@ifwhenhow.bsky.social, @pregnancyjust.bsky.social, @renee.bsky.social, @andreagrimes.com, and other repro justice orgs/advocates have long pointed to harmful news coverage as a factor in pregnancy criminalization. These findings add further evidence to back their calls for journalists to do better.

They said this when Roe fell about why they couldn’t do anything then…with Biden as president. Look at how that turned out and ask yourself if you believe them this time.
The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November.

The FDA is conducting a senseless inquiry into the safety of mifepristone, the abortion medication first approved in the U.S. 25 years ago.
The science is clear: Mifepristone is extremely safe and effective. Let’s talk about it ⬇️#AbortionAccurate

Many thanks to everyone who preordered a copy. Preorders are so important to getting books on bookstore shelves. I hope those of you who have already received a copy are finding the book useful. I was also honored to gift some copies to Chicago ICE watchers at a protest I organized last night.

Everything matters and yes this does too.
A lot of folks may think that just yelling at ICE agents is ineffective, but consider the cumulative psychological toll of being yelled at EVERY DAY when trying to do shit. Even the biggest asshole in the world who doesn't give a shit about other people will feel the pressure.
