Absolutely not. First of all, not the appropriate role of the Attorney General. Second of all, abortion bans don't stop them from happening. They just make them harder to access, put women's lives at risk, and reduce access to reproductive healthcare for all women.

So I pre-ordered Bluesky’s Own Aaron Mahnke’s new book _Exhumed_ and so glad I did! It’s the Mercy Brown vampire story, in-depth and explaining the roots of how it happened. Written with compassion and humor, if you like Lore you will LOVE this. Highly recommended!

Some of my friends might like this news!

Donald Trump wants to spend your taxpayer dollars separating families and building new ICE prisons. In 2016, I voted against reopening this prison in Appleton. In the Senate, I'm not going to send one more penny to this lawless, out-of-control agency. Let's rip ICE apart.

Good night, world. I love you.

That's what taxes are, man. That's the definition of taxes. "You are subsidizing things you might never use" man shut the fuck up. My taxes currently subsidize like oil company exec private jets, you think I'm upset at low-income people eating inexpensive bananas?

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

Inflammatory disorders can be brutal. I’d know personally (thanks vasculitis et al). But the misinformation, including on vaccines, is dangerous. A deep dive from me into how MAHA sped up the inflammation panic. New from me at @motherjones.com www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The Great Inflammation panic

The wellness world's favorite buzzword has gone federal. For those of us with real inflammatory disorders, the misinformation isn't just annoying—it's harmful.

Medicare for All isn’t "too much." A $16,000 deductible is too much.

here's a fun lil exercise for cis people: how many articles would a publication have to print calling for your extermination before you would expect people who care about you to stop giving them money? and how would you feel if their excuse for still supporting them is some fuckass crossword puzzle?

It is far too easy for those in a position of privilege to judge the actions of others through the lens of that privilege, supporting laws and rules the protect it while vilifying those who don't have it. Honor is not to blindly follow rules, but to see them for what they are, and who they benefit.

Good night, world. I love you.

I just found out that Elder Spawn hosted a craft day at her house for her friends and taught them a new skill. I don’t talk about her as much because she’s an adult and lives states away, so I’m so happy to share how delightful she is. I love my kids. They are forces for good.

i don't believe anyone has "good-faith" concerns about trans women in sports in 2026. there's been too much time to hear the actual evidence, the actual people affected, and the role the debate plays in attempts to purge trans people from American life. anybody picking that side has made a choice

Halfway through Bluesky’s Own Tom Cox’s collection of short stories _Help the Witch_. They’re so delightfully British without the cloying part. Truly enjoying it.

Ameaka Fatima Nkempu, a Johns Hopkins University researcher in public health, was detained by ICE while boarding a domestic flight. She says she is Cameroonian in a Medium article that she authored. As of Thursday morning, the ICE Online Detainee Locator did not list where she was being held.
