Just days after Trump returned to the White House, Instagram is censoring abortion content. This is what Aid Access' account looks like right now - posts about how to get abortion medication has been blurred out.

One of the problems stemming from the combination of there being so few Jews and the conflation of Jews with Israel and Zionists is that I'm already seeing "why won't the Jews condemn Musk?" posts. THE ADL AND ZIONISTS DON'T SPEAK FOR US. Assuming otherwise does their work for them.

I love this so much! At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions. This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.

The number of people telling me Jews need to see the vile images going around today because “too many Jewish people support Trump” are just antisemitic pieces of shit. EIGHTY EIGHT percent of Jewish women voted for Kamala. SEVENTY NINE percent of all Jews. Who the fuck are you talking to?

How is the PR statement somehow even more offensive than the act it is mind-boggling telling us to have "grace" for? Disgusting.

I’m in Los Angeles in the middle of disaster. It feels the same way it did 20 years ago in New Orleans.The lesson learned from back then & today: love those around you and create loving memories. They will sustain you in difficult times.Tragedy is defined by how you respond to it.

If you track maternal mortality along every metric, health insurance, weight, blood pressure, diabetes, location, education, employment, a Black woman and a white woman whose lives look identical on paper will still have a 300% disparity in maternal mortality.

Going out on a limb and predicting we’re not gonna get a tsunami of chinstroking essays by East Coast intellectuals asking “Should we rebuild the Pacific Palisades?”

Our current political state, the New Orleans attack, the LA fires, personal news. I haven’t felt like This since the weeks following Katrina. Despair and Hope are equally useless, but Hope through Action is a path forward. We found each other on our blogs; let’s do it again here. We have each other.
