enough with the "i told you so" - enough. we need anyone willing and able who agrees things are getting WORSE to join the fight against these billionaires. we need more grace. patience. more showing, less telling. we need to organize, we need to overwhelm. we need to fight. treat it like war.

Think the tariffs are bad? Keep you eye on what really matters -- how corporations will use this moment to profiteer, and how our govenrment doesn't seem to care enough to stop them. noraloreto.substack.com/p/ok-but-wha...

LOL guess who had a few drinks as a teen and probably got really sick after? Didn’t have that confession on my 2025 bingo card

"Federal prosecutors dropped their charges against a Dallas surgeon accused of leaking the records of underage patients’ gender transition-related care in what some conservative activists are calling a win for anti-transgender activism."

For clarity, Sim's quoted intent is no net new supportive housing in Vancouver, period (not just DTES). Vancouver has a growing need — not a diminishing need — for supportive housing. Sim's promised approach is reckless and cruel. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

It doesn’t just happen overnight, it’s small changes that you barely perceive because they don’t affect you.

It was exciting to see this feature on my upcoming Copaganda book in Publisher’s Weekly. It took several years to write it on top of the civil rights work we do, and all royalties are donated. We will also have free copies for students and anyone in prison. www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

I've seen dozens of headlines claiming that Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick wants to "clarify" the state's abortion ban to be safer for women. Please remember what 'clarifying' abortion bans really means. From my book:

Indigenous peoples know this very well.

The response to the ceasefire is to move the slaughter to the West Bank. #gaza #freepalestine #genocide #liars www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Roe v. Wade’s anniversary is a time to honor the fight for abortion access, but Rep. Chip Roy is out here reintroducing a bill to repeal the FACE Act, which protects patients and providers from clinic violence. Under this new administration, we have to fight even harder. https://buff.ly/4jjGpHU

It was brought to my attention the moderators of r/Canada, the biggest subreddit in Canada, removed my article about the anti-LGBTQ+ activist who ambushed Trudeau and is blocking ConvoyWatch links (r/Canada's moderators have previously been linked to the far-right) ricochet.media/media/media-...

Also I covered this story like three weeks before CBC but they are allergic to linking to independent journalists 💁‍♀️ Anyways subscribe to get news weeks before CBC covers it 😈 rachelgilmore.substack.com/p/kids-are-g...

Logged into Twitter for ten seconds and saw everyone from Liberal MPs to Conservative columnists framing protests against Indigo as antisemitic Meanwhile CEO Heather Reisman is materially supporting a literal genocide The manufacturing of consent for genocide is fucking sick

This seems relevant, given the overall news…

Money can’t cure chronic illness - but lack of money & privilege can make surviving life with chronic illness much harder When you’re struggling to meet basic needs such as food, clothing, meds & shelter - you use up all your spoons before you even begin the fight to accommodate health issues /1

This is so cool! Y’all should be supporting Indigenous artists and media!

In many areas, Planned Parenthood is the only maternity service Regardless, South Carolina wants to prevent the provider from receiving Medicaid For NON-ABORTION treatments Like cancer screenings Their case will be heard by the Supreme Court The cruelty is the point www.npr.org/2024/12/18/g...

WISH Drop In serves street-based sex workers in Vancouver, marginalized women who are extremely vulnerable to violence. Because of a funding shortfall, they are scaling back services for their drop in and MAP van. wish-vancouver.net/program-chan...

Options provides sexual health and reproductive health care from a pro-sex, feminist perspective (where they recognize sex is great, here's how to do it as safely and enjoyably as possible). After 12 years of stagnant funding, they may have to close 85 per cent of clinics thetyee.ca/News/2024/12...

To catch you up, Juni wrote a bot that monitors the likes of Bluesky’s head of trust and safety @aaron.bsky.team because the protocol for Bluesky is famously open and nothing is hidden in it even if a user would prefer it be hidden. He liked porn on the clock and, when caught, banned Juni.

Pierre Poilievre is cozying up to Canada’s far-right broligarchs EXCELLENT piece from @parismarx.com!! A must read: breachmedia.ca/canada-far-r...

Here are the 6 MAGA extremists (and their public phone numbers) who have intro'd a bill to allow South Carolina to execute women who receive an abortion. If you haven't heard about SC H3537, it's because corporate media has ignored it. Here's how to fight back: www.qasimrashid.com/p/s-carolina...

“It will always cost the government more to manage unintended pregnancies than it will to make contraception free.”

The algorithm knows, based on who he follows, what he likes and retweets. It’s no coincidence.

NEW: Women experiencing pregnancy loss in states with abortion bans told us they wished they had known what to expect and how to advocate for themselves. We created this guide for anyone who finds themselves in the same position. ⤵️

If you can’t stomach voting Red, please try to strategically vote. See what the inclination in your area is and help get people out when it is time to vote. Talk to your neighbours and friends and family. DO NOT be complacent, we need to come out in great numbers.

This is the exact same playbook that has been used by the anti-abortion movement, which has spent years promoting the stories of those who claim to regret having an abortion.

🚨PERSONAL NEWS 🚨 I just got laid off, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn’t scared. But with your help, I can turn this into a running jump. Let me explain. Please consider supporting my work: rachelgilmore.substack.com 💞

"I have learned that letting go of what you think you can’t live without is something a person is more willing to do if they feel that the injustice is shared equally among all. What better way to become more resilient to external shocks than to practice?"

An urgent and insightful article written by a courageous and committed journalist. I strongly recommend! bsky.app/profile/infi... www.thedriftmag.com/in-ruins/

Earlier this year Public Health Scotland found zero—ZERO—cases of cervical cancer among women who had been vaccinated for HPV as 12–13 year olds (program began in 2008). It is a shockingly effective vaccine. publichealthscotland.scot/news/2024/ja...

Stupid people

Canada is at risk of democratic backsliding if right-wing populist Pierre Poilievre & the CPC get in govt. PPs admitted plans to invoke notwithstanding clause to overide the Charter & break down democratic institutions/guardrails are warning signs we cannot ignore #cdnpoli thetyee.ca/Analysis/202...
