The amount of surveillance workers are being subject to to work from home is wild to me and feels like so many rights violations.

Like monitoring all the sites you go to?! Wtf.

re-reading this 2025 recap from one of the long-time hearthline workers at access reproductive care-southeast and cannot recommend it enough. It’s a powerful reflection of what it means to work in reproductive justice and offers a glimpse of what’s ahead.

The judge also ordered that teachers have a right to misgender trans youth even when the parents know of and are supportive of their trans child. Just in case you thought this was actually about parental rights.
24 Dec 2025 @rikiwilchins.bsky.social -- Judge overturns CA school policy on outing trans kids, rules parents have right to know & teachers a right to tell them but no mention of child's rights. Case likely bound for Supremes. Weirdly CA law allows abortion w/o parental notification.
Federal judge rules California teachers are allowed to ‘out’ transgender students to parents
The ruling applies to all public schools in California and is a victory for two teachers who claimed that district policies violated their constitutional free speech and religious rights.

SNAP is a lifeline for workers in low-wage jobs.

Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.

Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.

Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

"It’s February 2025; the concrete floor is particularly cold. Some of us are bundled up with small cups of burnt coffee and wooden stirrers. “What risks are you willing to take to support reproductive justice?” The question hangs in the air."

This reflection from my colleague Kenny is a must read.

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.
