up first @mussabali.bsky.social, 28, who might be Jersey City's Zohran

This is my official author pic for Killers of Roe, but I think I like the behind the scenes version even more.

On 9/29 I finished the final proof of my book and as if on cue, my water broke….

Our baby girl Robin June arrived one month ago today.

The stakes of the book I finished on the literal eve of her birth feel even higher now that she is here.

Whom Does Adoption Really Serve? A Q&A With Gretchen Sisson Sisson’s new book, Relinquished, is the corrective we need to shut down the Christian conservative myth that adoption can render abortion unnecessary.

Relinquished: The Politics of Adoption and the Privilege of American Motherhood The Politics of Adoption and the Privilege of American Motherhood

Have you read @gretchensisson.bsky.social's paradigm-shifting book on adoption?

I did, and it changed how I think about adoption for good.

This is your last shot to get a hardcover of the book before it comes out in paperback!

Incredibly alarming—after the whole ridiculous antifa roundtable at the White House, as Mark was moving with his family to Europe after threats…

Extremely proud of my former coworkers as they continue to advocate for the pay and respect they deserve

Starving children screaming for food as US aid cuts unleash devastation and death across Myanmar U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has repeatedly said “no one has died" because of his government’s decision to gut its foreign aid program.

Horrific reporting from the AP on the Myanmar families watching their kids starve to death from Trump and Musk’s aid cuts apnews.com/article/myan...

I’ve received multiple death threats + doxing (including my home address) directly following harassment from Turning Point USA, Jack Posobiec, Andy NGO, + Fox News which called me an antifa ‘financier.’

I have been forced to move my classes online.

Now is The Time to Defend All Abortions — rePROs Fight Back “Democrats love to avoid it, and Republicans love to lie about it. But later-abortion care has never been more important.” Amy Littlefield , abortion access correspondent for the Nation and author of...

We spoke with @amylittlefield.bsky.social about her article for ‪The Nation, "What Would It Mean to Defend All Abortions?," alongside @garinwastaken.bsky.social, co-founder of @patientforward.bsky.social, to discuss the importance of protecting access to abortion care later in pregnancy. #podcast

“Terrorists inspired by Islamist ideology are responsible for 87 percent of those murdered in attacks on U.S. soil since 1975,” he writes. “Right-wingers are the second most common motivating ideology, accounting for 391 murders and 11 percent of the total. Left-wing terrorists murdered 65 people, or about 2 percent of the total.” Because the 9/11 attacks “obscure other trends and are plausibly distinct,” Nowrasteh recalculated the data excluding the attacks. Doing so “reduces the number of murders to 620 from 3,599.” The exclusion raises the right-wing share of murders in terrorist attacks “from 11 percent to 63 percent (391), the left-wing share from about 2 percent to 10 percent (65), and the unknown/other share to 1 percent.” Terrorism since 2020, Nowrasteh wrote, paints a slightly different picture. Since Jan. 1, 2020 (total 81), terrorists have murdered 81 people in attacks on U.S. soil. Right-wing terrorists account for over half of those murders (44), Islamists for 21 percent (27), left-wingers for 22 percent (18), and 1 percent had unknown or other motivations. Nowrasteh did not include the deaths associated with the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol for the following reasons:

Carol Mason Explains How Abortion Opponents Went From Blockading Clinics to Storming the Capitol A conversation with the author about her new book, From the Clinics to the Capitol: How Opposing Abortion Became Insurrectionary.

Despite Trump's claims, data shows that right-wing extremists are far more violent than those on the left.

And the origins of today's far-right insurrectionism lie in the anti-abortion movement.

Trump apparently thinks domestic violence is not a crime. That makes sense | Moira Donegan Trump’s view of the prerogatives of husbands towards their wives mirror his own sense of his entitlements as president towards his abused country

"What might be more surprising is how closely Trump’s view of the prerogatives and entitlements of abusive husbands towards their abused wives mirror his own sense of his prerogatives and entitlements as president towards his abused country."

@moiradonegan.bsky.social on Trump:

Final update: I got a shot at a different CVS in MA today after being turned away from the first. If you live here I recommend calling the pharmacy first, even if you’re able to get an appointment.

lol thank you for accompanying me on this saga.

UPDATE AGAIN: After getting turned away at the first CVS, I was able to get my Covid shot at a different CVS in Boston.

So it seems…widespread confusion! But shots are indeed happening in MA. I recommend calling the pharmacy first.

I deleted my original post on Covid shots in MA because I didn’t want to spread misinformation.

I was able to book a Covid vaccine appt at CVS in Boston this morning but when I got there they said they couldn’t give me the shot.

UPDATE: Despite letting me make an appointment online, the pharmacist at CVS just informed me that they are NOT offering Covid shots in MA rn.

Get it together, Massachusetts!

This is exactly it, lol.

Early in the book it was really important for me to present reproductive justice as this international framework of demanding that all of us can parent or not parent in safe, healthy environments. It is fundamentally inseparable from the work of reproductive rights advocates in the United States when this is what our tax dollars are funding. It’s so simple that reproductive justice and bodily autonomy are impossible under genocide and under apartheid and starvation conditions that the United States has very much been facilitating.

"I really don’t believe that anyone who claims to care about our most basic rights here in the US can ignore this existential moral issue of our lives, which is the genocide that Israel is perpetrating in Palestine."

A New Era of Reproductive Coercion: A Conversation With Kylie Cheung The author’s new book explores how the Dobbs decision “created new avenues through which the state and abusive figures can collaboratively punish and control their victims.”

"The reality remains that under patriarchy and under rape culture and under abortion bans, all survivors and all abortion seekers are dehumanized and denied agency by their abuser or by the state," Kylie Cheung tells @amylittlefield.bsky.social in a new Q&A.

Idaho lost one in three obstetricians after its abortion ban New research confirms: Crackdowns on reproductive rights have harmful ripple effects across local health care.

New research shows Idaho lost one in three obstetricians after its abortion ban took effect

About half of those OBs left the state—and none moved to states with abortion bans, the lead author says.

More evidence that abortion bans impact other forms of health care. New @motherjones.com:

What Would It Mean to Defend All Abortions? Democrats love to avoid it, and Republicans love to lie about it. But later-abortion care has never been more important.

@amylittlefield.bsky.social spent time with providers and patients in abortion clinics to capture and share the truth about abortion later in pregnancy—which is that it is a necessary, compassionate form of healthcare provision. www.thenation.com/article/soci...
