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.

Kegseth’s former employer, Pox Nooz, has also refused to sign. It really says something about how onerous the Pentagon’s new press policy is that far right MAGAt mouthpieces like Pox and Newsmax have declined to sign on. Good for them!

The most anti-free speech administration in American history strikes again. And btw, before you yell, please know that’s it’s perfectly legal to publicly post the location of any ICE raid or ICE activities. That’s protected speech.

My favorite S&G song has always been ‘Scarborough Fair’. I’ve never been a big fan of Simon’s solo work. Between the two of them, Art Garfunkel definitely has the better voice, IMHO.
