Abortion services are 4% of what they provide and federal funds don’t even go toward that. All Republicans do is lie.
Karen “the good kind”@kpsinging.bsky.social · last yr.Ok wait looked up my own answer:
I feel like most people don’t know that not only does Planned Parenthood provide medical services using sliding scale payments (offering no cost for those who can’t afford them), Planned Parenthood also provides medical services for men. The value they provide is immeasurable. Closing them is stupid
Planned Parenthood is the only place for many Americans to access things like Pap smears, and routine health maintenance and cancer prevention. Anyone who thinks they just provide abortions or mostly provide abortions doesn’t know anything
Susan Rinkunas@susanrinkunas.com · last yr.When anti-abortion activists talk about “defunding” Planned Parenthood, they focus on tax dollars going to an org that (separately) provides abortions. They don’t tell people that it would shutter hundreds of clinics making it harder to get abortions and so many other services like birth control

What are some good orgs for trans youth that could use some donations on this awful day? Reply below.
We also get into the issue of, "If I call during a crisis, will cops show up to my door for a wellness check?" Fewer than 2% of calls to 988 end up connecting with 911 and in half of those cases, the caller has given their address for immediate help.
I give out the 988 line on the show every week, have for years. This week, I go in depth on how it works, how it's holding up, the potential loss of the LGBTQ specialized service, and how it all gets paid for.
Depresh Mode with John Moe@depreshmode.bsky.social · last yr.The Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, 988, launched three years ago and it's time for a checkup. We look at its stability, supply & demand, funding issues, rumors, and potentially devastating cut to one of its key services. Hannah Wesolowski from NAMI joins us. maximumfun.org/episodes/dep...

There is a program called Books Unbanned running through the Boston, Seattle, LA, San Diego and Brooklyn Public Libraries. It allows anyone 13-21 to check out ebooks and Audiobooks no matter where they live. The Boston link is easy to use compared to Brooklyn.
Five weeks ago, Mary Kate Cornett was a first-year business major dating another Ole Miss student. Then a spurious claim about her and her boyfriend’s father spread — and was amplified by Pat McAfee, Barstool personalities and others. http://dlvr.it/TJtKS4

It’s #SunshineWeek, a week that celebrates & promotes access to information and open government nationwide. Today, we’re highlighting the power of #FOIA with a thread about its past, present, and future.

Notes from Poland @notesfrompoland.bsky.social · 2y agoLocal authorities have pledged to take action after a 200-year-old shrine in a Polish village was “renovated” by an unknown person, who repainted sculptures of Jesus and the Virgin Mary in a manner that has caused both amusement and anger.
Listen to me, Democrats everywhere, you have got to be saying this kind of shit right now all the time like she has been. The literal least you can do. At least pretend like you have a fucking spine.

Here’s a cheat sheet with all the phone numbers for the US Senate. I have a feeling we’ll be calling them a lot in the near future.

As an offshoot of this thread, let’s talk about what happens if federal, state, or local officials text, email, call, or show up at your door wanting to talk to you about what you said about the President. I have a theme, a thesis, a throughline, a leitmotif, which is SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH. /1
