Not easy listening, but very important listening for anyone who cares about reproductive health, rights, & justice worldwide.
Journalists: don't miss this.
Thanks to @jennieindc.bsky.social for interviewing @beirners.bsky.social & Caitlin Horrigan of @ppfa.org for this important, sobering episode.
This country failed him (and many others). The people who voted for this or didn't vote at all failed him.
Today, @govpritzker.illinois.gov launched the Prairie State Access Fund, to strengthen infrastructure and resources for Illinoisβ reproductive healthcare ecosystem. More info here: gov-pritzker-newsroom.prezly.com/gov-pritzker... π π π
ICE is an explicitly misogynist militia. It recruits insecure men, kits them out, tells them their tough guys, warns that anyone who resists them is disrespecting their authority (and their fragile masculine status) and imposes no consequences for abuse.

Imagine if women shot men every time they (actually) feared for their lives. Imagine if women shot men every time they felt disrespected by a man.
Men: βshe tried to run him overβ
Also men: βwhy am I lonely?β
βShe was a woman who maintained calm equanimity in the face of a male ICE officerβs attempt to wield his authority: an illicit, abusive authority designed to elicit panic and unthinking obedience. And, so, he shot her.β
I'm not sure how many more times we need to see/hear about violent men calling women "bitch" as they assault & even murder them before we accept that misogynistic slurs aren't neutral.
Abolishing ICE is a reproductive justice issue
notice itβs the βpro-lifeβ ppl justifying these killings

Huge GOOD news for South Carolina
SB 323 was NOT passed!
This is a MAJOR WIN for South Carolinians and a BIG step for Reproductive Justice.
The people have spoken and have used their voice to save abortion access and so much more.
Amazing things can happen when we work together!

Remember when Dick Cheney βaccidentallyβ shot a guy? Anyway, Release the Epstein Files
I hate the Hyde Amendment and you should too! It prohibits federal funds, like Medicaid, from being used to pay for abortion care. It sucks soooo bad.
Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and heβs giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens.
Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Letβs be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.
Hey VA! Early in-person voting is open! Our team has researched every candidate. We know how they've voted in the past, and what they've said on social media about abortion rights. Come check out our work and let's elect pro-choice legislators! choicetracker.org/va
Yβall, Iβm so done with this man. The damage heβs causing, the cruelty, Itβs beyond anything I can tolerate. Itβs too much.
