“No Kings” is great , but we really don't get a functioning democracy back until we internalize, bone deep, the instinctive response to this and every other statement like it: “I don’t care what that rich guy thinks.”

Make it your morning affirmation. Say it ten times at the top of every hour.

I’m no PP friend - especially right now - but the move to allow HRSA to revoke 340b status is a really really dangerous precedent

This is such a huge fear for me. We know this is happening here, and that folks are trying to deliver at home with no support, too.

ICE is targeting people in hospitals and clinics, deterring people from accessing essential pregnancy care.

Many patients — nervous about encountering immigration officials — are skipping virtually all of their pregnancy-related health care.

ICE fears put pregnant immigrants and their babies at risk

Fear of deportation is deterring people without permanent legal status from critical care. Doctors are worried for their health — and the health of their pregnancies.

I just bought a (very small) Gee Bend quilt at the #kentuck art fair so that makes me a real Alabamian now?

Large quilt square with one inch of white border, then one of navy then two of bright red, the two of a white with red and blue flowers with green leaves, then two inches of navy. Inside the final navy is horizontal stripes of one flower strip one red strip one flower one navy one flower one red one flower

Conservatives approach media and art the same way they approach everything, from economics to biology: they project what they want to see onto it and then read back their own internal narrative as if finding it outside themselves.

The Humanist Report @humanistreport.bsky.social · 2d

Conservatives have absolutely no media literacy whatsoever.

Confession- yesterday was the first time I’d seen the birth suite since it was finalized. I LOVE it!

Small room with graige walls and light wood plank looking flooring. A large window I the blinds is the the center, and in front of it is a neatly made white metal framed double bed with white bedding covered in rainbow print flowers and birds. A black leather armchair is in the left back corner with an orange and white quilt folded and laying over its back. A large turquoise birthing pool (empty) is in the front left, and the end of a white bureau can be seen on the front right.

Different angle taken from the leather armchair with bed in the left corner, tub in right edge. It front is the white long bureau with framed photos and a baby scale on it. Next to it on the left is a cart of monitors and supplies. Between the cart and bed is the closed brown wood door that leads to the private bath.

So last week when I said I was done holding my tongue on Planned Parenthood it was because I learned #ppse laid off most of the regions policy staff. But that was just the tip of the iceberg. www.saveppse.com
