Abortion pills are available in all 50 states thanks to shield laws protecting telehealth providers from criminal/civil investigations. A Texas woman told @cartersherman.bsky.social she obtained pills after recalling a @plancpills.bsky.social sticker in a bathroom

Has a Texas law created β€˜abortion bounty hunters’? – podcast In this special episode, the Guardian US reproductive health and justice reporter Carter Sherman speaks to people who are using, providing and protecting abortion pills and those fighting against them...

A first-of-its-kind Texas law takes effect today. It aims to dam the flood of abortion pills into the red state β€” by letting people sue one another.

@daniellestephens.bsky.social and I went deep on the new law for a special episode of Politics Weekly America.

So if Olivia is 32 now, broke up with Lizza last year, was together with him for a decade, and then was living with you for 4+ years before that, how old was she when you moved her out of her (presumably parents’) house in the suburbs to live with you?

2:15 a.m., 850 acres burning.
As a child, I became convinced that death was not random, that life was the process of investigating what the point of it was, and as soon as you figured it out, in that very instant, you would ascend. God would eliminate you from this plane. He could not risk a leaker walking among the ignorant. The assignment was to crack the case for yourself. And when I would find myself thinking too hard about the central question, I would back away slowly, thinking, Well, I will return to this matter some other time when I feel more ready to possibly meet my end. What if I guessed correctly?

Important to understand that sexual violence is political violence, enacted specifically to enforce class, race, and, yes, gender hierarchies.

The state declined the money "to remain compliant with current Idaho laws concerning parental rights and counseling on pregnancy options.” The law in question is SB 1329, which requires parental consent for healthcare and is also limiting young people's access to suicide hotlines, as Kelcie notes

To a large extent, @teenvogue.com's Politics section was doing the only dedicated progressive reporting on American higher education. While higher ed issues sometimes receive coverage in places like The Nation & The American Prospect, Teen Vogue treated campuses like a dedicated beat.

Teen Vogue Is Folding Into Vogue.com According to CondΓ© Nast’s announcement, the outlet will keep its β€œunique editorial identity and mission.”

Teen Vogue took young people's rights and political stances seriously, in a way that no other outlet did. This is so devastatingβ€”especially for young people who are looking to learn about the world and to feel less alone www.thecut.com/article/teen...

Pretty good sign this is bullshit is that it would be 6 times higher than the number of people who left New York in the midst of a once-in-a-century pandemic.

Women are taking pay cuts as companies mandate return to office Researchers are identifying several key factors behind why gender pay gap – which had narrowed steadily over the years – has suddenly widened.

"For the first time since the 1960s, the earnings gap between men and women has widened two years in a row...with women earning 80.9 cents for every dollar a man earned in 2024. That compares to women earning 84 cents for every dollar a man earned in 2022."
