Today in @thenation.com: Noor Alyacoubi spoke to people in Gaza about Trump's desire to expel them from their home. Their answer was very, very clear: "I will never, ever leave my land." www.thenation.com/article/worl...

My takeaway here on what this means for abortion care? Innovative little start ups were never the answer. Our movement is not in a place to innovate with compassion to both workers and patients without being beholden to the absurd whims of random donors. It’s all a savior complex.

A quick hit from me after the protests over the last week, despite all the claims that people were too exhausted to protest and were sitting Trump II out. It's true, much of the Trump "resistance" appeared to have gone home when Biden was elected. But plenty of people never left the fight:

They're just so clearly using this stuff to attempt to purge the federal government's unions and blatantly violate their CBA's, if you're not talking about that because you think certain academics and people who post a lot are annoying to you personally I don't think you're a serious labor advocate

Federal workers got another unsigned email at 1 a.m. from a newly created OPM email, urging them to do the deferred resignation before it supposedly ends today. Feels a bit sweaty and desperate!

This story is, among many many things, about how destructive rich people's obsession with funding "innovation" over everything else is. Mobile clinics along state borders never made any sense! The places along borders that do make sense (KC & St. Louis areas, El Paso area, etc) already have clinics!

One thing Musk's power grab suggests is that IT systems are the central chokepoint in contemporary capitalism — and that tech workers have potentially huge disruptive leverage, in both the federal government and within corporate America

“Isaacson calls [Musk’s grandfather’s] politics ‘quirky.’ In 1960, [the grandfather] self-published a tract, ‘The International Conspiracy to Establish a World Dictatorship & the Menace to South Africa,’ that blamed the two World Wars on the machinations of Jewish financiers.”

We are absolutely disgusted with All Above All management’s decision to lay off their entire staff, while keeping every single executive on the payroll, shortly after staff detailed anti-Blackness within the organization. Please donate to help support these workers www.gofundme.com/f/repro-work...

I actually feel like they are all displaying different strains of a tantrum over the fact that they all were mostly let into polite society in the ways they cared about (fancy law schools, journalists, Scalia on stage at the opera with Ginsburg and such), and they feel like people changed the rules

The indictment is egregious, treating mutual aid and solidarity as pre-crime activities. Guilt by association is the point. Egregiously, it casually refers to the 2020 police execution of Rayshard Brooks as “justified” — and the indictment is from the same Fulton County that indicted Brooks’ killers

the cop city fight is one of the most important challenges to the supremacy of the security state in living memory, and the fact that they are going after it with this much repressive force shows that they know this

it's true that Labor Day is in some sense a fake labor day for cops compared to the REAL labor day (May 1), but also we don't have enough holidays and we should just work towards having two labor-based holidays the same way we have two "salute da vets" holidays

The parent of a trans girl in MO described bizarre behavior by NYT reporter Azeen Ghorayshi in her reporting for a recent story. At one point Ghorayshi followed her and her husband to their car and stood in the door so it couldn't close.

Happy Labor Day bbs we’re still raising money to help laid off abortion workers! It may have been over a year since Dobbs (and over 2 since SB8…) but we still have new bans taking effect in new states, and each of those means layoffs or at least cut hours www.gofundme.com/f/repro-work...

Did you love our collective letter for the labor movement (bit.ly/ReproWorkers) SO MUCH you wished you could carry it around with you in physical form? If you’re in New York, pick up our text in zine form at Bluestockings and Quimby’s! Proceeds go to the Repro Worker Aid Fund

Extremely bad news for the South and Midwest this week. A total abortion ban went into effect in Indiana, and now a six-week ban will go into effect in South Carolina. These were two of the last states in their respective regions where abortion was more accessible.

Lol not to be weird and discuss across platforms but I enjoyed this, made me think of this definition of feminism from Firestone. We have big leaps in technology in transition care, ART, both procedural and medication abortions, alongside a global birth rate that has steadily declined for decades… 👀

We’re over 60% of the way to our goal but could use a push to keep our momentum going! People who spent years providing abortions, through attacks from anti-abortion legislators and activists, need help with necessities. We can’t just abandon them now https://www.gofundme.com/f/repro-worker-aid-fund
