel grateful.

"The most recent employment data from 2023 revealed that 68% of faculty positions were now non-tenure-track, contingent, or adjunct in some capacity. In 1987, only 47% were. Only 37% percent of higher ed institutions offer adjunct health care benefits." 🫣 www.patreon.com/posts/152879...

“The stories they had heard inside: a 19-year-old pregnant woman who was not getting enough to eat and was told by a doctor 3 weeks ago that her baby was not growing; a toddler with an untreated, infected tooth; complaints about the water making people sick; a woman vomiting blood”

Let me just say that having been there, the idea of being a Black woman in labor in America and having to go before a judge is terrorism.

Josh Hawley named his bill to ban the abortion drug mifepristone nationwide the "Safeguarding Women from Chemical Abortion Act." Abortion is safer at any stage of pregnancy than giving birth, but fascists act as if pregnant people need protection from abortion www.hawley.senate.gov/wp-content/u...

Such a pleasure speaking to @carrienbaker.bsky.social and @msmagazine.com about our research - new in @jamahealthforum.com ! This piece also has key information on the history of parental involvement laws - and links to the excellent @hrw.org report on the harms of such laws.

It may seem odd that a Supreme Court seemingly willing to stick its nose into the middle of just about every legal and policy issue has effectively closed the door to litigating the legality of the U.S. war against Iran. As today’s “One First” explains, though, it set that precedent during Vietnam:

Abbott elementary continues to keep me sane

NEW: The FDA just outlined the ways it could restrict the abortion drug mifepristone during its horseshit "safety" review. The first? RFK Jr. has the power to immediately suspend the approval of drugs that he deems “an imminent hazard to the public health” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I truly do think all of the "Noem out, Mullin in" posts and stories are failing American democracy right now! Trump is announcing his nominee. That's it. If the Senate majority wants to confirm him, they're a part of this—even after knowing what they know now. And that matters come November.

Did you know Latino men have the US’s highest risk of new HIV infections? They are 72% more likely to be diagnosed than the general population—and in Minneapolis, they are skipping clinic visits for fear of ICE, report @cameronoakes.bsky.social & @unclosetedmedia.bsky.social
