Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.”
Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

South Carolina wants to follow in Louisiana's footsteps and reclassify abortion medication as a controlled substance and it's some dumbass shit with no basis in science. But it does make it even more dangerous to have babies here! #scpol hotfeminism.substack.com/p/south-caro...

We have the first county-by-county report on the status of girls and women in South Carolina and it paints a grim picture of economic insecurity, high maternal mortality, and scarce child care. But we can use the data to make change. Share widely.

After a white county in South Carolina rejected a data center, developers have sets their sights on a Black community for a proposed data center complex the size of 1,200 football fields
After a White Town Rejected a Data Center, Developers Targeted a Black Area

Lee Bright teams up with Rob Harris--I'm sure this legislation will not kill more women at all (Harris wants the death penalty for people who have abortions). What a duo.

Not coincidentally, the states losing federal money are among the few that guarantee families more than the most inhumane level of cash assistance.

Thank you, @aclusc.bsky.social for standing up for our rights, including our rights of free speech and academic freedom.
In the wake of the murder of Charlie Kirk, an organized political effort has emerged: Political figures are mining social media for statements about the murder and demanding that state employees be fired or otherwise pushed out of their jobs because of their speech. (1/5)
