TW: suicide . . . . . . My daughter died by suicide last night

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing. And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

The inaugural year of #HCWvsHunger was won by #BladesNBougies, a collaboration of anesthesiologists & surgeons in the name of feeding people. Where are my surgeons & anesthesiologists this year?! @msharifpourmd.bsky.social @chadybontv.bsky.social @glaucomflecken.bsky.social @datadrivenmd.social

This is why all general ob-gyn offices should offer medical and surgical pregnancy termination. Consolidating this service to an easily identifiable target limits access in this completely off the rails whackadoo country

Embattled reproductive healthcare providers and patients in the US are already dealing with unprecedented harassment and intimidation. The resurgence of blockades as a tactic carries significant potential for radicalizing participants to violence.

Black women are three times more likely to die from pregnancy related issues because of blatant and systemic racism and this is an example of how and why hospitals need to do better

I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/26/u...

The real poverty line is around $140k for a family of four, but it’s perversely hard to get there: “Every dollar you earn climbing from $40,000 to $100,000 triggers benefit losses that exceed your income gains. You are literally poorer for working harder.”

This is very good. Clear, calm, factual, and devastating for proponents of bans on puberty blockers for trans youth. theconversation.com/puberty-bloc...

Puberty blockers: why politicians overriding doctors sets a dangerous precedent

The government’s ban on puberty blockers undermines clinical expertise and targets trans youth with a policy that lacks evidence, consistency and fairness.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Mark your calendars because #HCWvsHunger 2025 starts in just one week… And if you donated early due to the shutdown keep those receipts because we are going to find a way to count them. Let’s feed some more people 🍎 hcwvshunger.org

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, we remember the bright and courageous trans people whose lives were stolen by hatred. Their absence is felt across our city. We will honor them by building a New York where every trans person can live safely, fully and freely.

This makes me so furious. Do not allow conservatives an inch on this. I don‘t care what they say they believed, we warned them about what would actually happen and they refused to listen. This blood is on their hands. www.propublica.org/article/texa...

IUDs do not work by preventing implantation of a fertilized egg. This is wrong and a lie concocted to withhold highly effective long-term contraception

Mississippi Free Press@mississippifreepress.org · 9mo ago

Women who get an abortion and anyone who helps them could face up to 30 years in prison under the bill. It appears to ban any contraception that prevents a fertilized egg from implanting. That would ban IUDs and could strictly limit in-vitro fertilization.

Remember the recent middle-of-the-night apartment building raid where children were dragged outside naked & zip-tied in the street while black & Latino residents were _sorted by race_ and piled into separate vans while their apartments were ransacked & robbed? That raid? So it resulted in 0 arrests.

The Kremlin disguised a nearly $100 mn payment to Trump in the form of a brokered real estate deal... and both Jeffrey Epstein and William Pulte were involved in the deal. That's very interesting.

it's been hard to put this feeling into words, but we've spent the past couple of decades being lectured to and patronized by an elite class that spent its free time joshing with jeffrey epstein about his little sex abuse empire while lecturing us about how out of touch we are

This isn't politics anymore. This is morality, and the dismantling of the Patriarchy....these nasty, disgusting men, AND the tratiorist women who support and defend them must be exposed and removed from public discourse for the safety of all of the women and children of the world.
