Sending LOVE and Understanding
To the many young people who are hurting tonight
We see you
We are on your side
To my Trans Friends
To our LGBTQ Youth
To our Teens who feel awkward

A butterfly emerges and spreads its wings
And so shall you

This song from Janis Ian

I see a general strike as unsubscribing to monthly subscriptions. Boycott Amazon is possible by canceling Prime subscriptions, protesting Whole Foods. Cancel Hulu, cancel facebook, cancel X. Anything you're paying for, you could stop. Hit the tech in the pocket and the guys on the inauguration stand

Done. Shopping local. Joining PBS, NPR

The CFPB still stands a year after Vought tried to delete it, thanks to workers and leading advocates like @crlonline.bsky.social's Mike Calhoun. Check out his video and demand Congress show some love this Valentine’s Day by restoring CFPB funding. Click here: bit.ly/lovecfpb #CFPBMyValentine

Prior abortion or miscarriage not linked to increased risk of pre- or postmenopausal breast cancer A prior abortion or miscarriage was not linked with an increased risk of developing pre- or postmenopausal breast cancer in a study published in Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica.

A new study has shown that miscarriage or induced abortion is NOT a potential risk factor for breast cancer, contrary to continued anti-choice propaganda. Even several abortions or miscarriages does not increase risk. The study used high-quality Finnish registry data.

The so-called Save America Act will force 21 million American citizens to produce passports or birth certificates just to register to vote. Most do not have them ready. Turning paperwork into a barrier is a poll tax by another name. #HandsOffHerVote social.demcast.com/s/L9X3k1fQ

Poll tax is back but everyone is now discovering it’s fascism

Just discovered yet another severe harm ICE is causing: huge cutbacks at our hospitals, because patients won't come in, because ICE hangs out inside the building or by the doors and abducts people. Crushing our medical system alongside our schools and our businesses.

1 person shot and killed by U.S. marshal in Northeast DC A U.S. marshal shot and killed a person Wednesday afternoon in Northeast D.C. This shooting happened on Hay Street right in front of the Cesar Chavez Middle Public Charter School and not far from the ...

I heard about a killing of a Black man in DC by US marshals on a call from someone in the neighborhood then saw it confirmed by the organization @harrietsdreams.bsky.social & here. A Black man in DC was killed by the state today. Make the same noise for him as for anyone else when we have his name.

What Happens When Midwives Lead Abortion Care: Lessons from Sweden | International Confederation of Midwives In Sweden, abortion is recognised as essential healthcare—built on decades of research and early innovation. More recently, reforms have enabled midwives to play a central role, making care safer, tim...

Sweden’s experience with midwives providing abortion care offers lessons for other countries. Swedism midwives have long led care for healthy women during pregnancy and birth, with doctors supporting when complications arise. Applying the same model to abortion care is both logical and effective.

Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude

We all knew you are a good human. Thank you for what you are doing

Listen to this. Not a penny more for this. Abolish and prosecute anyone who had anything to do with it.

ICE to begin detaining immigrants inside Social Circle warehouse in April Homeland Security plans to build warehouse detention facilities in other cities being met with opposition.

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.

If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

Not for nothing, these are the things that white supremely., capitalism, and the venture-capitalist industrial complex want to take from us.

Don’t let them. Take a humanities course. Support the arts. And if you’re a STEM person? Fight for your colleagues.

ICE was flawed from day one... born out of post-9/11 fear and built on policies that blurred national security with domestic control. Some systems don’t need reform. They need to be abolished.

'Coldest air of the whole winter' in forecast. Blame the polar vortex. The relentless winter of 2025-26 in the East is about to unleash its most brutal cold outbreak yet.

Millions of Americans will experience bitter cold this weekend.

If you are using a space heater for extra warmth, avoid a home fire and make sure you plug it directly into a wall outlet. Keep your heater at least 3ft away from anything flammable.

Ciji Graham’s is the seventh case ProPublica has investigated in which a pregnant woman died after she was unable to access standard care in a state that has significantly restricted abortion.

Read her story: https://propub.li/4r4VQr4

people will come to love their oppression, to adore the technologies that undo their capacities to think.

Every American needs to watch this:

Photo of 7 year old Diana Crespo sitting with her parents at a table in a restaurant. Her dad is giving a thumbs up.

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley.

Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo.

Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles.

Get them out!
