National news outlets calling the Star Tribune "the Minnesota star" 🙄

Rest in power to Keith Porter who was murdered by an ICE agent in Los Angeles. It’s terrible that his name is just now being circulated, but now that it is, continue to say his name.

a major american city is being forced to close schools because armed government agents are raiding and pepper spraying and terrorizing children and teachers for social media content

The woman killed by ICE was Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year old who was the mother of a 4-year old child whose father already died a few years ago. The Star Tribune talked to her mother. www.startribune.com/she-was-an-a...

MAHA is weaponizing fertility awareness based methods to undermine access to the full spectrum of reproductive health care (e.g., other forms of contraception, abortion, IVF, Title X). Here, I argue that FABMs must be grounded in evidence & reproductive justice: www.healthaffairs.org/content/fore...

I realize I am many months past the approproiate window for having a take, but watched Materialist on the plane home and... A movie that could have been about gender, power, and sexual violence... really just focused on material income (salary)? Many missed opportunities for a clearer leap

Users who navigate to Women on Web via ChatGPT complete abortion pill consultations at higher rates than those who come through avenues like Google search, Facebook, or even Reddit.. Makes sense over Google, Facebook, but Reddit hmmm..curious about the age breakdown mashable.com/article/chat...

Whooooeeee what a year it has been. I hope we all have an immense amount of rest on the otherside. If i owe you something (I know) I'm sorry - we are barely scraping by over here folks!!!

"Pronatalists worry that low birth rates mean 'fewer and fewer people to discover new ideas'—but having more babies risks derailing the careers of already-born women today." newrepublic.com/article/2040...

Disappointing that @thehill.com Opinion is publishing work intentionally misrepresent the (excellent) safety profile of misoprostol used for abortion Let's be super clear: Misoprostol is safe and highly effective at terminating pregnancy - it is a magical medication, for decades used globally

Few of us fell for the "they won't go for birth control" fake out, but in case you need even more evidence... @maryrziegler.bsky.social lays it out for us slate.com/news-and-pol...

Actual text from the 22-23 NSFG User's Guide. They're basically saying DO NOT COMPARE TIME TRENDS ACROSS CYCLES.

Am I the only one who is a little skeptical of the 20-24 numbers given NSFGs response rate drop off?

Last week I spoke with Nina Sun and the Sexual and Reproductive Health Matters Journal team about some of my disseration research! What true joy. Listen here 🔗 Spotify: lnkd.in/dbaR-55i Apple Podcasts: lnkd.in/d22jiUeb

my bestie @murphyanne.bsky.social always reminds me to pay myself first - manifesting this week as we weather another horrific political storm, and somehow still end up doing the good work

The largely avoidable and utterly tragic aftermath of the Hill Country flooding, plus resurrecting legislation on the THC ban, abortion pills, and beyond 😔 www.texastribune.org/2025/07/09/a...

They are obsessed with ensuring suffering and death upon the american people

A new ProPublica data analysis adds empirical weight to the mounting evidence that abortion bans have made the common experience of miscarriage — which occurs in up to 30% of pregnancies — far more dangerous.

New from @wisconsinexaminer.com on how Dobbs has impacted all obstetric care "More than 100 hospitals across 26 states have closed labor and delivery services since 2020" With pending Medicaid cuts & further hospital closures, where will people go? wisconsinexaminer.com/2025/07/01/r...

FINALLY!!! This has been a FIGHT and an important reminder that state supreme court justice races have critical public health implications! Amazing new for Wisconsinites who need abortion care 💓💓💓💓💓 www.jsonline.com/story/news/p...

If you're an #EmergencyMedicine doctor in these states, COVID 2020 would have been walk in the park: 1. Texas (80 closures, 30 imminent) 2. Kansas (62 closures, 31 imminent) 3. Oklahoma (39 closures, 26 imminent) 4. Mississippi (35 closures, 25 imminent) www.beckershospitalreview.com/finance/703-...

