“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.

Attacks in Gaza.

Tasneem’s youngest daughter, Alma.

AP News: ‘We fled to the street': Palestinian family puts up tent at roadside after dispersal from Gaza City.

The Gazans are forced to flee their makeshift homes as they face renewed attack. They have no aid and no shelter.

Please give to my friend Tasneem and others. 🙏💕

Amazing that this is somehow real.

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:

Change in OB/GYN Physicians Practicing Obstetrics After the Dobbs Decision This cohort study evaluates changes in the number of obstetrics and gynecology physicians practicing in Idaho after the Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health Organization Supreme Court decision.

NEW: A JAMA study finds that "between August 2022 and December 2024 ... Idaho lost 94 of the 268 OBGYN physicians practicing obstetrics."

Just 20 new OBGYNs moved to Idaho in that time, "and 114 of the 268 baseline obstetricians" stopped practicing, left the state, or retired.

Lawsuit: Alabama teens abused, forced to fight each other at state-funded youth camp Lawsuits describe Camp SAYLA as a “house of horrors” where children suffered brutal abuse, including being beaten and forced into a staff-created “bounty system.”

Since the Dobbs decision, the only real changes in Alabama has been to make it easier to dissolve parental rights and to make it easier and have less oversight over foster care and adoption. All contracts go through the state. Last week a contractor left a toddler in a car and killed him. Now this.

This violates R.I. Gen. Laws § 11‑24‑2.3 on its face which provides protections for gender identity in public accommodations in Rhode Island.

Brown University is openly admitting it will brazenly violate Rhode Island state law. I expect lawsuits will follow.

ICYMI: On top of everything else, the U.S. government is about to straight-up destroy $10 million in usable contraception that was destined for women abroad.
