oh man just thought about how rancid the print op eds (are?) will be. bet at least one malignant goober is gonna take it in the direction of “and this is why YOUNG PEOPLE GETTING TATTOOS is bad” devoid of any recognition of the underlying Nazi association and associated white supremacy at play

where do these full adult fascists keep running into these spontaneously generating, prominently displayed hate symbols?

“flag swastika is an illusion only visible on film”

“inexplicably my tattoo, which i still have & often made visible in public, turned out to be a totenkopf!”

can’t relate 🪢↪️

The reality is a lot of people who support decent class policies have racist backgrounds and it makes me wonder how the "it's not race, it's class" progressive and leftist discourse may be part of the problem. Anyways, racial justice work needs to be central to class politics.

Much of the munitions used by federal and state law enforcement contain heavy metals and lead salts known to cause cancer and birth defects. This is true for smoke grenades as well, not just teargas.

Menstrual irregularities are common and look different for different people.

These effects are common from CS and OC gas.

At least 5 people in Portland in the past few months alone have had miscarriages, including 3 non protesters who live in the apartment building near the ICE facility where chemicals regularly seep into their homes. Children and animals are regularly exposed to these chemicals.

My solidarity with trans people isn’t at odds with Reproductive Justice — it’s integral to it.

I will keep using inclusive language. I will keep including trans people in my work.

Our liberation is bound together.
Are you coming along?

The same forces attacking abortion access are attacking gender-affirming care — both rooted in control.

We can’t stop at abortion access. We have to dig injustice out at the root, not just when it touches our own gardens.

Abortion is health care — but it’s also about bodily autonomy, self-determination, and the right to shape our own futures.

Trans people are in a parallel, interconnected fight.

Pregnant women are people. “Pregnant people” doesn’t erase cis women’s experiences with pregnancy — it expands the frame.

It helps make all reproductive health safer and more accessible for everyone.

screenshot of text message circulating among college students where a guy who is working for a frey-supporting PAC asks someone to get people in their frat to "vote and engage in the election" to get paid $350 for 3 hours of work, and if they win, they'll get a bonus

"it'll look good on a resume."

Hydra is delivering 10,000 postcards around the area to share information about abortion pills by mail. There's also this new, very sharable guide online — and soon to be in print.

Your Guide to Getting an Abortion in the U.P. — The Hydra Fund

A safe, factual guide to abortion care in Michigan's Upper Peninsula: medication and clinic options, costs, and regional resources.

Thrilled to collab with @shoutyourabortion.bsky.social and the Hydra Mutual Aid Fund on this! If you live in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, you can visit this shiny new billboard (live on US-41 outside of Marquette), see a primetime ad right on your tv, and check your mail for a postcard from us!

a billboard in front of pine trees. It says "Abortion pills by mail. In the UP, your mailbox might be your closest clinic. PlanCPills.org."

During Thanksgiving and holidays, people want to do food drives where they collect canned goods etc... and I really would love to offer that food banks need MONEY so if you can collect and donate MONEY please do that. They can then use those funds to purchase what's needed AT DISCOUNTS.

Anybody know how old that part of the White House is? Not sure of much about its structure, presume facade was a more contemporary add but I’d have to look it up if I wanted to know, which seems like a lot of work,