Senate Republicans just passed Trump’s bullshit of a bill—and it’s even uglier than before. — At least 16 million could lose healthcare
— Trillions will be added to the deficit
— Hospitals will close
— Children will go hungry Now it comes back to the House. (1/2)

💓💓💓💓💓

As mifepristone continues to be threatened (read: RFK Jr's baseless/insane claims about safety) more folks are considering the role of misoprostol-only medication abortion regimens in the US Well happy Monday folks because I have *two* new studies out for you: (1/4)

My friend commented on my use of Garamond recently and low key it is because circa 2019 I met @albertsonb2.bsky.social in a coffee shop in Austin and she mentioned it was the most effective font lol

I love getting people's out of office reply - get out of here!! I picture them sailing in Mallorca or hiking them in Alaska and far as hell away from the draft I am already way to late sending them

Let’s be clear that abortion can be effectively banned in this country without Congress passing a law but as a result of multiple moves that make it impossible to access. The intent of today’s Supreme Court ruling—and of Trump’s budget bill—is to shutter as many abortion clinics as possible

I was there in Texas when this pernicious process got started. I went down to the legislature to testify with my little fact sheets and my evidence and I have been studying what happened in Texas now for over a decade. We know how this plays out.

You can read more about the devastating public health impacts of this ruling in this op-ed Terri-Ann Thompson and @danamartha.bsky.social wrote for The Hill in April ➡️ thehill.com/opinion/...

So, don't be misled by reports that claim SCOTUS "saved" birthright citizenship... they are missing the point. The Court will likely narrow the circumstances under which universal injunctions may issue, thereby hindering lower courts' ability to rein in the administration. A BIG win for POTUS.

We've discussed this a bunch on @strictscrutiny.bsky.social. SCOTUS's opinion tomorrow will not address the substantive question of whether 14A confers birthright citizenship. It'll address whether and in what circumstances universal injunctions are an appropriate judicial remedy. . . .

From Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson's dissent in South Carolina vs. PP South Atlantic: “The project of stymying one of the country’s great civil rights laws continues.”

I know that this is going to be lost in the roar of big players but there are other clinics with a majority of patients who are Medicaid recipients - and this ruling opens up the avenue for states to refuse to allow us to be approved providers of care. And we have far fewer resources to weather it.

New: SCOTUS *allows* states to defund Planned Parenthood, holding that Medicaid does not give patients a right to obtain care from its providers. Back in April Terri-Ann and I wrote about the public health implications of this ruling - and trust us…they are major thehill.com/opinion/5235...

SCOTUS this morning with the whiplash - we have a ruling in SC vs. Planned Parenthood South Atlantic

illegal war started by a man constitutionally ineligible to be president

Finishing proofs for a new paper on people’s experiences using misoprostol-only for self-managed abortion in the US I can’t * wait* for this to be out in the world!

Let's be clear: our collective failure to normalize abortion as vital healthcare (including among liberals) leaves abortion providers and pro-abortion legislators uniquely vulnerable. Sending love to Minnesota and especially to the Hortman and Hoffman families. www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

Love the clarity @ylepidemiologist.bsky.social is bringing to the latest update on #EMTALA and emergency abortion care Tell everyone you know. Share with your girls group chat. Trump admin rule changes are intended to confuse everyone it’s such a fucking sham

I love when I get to collaborate with my interdisciplinary colleagues at Pitt. We have a new paper out about how to mitigate the risks of FemTech post-Dobbs in Contraception. This link should provide 50 free days of access. authors.elsevier.com/c/1lDg~_FiCG...

I’m so pumped about this - @garnethenderson.com and @susanrinkunas.com are my fav journalists for all things Repro - couldn’t not hit subscribe faster!

In her first story for Autonomy News, @susanrinkunas.com examines the history—and present—of forced sterilization in the U.S., and the dangerous eugenic rhetoric coming from the White House.

I am once again screaming into the void to say that if you want to lower health care costs the answer isn’t purging 16 million from health insurance, the answer is a national health insurance system. It costs a hell of a lot less than whatever we’re doing. www.healthsystemtracker.org/chart-collec...

As with all anti-abortion fake science, the FDA ~ review ~ will turn up only what abortion opponents want to find, which will run counter to actual peer-reviewed science on medication abortion, which for over 20 years has again and again been proven safe and effective.

Where would I be without our UT alumn / bestie writing group?????

Denying lifesaving care, threatening doctors — Trump’s policies are deadly. And if women die because of them, that’s not a side effect. It’s his goal. apnews.com/article/abor... administration revokes guidance requiring hospitals to provide emergency abortions

‪“We should all be alarmed that the people in charge of our public health institutions are calling for a review of the science based on an unvetted and flawed report,” says @ushma.bsky.social on #RFK's plan to review the safety of #mifepristone. Read more from @nbcnews.com, Aria Bendix:
