States Move to Limit Access to H.I.V. Treatment

This is tragic and cruel

Trump doesn’t care that his own White House tried to backtrack on his loony idea to β€œnationalize” our elections because he keeps repeating it.

The man wants to undermine our democracy and β€œtake over” voting.

When Trump makes authoritarian threats, believe him!

How Attacks on Immigrant Teens Helped Build the Post-Roe Playbook In the second Trump administration, the post-Roe playbook targets teens and immigrants’ abortion and reproductive healthcare access first.

The first Trump administration’s crackdown on unaccompanied immigrant minors became the blueprint for today’s post-Dobbs attacks on abortion, contraception and bodily autonomy.

Every day I watch the news and a woman has been slaughtered and a child has been violated but we must entertain men's criticisms of feminism as if any of it makes sense.

Florida lawmakers advance domestic terrorism designation bill despite constitutional concerns It would allow the state to designate certain groups as domestic terrorist organizations. Supporters cite public safety, and critics say it’s unconstitutional.

Florida Legislature advances a bill that would allow the governor to designate certain groups "domestic terrorists." www.wusf.org/politics-iss...

The sponsor of the bill has a hell of a track record for inflicting pain. She has promoted:

- A bill that would make it a felony to explain to anyone under 18 that contraception exists or how it works
- A bill to place "chaplains" in public schools. This one passed. Not one "chaplain" placed is a member of the Association of Professional Chaplains, the US's accrediting group.

Democrats highlight veterans’ personal stories as they push Congress to roll back VA abortion ban The near-total ban now in effect permits abortion services only if a VA physician certifies they are necessary to save a pregnant veteran’s life.

We were proud to host this briefing with women veterans & @blumenthal.senate.gov to discuss the VA's dystopian abortion ban.

The veterans shared their harrowing health care stories, underscoring what's at risk for all veterans if this ban isn't overturned.

I'm glad people can admit it. Finally. 1/

I really wish more couples would have this conversation before they get engaged, and make THEIR decision for THEIR reasons, and not for their parents or societal pressure.

Trump administration is sending pregnant migrant girls to South Texas shelter flagged as medically inadequate Government sources and advocates for the children worry the goal is to concentrate them in Texas, where abortion is banned.

The investigative piece linked in the Guardian article is quite good (and not paywalled): www.tpr.org/news/2026-02...

They are absolutely laser-focused on abortion here, at the expense of some of their other evil priorities. That seems noteworthy.

Anti-Abortion β€˜Bounty Hunter’ Laws Spread from Texas Across U.S. Analysis: Several GOP towns and states now allow residents to sue each other for getting abortion care. The reward: money. In February, Kansas passed a similarly designed trans bathroom ban.

Just more Christofascism. Remember, snitches get stitches.

Just like Venezuela does not send fentanyl to the U.S. and Iraq did not have weapons of mass destruction. It’s all been false flags to justify military aggression and war.

If you are in the Western Universe, my opinion we are being taken over by Epstein cronies.

Not one of our leaders will speak out about children being abused or International Law.

Justice for the Epstein survivors is not a partisan issue. Period.

In New Mexico, we know that. That’s why we passed a BIPARTISAN truth commission to investigate Zorro Ranchβ€”especially after the feds asked NM to drop its case in 2019. We will pursue justice at every turn!

helenclarknz In the absence of an imminent threat to the security of the United States and Israel, their armed attacks on Iran are illegal under international law. They have no legitimate claim to invoking a right of self defence. It goes without saying that the Iranian regime is a vicious theocracy which has caused huge trauma to its people. But that isn't a reason for a breach of Iran's sovereignty.
@juanmanuelsantos, Chair of @theelders_org, has spoken on behalf of all The Elders. We support adherence to international law. Talks mediated by #Oman between the US & Iran had been underway.
Diplomacy should have been allowed to run its course. Deescalation now is urgent. The UN Secretary General has called for this and strongly condemned the breach of international law.
The statement on the β€’ & β€’ attacks on Iran by the New Zealand Government therefore is a disgrace. It knows full well that international law has been breached even though negotiations on Iran's nuclear capability were under way. It knows that walked away from the last nuclear agreement with Iran. Why the servility? guess we know.

β€œWhy the servility?” Should be a key question of the election.
The well-known Sarah Kendzior quote is that the Trump administration is a β€œtransnational crime syndicate masquerading as a government” - it is vital to ask why NZ is behaving on multiple fronts as if we want to be/are in on that racket.

The biometric data news story really makes you wonder about all of the things that might have been reported on that have yet to come out or will never see the light of day because many of the people who report on these things lost their jobs when the sector was targeted I mean fell on hard times πŸ€”

Social media created this nonsense idea that not exposing yourself to hatred is isolationist. Choosing to not spend your free time with bigots isn’t living in a bubble. I don’t need to know what’s going on at X. I won’t be smarter or more knowledgeable or empathic by being there. Neither will you.

I have honestly tried. But I can’t get my head around Reform’s outrage that the Greens produced leaflets in Urdu. It can’t just be belief that people with ESL aren’t properly British and shouldn’t be allowed to vote. Legally they are. Do they think there’s an unwritten rule the Greens broke?
