Day 1 of our five-day series, "The Unraveling Safety Net," takes a look at one of the first states that carried out the "defunding" of Planned Parenthood and other family planning: Texas.

Within the first two years, Texas lost about 25% of all clinics, most of which were not Planned Parenthoods.

Texas advocates see familiar health care turmoil brewing as 'defunding' rule hits rest of the US

First in a five-part series.To some, the warning bells started sounding years ago.

Blessed for the load management I did with pick-up basketball during the Obama years. I have 3-5 different games each week; everyone just wants to run and keep off the pickle ball courts.

I don’t know who this might help but as someone who has managed depression her whole life, the absolute best thing you can do for yourself when you don’t know where to start is to move your body: whatever that looks like for you. Could be hiking a mountain. Could be gentle stretching lying in bed.

Reminds me of the clicks above all strategy newsrooms take. Not only does it warp editorial standards, it also put reporters/editors in this publisher mindset.

MAGA is a vehicle for a people with a worldview that everything bad in life is because of an enemy that must be exterminated and the horrible things they must do are part of that extermination.

The result did accelerate more people to act on that worldview.

jamelle @jamellebouie.net · 14d

i have said this before but i think that ones view of the current political situation is fundamentally shaped by how you view the outcome of the 2024 election. was it a definitive affirmation of the MAGA worldview or a narrow, extremely contingent result?

Put together some thoughts here.

In an earlier time he would have been the kind of writer being paid $5 a word by magazines to go write about whatever he pleased. And no one would be pissed off or jealous about it either.
www.welcometohellworld.com/life-is-a-pr...

He seemed to be struggling. With drinking and with not drinking of late. Always looking for work too. What a fucking condemnation of this industry that he was ever in need of it. One of his greatest pieces ever – on Haggard – was taken down by a corporation that decided it no longer needed great writing anymore. It can only be read on the internet archive . That’s just how the industry is now I suppose. In an earlier time he would have been the kind of writer being paid $5 a word by magazines to go write about whatever he pleased. And no one would be pissed off or jealous about it either. All of the rest of us scrabbling for that kind of gig just nodding in approval. That makes sense. He has that coming.

A couple years ago I offered him the most money I have ever offered anyone to write for Hell World. Not as much as he deserved mind you but a lot for me. Write about literally anything you want I said. He said he would. He promised he would write something for me multiple times over the years but one thing or another always came up. Something big just around the corner was about to happen.
