A new report finds that the number of abortions in the U.S. grew in 2024 as more women obtained pills through telehealth.

If you're willing to lie about shit like this then why is anyone to believe you'll tell the truth about anything

"Undeterred, she came back a few days later when the gate was unlocked. This time, she drove straight inside, not asking permission. Her staff 'deliberately dropped me off inside the lobby before they knew that we were there,' she said." More of this. Thank you, @chu.house.gov.

Every day brings more videos of masked, armed men making violent arrests. The GOP budget bill would provide ICE with an extra $75 billion and hire 10,000 more agents for enforcement in the US interior -- but so far, Democrats are only talking about Medicaid cuts. truthout.org/articles/tru...

🚨🚨 on @democracynow this morning: “rallies have continued demanding the release of photojournalist Anthony Orendorff, who is being held at a Los Angeles jail without bail after being arrested while documenting an ICE raid in the neighborhood of Pacoima last week.”

This story will continue to grow for as long as they continue to attempt to punish Anthony for his journalism. Please continue to spread the news & politicize this issue. Thank you and FREE ANTHONY!!

Any country that can develop the capability would be stupid not to get one ASAP. Trump (and Putin) have made it quite clear that's the only thing that truly protects you from people like them.

DHS keeps accusing critics of "assaulting officers" when videos show otherwise. In some cases, it's the protesters + prominent Dems who are roughed up or injured by officers. It's "classic policing," says @dreanyc123.bsky.social. “The harder you get beaten, the more likely you’ll get those charges"

White supremacists are endorsing Andrew Cuomo for mayor

Wow: ICE Has Deported at Least 70 U.S. Citizens

I’m going to make a thread about how the feds have changed their tactics here in Los Angeles because the community has forced them to adapt.

After weeks of having visit requests denied, Avellaneda Delgado's children saw him in detention and were shocked to find him in a wheelchair, unable to speak. The next day, he died. He spent four decades raising a family & working on farms in the U.S. He was a human being. He was our neighbor.

What fracking is doing to the Earth—and to our bodies

I worry about one step past this. Apparently AI data is polluted by AI, so developers place high value on pre-2022 data. My concern is this limited our ability to push beyond existing knowledge. AI pushes us toward the lowest common denominator of our (old) knowledge futurism.com/chatgpt-poll...

"Democratic leaders have a consistent message for vulnerable constituents: Trump is trying to bait us into helping you, and we won’t be taking the bait. This “distraction” trope had steered Schumer into describing a setback to equality as unworthy of attention." www.offmessage.net/p/democrats-...

Jessica Ramos basically admitted to Brian Lehrer that she thinks Trump will punish and single out NYC if Mamdani wins and that's her justification for backing Cuomo First off, STOP MAKING DECISIONS BASED ON FEAR. Second, stop giving that man more power by rewarding his racism with cowardice. FFS

Report from Tehran: Iranians View U.S. Strikes on Key Nuclear Sites as "Act of War"

The US measles count now tops 1200 cases & more states are announcing cases. Worse, the federal gov't is no longer promoting the benefits of vaccination & the CDC's vaccine advisory committee has been replaced with a panel of quacks👇

The bill removes future presidents capacity to cancel debt. It removes health care providers exchange of debt to work for low cost health centers. It dramatically attacks and reduces Pell grants. It will enslave you into debt and result in university closures everywhere.

Watch this, please

They are using Mexican license plates to try and fool people.

The number of immigrants detained in ICE facilities across the country has reached a record high of more than 56,000. The driving force behind this surge is the detention of immigrants with no prior criminal convictions.

Everything about this is farce. Iran wasn’t near creating a weapon. The administration committed a crime and is trying to avoid consequences and war using pitifully transparent word games. Our media is clicking its heels and producing jingoistic war porn and trying to legitimize Netanyahu. Farce

Southern Baptists’ call for the US Supreme Court to overturn its same-sex marriage decision is part of a long history of opposing women’s and LGBTQ+ people’s rights

“I feel betrayed,” Alejandro Barranco said. “My dad has no criminal history. He wasn’t doing anything bad. He was just working. The way they (federal agents) attacked him, I don’t think it’s right.” www.gazettextra.com/news/nation_...

It simply is no longer viable for us to hold the 2026 World Humanist Congress in Washington DC as planned, with the US in the state it is. Delighted to announce that we will instead be hosted by the wonderful people of Ottawa, Canada!

Strong feeling that Democratic leadership are DRAMATICALLY underestimating the desire amongst Democratic voters to punish the ICE thugs that are doing this. Voters want accountability, and this is going to boil over into D party fracture if @schumer.senate.gov keeps trying to ignore it

In LA, we have the right to film law enforcement in public spaces, as long as we do not interfere. Arturo Hermosillo says he was arrested for doing exactly that. He was in his van when he saw an older woman, a local tamale vendor, lying on the ground during an immigration raid & started recording.

I remember when his son, Richard W. Smith and his three frat buddies selected a random UVa student and beat the hell out of him on the street while they laughed, back in 1997. UVa didn't expel them, thanks to Fred Smith's intervention. Today, Richard W. Smith is a COO at FedEx.

This is an intentional outcome from the decisions made by Elon Musk, Donald Trump, Marco Rubio, and the collective supporters of the Trump Administration.
