Posting this from months ago because we DO have homegrown experience with autocratic regimes in this country. In nearly half this country during the first 6 decades of the 20th century Black people lived under systems of cruelty, voter suppression, hate, state violence & corruption. Ask them!

My favorite part of our conversation was Sophie's summation that: "Lived biology is on our side." That part is included in much longer version that will be out soon on @reproutopia.bsky.social's patreon.

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote. There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

Complying with EOs now means the Trump regime doesn’t have to legislate. Make them pass the damned laws.

It's bizarre to watch one party attempt to follow the rules thinking they're leading by example while the other party pantses them and pees on their legs. Bizarre and ignorant.

Yesterday, JAMA published a piece showing that abortion bans have led to a 5.6% increase in infant mortality bc (1) bans bans force people to birth babies with severe fetal anomalies that do not survive & (2) bans affect high-risk patients the most. Short thread: jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Great list put together by a member of @generalstrikeus.bsky.social showing what companies are committed to their DEI initiatives & which ones have reversed their policies. You may not have a lot of money, but a lot of people who band together can create a difference! docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Today the @nytimes.com sought to whitewash its central role in laundering anti-trans falsehoods and turbocharging anti-trans attacks nationwide. My reporting showed that editorial leadership was aware of this depravity which is why this disingenuous piece can’t erase the scale of what they’ve done.

Working on a global partnership for repro health in Namibia I learned from people that worked with Nujoma about his impacts, goodness, and anti-colonial political action. SWAPO’s 1990 fight/win of independence from South Africa is yet another model of fighting/building different futures together 🇳🇦

The Trump administration is scrubbing the CDC’s website of documents on reproductive rights issues, sexual health, intimate partner violence, and more. I'm trying to save them. You can find the deleted docs at CDCGuidelines.com - I'll be adding more over the weekend.

As some know, the time, energy, process-and tbh some street-fights of deep frustration and challenge-of trying to bring Planned Parenthood along to see and act on the inextricable links between reproductive and trans autonomy, agency, and access to care were a foundation of my work for decades.

Florida's abortion ballot measure failing to pass means big numbers of Floridians will keep coming to New York for care. Great story from The City on how New York Abortion Access Fund (@nyaaf.bsky.social) and Tampa Bay Abortion Fund are helping people, including by providing winter coats(!).

I know everyone is talking about Matt Gaetz but please don't miss this: Georgia fired every single person on its maternal mortality review committee. Why? They didn't like that reporters found out that the state's ban killed two women www.propublica.org/article/geor...

Woke up this morning remembering how, after Kerry's 2004 loss to W, the Democratic party and the press decided it was abortion's fault. When I tell you that this is not an exaggerated memory:
