I truly do think all of the "Noem out, Mullin in" posts and stories are failing American democracy right now!

Trump is announcing his nominee.

That's it.

If the Senate majority wants to confirm him, they're a part of thisโ€”even after knowing what they know now.

And that matters come November.

Too Afraid to Leave Home: ICEโ€™s Toll on Latino HIV Care Operation Metro Surge is leading some Latinos to delay or cancel HIV prevention or treatment appointments.

Did you know Latino men have the USโ€™s highest risk of new HIV infections? They are 72% more likely to be diagnosed than the general populationโ€”and in Minneapolis, they are skipping clinic visits for fear of ICE, report @cameronoakes.bsky.social & @unclosetedmedia.bsky.social

Trans Kansans are Right to Distrust Federal Courts Transgender Kansans are challenging a new discriminatory law in state court, refusing to leave their freedom up to an untrustworthy federal judiciary.

Two Kansans are suing in state court over the new law invalidating trans people's licenses & deputizing bathroom bounty hunters

And they're arguing on state law grounds alone

Kansas's anti-trans law violates federal law too, but federal courts can't be trusted

Leaked documents show Meta cracking down on access to abortion information Its AI chatbot won't discuss the subject with teensโ€”even as Meta fights claims it exposed kids to actual harm.

This is a good example of the alternate civic sphere they have built. Their own institutions credentialing almost entirely for signal instead of skill. Itโ€™s not strange historically. Think being a member of a faith to become a professor at religious institutions.

Connecticut General Assembly The Connecticut General Assembly 2026 Regular Session convenes February 4th, 2026 and adjourns May 6th, 2026

Not Connecticut (a pro choice state! *gasp*!) quietly considering parental notification of minors who want to get an abortion ๐Ÿ™„

Time and time again lawmakers are willing to compromise on the human rights of young people

Let's be clear about the real purpose of the suit:

-To end telehealth provision - which has been a real game changer for access

-Effectively have national abortion ban by ending telehealth

-To end shield law provision - a key protective element that has supported clinicians offering telehealth

Today a federal district court is hearing Louisiana v. FDA - a lawsuit that intends to halt telemedicine provision of abortion pills

LA Attorney General Murrill claims that the mailing of pills enables abusers

She's coopting arguments of reproductive coercion that we have long fought for

Adolescent and Young Adult Requests for Medication Abortion Through Online Telemedicine This cross-sectional study evaluates telehealth medication abortion rates among adolescents and young adults after the Dobbs v Jackson Womenโ€™s Health Organization decision by state-level restrictions and parental involvement laws.

๐ŸŽ‰ Congrats to CORE trainee @danamartha.bsky.social on a new publication in @jamahealthforum.com! The study reveals that teens in states with parental involvement laws, like WI, are more likely to seek medication abortion via online telemedicine than those in states without such laws.
