PLAN C: Abortion pills by mail in every state Plan C is an information resource for self-managed, at-home abortion with pills. Learn how people in the U.S. are accessing abortion pill options online.

If you live in an abortion-restricted state, order your abortion pills now. PlanCPill.org will direct you to a provider who delivers to your state. If you live in Texas, you'll need to go through AidAccess.org. Legal jeopardy is on the provider, not the recipient--for now. So order them now.

Agreed, I get the why but I also think it could backfire. With that said, at the rate the US is going, it looks like all we will have left is a good time not a long time anyway.

This is true. We have to treat this the same way we’d treat this in the streets. Sometimes it’s better to stay outta the way.

Remember how I said I was scanning and organizing my books…I’m at book 802. AND, I found a signed Angela Y. Davis, (Women, Race and Class) a signed Anthony Bourdain (No Reservations) and a second copy of Fired Up Ready to Go by Peggy Cooper Cafritz. All from the thrift. #BlackBooks

Instead of Khloe Kardashian talking bullshit about Mayor Karen Bass, people should be talking about how she and her sister used an excess of over 300,000 gallons of water in just one month during a drought. How about the water waster just STFU.

Today is Zora Neale Hurston’s birthday.

Zora was not only a writer and anthropologist, but she was also an ass-beater.

Story is she couldn’t stand her young stepmother Mattie so much that Zora knocked that lady’s head between the wall and her fist because Mattie threw a vase at her.

And when this happens, you know Trump will try to take credit for itπŸ™„

So let me say this for posterity: Thank you VP KAMALA HARRIS, PRESIDENT BIDEN, and all the good people at the CFPB for moving to free MILLIONS from the burden of medical debt on their credit reports.

Medical debt to be removed from all Americans' credit scores "This will be life-changing for millions of families," Vice President Kamala Harris said.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau finalized a rule on Tuesday that will bar medical debt from being included in credit scores.

Disabled adults are disproportionately impacted by medical debt.
