Headline doesn't make clear the point: "The proclamation gives the county the power to assist residents they say have been impacted financially by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) action." So it's treating ICE like a natural disaster. Only ongoing, and very unnatural

Miscarriage + Abortion Hotline @mahotline.bsky.social · 2d
Abortion is unstoppable! Even if this administration bans mifepristone providers are prepared to prescribe misoprostol-only (the second medication in abortion pills). You can still have a safe abortion at home in all 50 states.
Our hotline is here for you!

The FDA is mounting a review of the safety of mifepristone.

“It’s unclear what studies they will review, whether they are peer-reviewed or junk science reports recently released by anti-abortion groups,” says ANSIRH researcher Dr. Ushma Upadhyay.

Has a Catholic leader:
- Denied you a sacrament because of your values?
- Used the pulpit to sway an election?
- Pushed religious doctrine into healthcare decisions?

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

Russell Vought has announced that "mass firings [RIFs] have begun."

Lawless. The RIFs in the spring were illegal, as Judge Illston outlined. Yes, the conservative SCOTUS supermajority lawlessly signed off. But the Calvinball Court is not doing law.
