#RoeVWade: #Women in red states with terribly restrictive #reproductiverights bans can get #abortion pills from overseas doctors via telemedicine with no legal consequences. #AbortionIsHealthcare #AbortionRights #WomensRightsAreHumanRights #4B

Women in states that ban abortion will still be able to get abortion pills online from overseas

Many women in states with bans on abortion will likely turn to websites to order mifepristone, and self manage abortions at home.

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!

14 states and Guam have formed the Governors Public Health Alliance in response to the Reich’s gutting of US healthcare. The Alliance will help strengthen coordination, data-sharing, emergency preparedness and policy action across state borders on public health threats.

Democratic governors form a public health alliance in a rebuke of Trump

They're framing it as a way to share data and messages about threats, emergency preparedness and public health policy at a time when the federal government isn't doing its job in public health.

A win! A federal judge has temporarily blocked the Trump admin from carrying out mass layoffs during the ongoing government shutdown. The case centers on Trump’s statements indicating that the planned firings would be politically motivated, targeting employees based on their political affiliation.

I'm planning to live streaming from the Portland ICE Facility tomorrow, Wednesday, 5pm pst, 8pm est.

Those who perpetrate violence against the American people for their use of the 1st amendment need to be held accountable.

It's also perfectly legal to report sightings of law enforcement, including ICE, to your fellow humans. Helping your fellow humans prepare for potential interactions is called being a decent human being.

Hey American farmers, Trump just doubled Argentina's bailout from $20 billion to $40 billion.

That's the same Argentina that, because of Trump's tariffs, has now supplanted ALL of America's soybean sales to China.

Trump sold you out – then gave the guy who benefited an extra $40 billion gift.

No, anyone who’s been paying attention did not. It’s very good that these messages were leaked because not everyone pays attention. 👍

Some of the leaked Telegram messages from leaders of Young Republican groups across the US, spewing racism and antisemitism and celebrating rape, genocide and Hitler. This is who they are when they think no one’s looking. Well, we’re looking. 👀 #VoteBlueNoMatterWho

Money already approved for projects that Trump is using the shutdown to defund comes from less than 3% of Republican districts, compared with Democratic districts.
