A growing body of research demonstrating the safety and effectiveness of self-managed abortion with pills, coupled with the global pandemic in 2020 and the fall of Roe in 2022, has many U.S. doctors changing their views.

We are posting this placard at all of our offices and asking our union contract farms to post as well. We encourage our friends to put up similar placards at their business as immigration agents do not have the right to go on private property without permission.

We’re live-skeeting (?) this for @defendpublichealth.bsky.social. Use the hashtags #TruthMatters #RFKLies

Days like these are made for reading @rbhubbell.bsky.social . He’s a source of hope and the opposite of hot-takes in these days of a hostile federal government. Supreme Court authorizes kidnapping of immigrants open.substack.com/pub/roberthu...

There can be no justification for this. op: @aaronparnas.bsky.social

Donald Trump just unilaterally bombed Iran. A masked gang is terrorizing our streets. America has rapidly devolved into an authoritarian state. That's why, today, The Onion has purchased a full page ad in today's New York Times with a simple plea to Congress: Sit back and do absolutely nothing.

Just to be crystal clear: bombing Iran is completely illegal.

FTW.

This is damn absurd. Trump said that he would spend two weeks trying to negotiate a deal with Iran to avoid war. He said that two days ago. He clearly did not mean what he said.

Iran’s stockpile dropped to 0 after Obama made the Iran Deal… until Trump pulled out of it (against the advice of his own Defense Secretary, General Mattis… because he hated Obama) Feels pretty relevant in this moment.

BREAKING: Trump says the US completed an attack on Iran’s nuclear sites at Fordow, Natanz and Esfahan “A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. All planes are safely on their way home.“

Another loss in court for Trump Admin. Feds can't block Harvard from hosting foreign students, judge rules www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-a...

Lander is an eminently qualified candidate who could have seen the failure of his won campaign as a reason to be embittered against Mamdani (as, ahem, others did) but instead is pivoting to united the left-liberal vote and dampen Cuomo’s chances. Profoundly decent, stand up thing to do.

Two weeks. Beyond parody.

Matt Walsh told Joe Rogan it was millions. In reality the numbers are miniscule, and parents are involved. But this is what Republicans want you focused on — as they cut taxes for the rich, health care and food for the poor, and privatize everything for their donors.

28-year-old Pedro Luis Salazar-Cuervo, who has no known criminal record, was accused by Texas police of being in a Venezuelan gang because they found a photo of him posing with another man with tattoos, his lawyers say. From ProPublica partner @texastribune.org:

I hope Trump also brings into his war cabinet that kid who once ran a model UN.

🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️

Took a deep dive into the alleged Minnesota assassin's religious background....from his spiritual awakening in a vegetable canning factory.... to his enrollment at a charismatic christian bible school in Dallas, and found evidence linking him to christian nationalism www.wired.com/story/christ...

He’s moving us toward what’s called a “police state.” Random abductions and detentions. Disappeared people. Federal troops on our streets. We won’t stand for it.

NEW: The Trump administration broke the law when it withheld federal funding for libraries under an executive order signed by the president to reduce regulatory overreach, a federal watchdog found www.nytimes.com/2025/06/16/u...

Can Thune really believe this? The Republicans embrace the magic asterisk nonsense of supply-side economics the way a toddler embraces the tooth fairy.

Singer Nezza was told to sing the national anthem in English at the Dodgers game - she sang it in Spanish anyway. The crowd cheered as she finished “The Star-Spangled Banner” en español 🇺🇸🇨🇴🇩🇴 The Spanish version was commissioned by the US govt in 1945 to foster better relations with Latin America.

A reflection on No Kings Day twenty four hours later. open.substack.com/pub/roberthu...

Targets included Democrats, abortion providers and NO KINGS rallies. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/15/u...

The Minnesota assassin appears to be a hate-filled right winger. So can we stop walking on eggshells about MAGA's legitimization of political violence? Yes, Republicans have also been the target of inexcusable violence, but this isn't a "both sides" issue. 1/ A🧵on the danger.

When NO KINGS reigns over your parade. #SAD 🤣

“Everybody liked her and respected her on both sides of the aisle,” said former Gov. Tim Pawlenty, a Republican.

The "I'll lower costs and get us out of endless wars" candidate is now presiding over surging costs and brand new wars.

Put this on a billboard.

The most important words of our Constitution are the first three: We the People. We have no Kings here, no monarchs, no slaves and no subjects. We the People.

Listen to this great American. This nation is privileged to have a man of this character in the United States Senate. Thank you @padilla.senate.gov. We stand with you.

Boebert: What we’re seeing in LA is an insurrection Pritzker: You don’t know understand what insurrection is. It is outrageous that you are asking that when you are the one condoning the pardoning of people that attacked police.

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

In LA, Trump's secret police act just like secret police: The agents - some masked - detain individual and refuse to identify themselves in a church parking lot. An agent points gun at the pastor who had objected to their presence. One says: "The whole country is our property."

"Whatever the nature of the crisis, it forces the revolutionaries to make a choice. Give up—or radicalize. Find compromises—or polarize society further. Slow down—or use violence" The logic of revolution is always the same www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Double.

Governor Newsom gave a great speech last night.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Men and women in uniform put their lives on the line for our country. In return, the Trump Administration slashed defense medical research that helps address the physical and mental injuries from their years of service. Shameful.

If you are angry with a protester for throwing a rock or lighting a fire, that is precisely what Trump *wanted* to happen. He is the cause of this behavior. Hold Trump, who has all the power, accountable, not some desperate kid on the street Trump wants to use as an excuse for totalitarianism.

Hm interesting bit from Sen. Cassidy's floor speech endorsing RFK Jr www.cassidy.senate.gov/newsroom/pre...

Not a doctor. Not a scientist. No. A longtime heroin addict and current steroid enthusiast who perjured himself in confirmation hearings in order to pursue a twisted agenda that will kill more Americans than Osama Bin Laden.
