NEW: Our latest analysis shows that top news outlets frequently vilify people criminalized for allegedly self-managing an abortion in ways that help to legitimize the policing of pregnancy and normalize far-right "fetal personhood" ideology.

I'm raising funds to make sure the people offering advice at Scarleteen have access to healthcare! Your contributions to my personal fundraising page will count towards an overall $10k match so they count double right now.

Scarleteen began when young people started writing to Heather asking for advice with sex and relationships, and that one-on-one, personally tailored advice is still at the core of what we do. Advice columns are some of our most popular content.

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

NEW — I spoke to DoorDash about the White House claiming the company's report shows "inflation has been tamed" and whether that's an interpretation one should make. An economist also weighed in, pointing out dictatorships use data obfuscation as a tool, and right now they're "grasping at straws."
WH claims 'inflation tamed,' per DoorDash stats. Company says that's not in its report.
It comes the same week we learned the WH would likely not release key economic reports for October.

While SNAP benefits begin to resume, many families will still be catching up.

We’ll continue to be to provide direct payments to Black mamas and caregivers who have been disproportionately affected.
