You deserve access to abortion care if you are pregnant and do not want to be. Full stop.

Abortion is healthcare and everyone deserves healthcare access.

ICE has been active this morning staging in St Anthony so we still need people out patrolling our neighborhoods.
I’m headed to the Capitol today ahead of session starting next week to work on the 70 bills we have around ICE.

A point I make in my work on this subject is that we need to reject the insistance that convos abt commercial AI products should be about the tech. Determining whether AI is “conscious” is a Smartwashing exercise in solipcism that distracts from the material conditions of the product’s distribution

That the illegal destruction of USAID will kill more than *20 million people* in the next five years, & has ALREADY KILLED 600,000 in just one year, is a world-historical crime that Americans aren't being told about in the terms & with the repetition necessary for them to believe it.

One of every thousand American residents has been taken into custody by ICE in the last year.
A stunning detail the ICE chief shared in this hearing that was supposed to be a brag, except it isn't: ICE has arrested 379,000 people between Jan. 2025-Jan. 2026 -- but only 8,700 were suspected gang members or known suspected terrorists.

This question is weirdly hard, bc the starting place itself is a result of anti-trans propganda shaping the debate.
Trans surgeries, for all ages, are vastly rarer than hormone therapy only, which is itself rarer than social adjustments alone.
Youth trans surgeries are *incredibly* rare.

Genuinely curious: I thought that was the general guidance all along? Puberty blockers or hormone prescriptions for youth, but surgery later on?

I remember hearing a story about how a group of Norwegian laundresses fucked up German uniforms during the occupation in WWII. Little things like too much starch or shrinking wool, etc. Just things to keep in mind
What’s darkly funny is that there’s an old CIA manual about this, and how if enough people do it, it can destabilize a country. It’s still on their website right now after being declassified in 2008.
