Use Duck Duck Go as your search engine for the ability to turn AI off, if not for the privacy. Or use it for both! 🦆🦆🏃🏻

Cecile Richards Isn’t Giving Up the Fight Despite a brain cancer diagnosis and political setbacks, the Texas native is investing in a new strategy: abortion storytelling for the TikTok age.

“Cecile Richards has created generations of troublemakers who will never stop fighting for the Texas we deserve and the communities we love.”

Richards, who passed away Tuesday at 67, was interviewed for the current print issue of the Texas Observer.

Hi! I’ve hosted 3 seasons of Ben & Jerry’s podcast Into The Mix, and I never thought a brand would pay me (well!) to do the work we do and confront the issues we address. This last season was really special. AND if you ever tour the Ben & Jerry’s factory, I’m the voice that leads you into it 🥰🍦

Okay, I’m hoping this will gain some traction on Bluesky *inhales* SALEM PUBLIC LIBRARY IN OREGON IS IN DANGER OF CLOSING. This sets a dangerous precedent for state capital libraries!!

This is a continuation of the saga from last year, when we were saved at the last second by the then-mayor. (1/2)

They will go after Wikipedia.

They will go after libraries.

They will go after school boards and public extracurricular activities that are anything but sports.

They will go after archives.

Because knowledge, education, culture, and progressives are all the enemy.

Thinking is the enemy.

The disability community really needs help to stop the massive cuts to Medicaid that are being proposed. Especially if you or a loved one rely on Medicaid services-write or call your representatives and tell them your story.

We saw a lot of "what to do if you see ICE" posts, primarily stating "yelling LA MIGRA" as an option, so we thought it was helpful to share a couple of things you can do in the case of you encountering ICE

Honored to have interviewed Cecile Richards for this month's issue of @texasobserver.org magazine, likely one of her final. The Texas-born repro rights icon stressed the importance of abortion storytelling. She truly never gave up the fight. I'll share a link to our conversation soon. Rest in power.

Donald spearheading the downfall of TikTok just to turn around and try to save it is purely manipulation. If successful and the app returns after being banned, it WILL be filled with right-wing fascist propaganda. Do not fall for it.

Welcome, TikTok users! Bluesky is just like TikTok, except instead of videos we post words and instead of fun we have "discourse"

The issue is with online anything. You own nothing. We need to own books again, movies, music. Start a DVD collection, a CD/vinyl collection, A library. Get a record player and DVD player. Own shit again. Stop making them make you lease everything.
