I love to hear people call my abortion history book a beach read! This was always my dream...to write a book about a difficult history that is still light and readable enough for people to take to the beach. Because let's be honest we all need a fucking break.

First beach read ✅️ @amylittlefield.bsky.social is a talented writer whose vivid imagery jumps off the page! If you're interested in abortion access in the US and how we got here, definitely pick up Killers of Roe

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

This week on rePROs Fight Back, Amy Myrick, Senior Council at the Center for Reproductive Rights @reprorights.org, talks with us about reproductive rights litigation in the four years since Roe fell, including key legal trends that have emerged in the post-Roe legal vacuum:

Uncertainty is a Given: Litigation Post-Roe — rePROs Fight Back

Since the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization case which overturned Roe v. Wade was decided, there’s been an abortion access crisis, an assault on legal precedent for abortion protections...

NEW from me: A new study examining pollution levels found that while general pollution levels have significantly declined, recent increases in wildfire smoke air pollution have offset those gains and could be contributing to negative outcomes for pregnant women and babies.

NEW: The Georgia crisis pregnancy center I investigated earlier this year for @autonomynews.co will *not* receive federal housing funds this year. The center—which says it's opening a maternity home—had requested $630k in HUD funds this year.

One Crisis Pregnancy Center Has Received $1.1 Million in Federal Housing Funds Since 2020

A Georgia anti-abortion organization is building a maternity home. Public opposition surfaced allegations of false advertising and medical licensing issues—and resulted in cease and desist letters.

It’s also important to remember postpartum psychosis is a rare psychiatric emergency, but also highly treatable. There are free hotlines where you can immediately access help if you’re suffering, such as the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline:

National Maternal Mental Health Hotline received over 12,000 calls and texts in its first year

Traffic to the hotline surged in January after Massachusetts mother Lindsay Clancy allegedly killed her three young children, according to data first shared with NBC News.

Just hooked up a pregnant person with glucometer supplies. The total for what the individual needed was $60. Did you know insurance doesn’t always cover these supplies for gestational diabetes? Donate on Venmo to @ caravanfund to help us keep providing pregnancy supplies!

“‘Should I keep paying my mortgage?’ Haitian families confront impossible choices around #TPS. As Haitian TPS nears an end, families are asking who will care for their children, whether to sell their homes and whether they can survive what comes next.” haitiantimes.com/2026/07/27/h...

AWFUL. Ordering ICE to target an ethnic group the president has repeatedly attacked is bigotry as official government policy. TPS recipients are the most vetted immigrants here. They have to pass background checks every 18 months. Most Haitians with TPS entered legally also!

ICE plans to target Haitians as Temporary Protected Status is set to end, sources say

The plans include arresting migrants in Ohio and quickly putting them on deportation flights to crisis-stricken Haiti, the internal documents indicate.

Upwards of 200,00 people may have lost their jobs today; or will in the upcoming days. There is a palpable sense of fear among the Haitian community right now. They need your support.

My Haitian friend was just fired from his job. "They said I don't have a legal status now." This is likely happening to hundreds of thousands of people across this country today. Sick.

2,753 people died at WTC. "Thousands" would sure be a high percentage of those victims' families. As one of those family members, I strongly suggest people listen to groups like September 11th Families for Peaceful Tomorrows instead of the hate-mongers among us. www.peacefultomorrows.org

September 11th Families for Peaceful Tomorrows | Peaceful Tomorrows

Peaceful Tomorrows is an organization founded by family members of those killed on September 11th who have united to turn our grief into action for peace.

1. This New York Post cover: “Thousands of 9/11 families demand Mamdani be banned from 25th-Anniversary” is a brazen lie. How do I know? I interviewed the organizer of the petition.
