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

$70 million dollars just for it to go to a run off 💀

OF NOTE

Two Kansans are suing in state court over the new law invalidating trans people's licenses & deputizing bathroom bounty hunters And they're arguing on state law grounds alone Kansas's anti-trans law violates federal law too, but federal courts can't be trusted ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/kansa...

Leaked documents show that Meta is cracking down on information about how to access abortion care - and its AI chatbot won’t discuss the subject with teens www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

This is a good example of the alternate civic sphere they have built. Their own institutions credentialing almost entirely for signal instead of skill. It’s not strange historically. Think being a member of a faith to become a professor at religious institutions.

Not Connecticut (a pro choice state! *gasp*!) quietly considering parental notification of minors who want to get an abortion 🙄 Time and time again lawmakers are willing to compromise on the human rights of young people (Reporting from @autonomynews.co ) www.cga.ct.gov/asp/cgabills...

Ilhan Omar is shouting "You have killed Americans" as Tlaib is saying the same.

This thread of direct responses to “affordability” signals how much he is aware of his poll numbers. Ai data centers, electricity costs, and private equity buying up homes lol

Curve ball tbh

Eggs…again!

Rep. Al Green was holding a sign that reads "Black People Aren't Apes" at the #SOTU:

God this is embarrassing

Unrepentant. Evil.

The sycophancy. The nonsense.

US Women’s Hockey forever

lol why am I watching this

Today a federal district court is hearing Louisiana v. FDA - a lawsuit that intends to halt telemedicine provision of abortion pills LA Attorney General Murrill claims that the mailing of pills enables abusers She's coopting arguments of reproductive coercion that we have long fought for

🎉 Congrats to CORE trainee @danamartha.bsky.social on a new publication in @jamahealthforum.com! The study reveals that teens in states with parental involvement laws, like WI, are more likely to seek medication abortion via online telemedicine than those in states without such laws.

🚨Our new paper in @jamahealthforum.com Curious about how parental involvement laws and state abortion bans shape access for teens? We found that teens living in the *most* stringent policy contexts are ordering abortion pills online at higher rates than their peers in less restrictive states

On an earnings call yesterday, the maker of birth control implant Nexplanon told investors it’s confident that newly heightened FDA regulations on its device won’t cause any bottlenecks. But most providers I contacted for this story (and have heard from since) didn’t even know about the new rules.

🤔 dead end to re-review a drug with a 25+ years of safe use in the US and hundreds of studies on the effectiveness, or...

Boosting this good work

Literal tears in the gym. As a fellow tender hearted person - thank you @theferocity.bsky.social for your heart and clarity

Encouraging to see the traction the all out strike for tomorrow is receiving - withholding our labor for even a speck of acknowledgement of our human rights really is the least we can do

I think what a lot of folks miss is how profitable deportation is for the corporations involved & the politicians they're backing. Holding people, physically removing them, is cost for the taxpayer & profit into the pockets of the worst people you can imagine.

Trusted friends in Minneapolis tell me that this fund is supporting many people but does not have enough money. If you can give, please do: chuffed.org/project/1671...

“If Minnesota falls, everything falls. We’re done as a nation.” Fury. Grief. Anguish. Locals on the frontlines of Trump’s attack on Minneapolis are speaking out following the killing of another one of their neighbors. We’re on the ground with @samveep.bsky.social tracking the aftermath.

We would go to Glam Doll Donuts before work.. on cold days

They aren’t inefficient. They are terrorizing and killing people with the maximum amount of terrorist spectacle that they want and intend.

Y'all this is so unhinged

Liam Ramos is one of four children who’ve been detained in the Columbia Heights area as ICE agents openly target schools and day cares across Minneapolis. Here’s what you need to know about his case.

Our new research finds that many adolescents and young adults in the U.S. South (esp Black women)experience pressure —from providers, partners, or parents—to use specific contraceptive methods or avoid contraception altogether, shaping whether they can use their preferred method. bit.ly/49ydbm0

I am finally watching #HeatedRivalry and I need to know what teens are talking about in terms of the sex scenes..!

New CORE research reveals how healthcare institutions, not just laws, play a major role in patient care and clinician experience under abortion restrictions. The study finds healthcare institutions' inaction after Dobbs increased stress, frustration, and mistrust among physicians. ⬇️ buff.ly/kkQRoz0
