Peaceful assembly isn’t an insurrection.

Storming the Capitol to hang your own vice-president and end democracy is.

More attacks on Venezuelan boats as a temper tantrum? Someone is going to be disappointed and very unhappy ...

Just saying ... also, saying blowing civilian boats up without fact finding on a random basis doesn't seem right, does it?

Most anti-abortion crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs) are unregulated, and that includes what they can do with pregnant people’s sensitive health information. That’s why this news coming out of Hawaii is so important! #StopFakeClinics

Anti-abortion crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs) are using “telehealth” to intercept pregnant people who may be considering abortion and prevent or delay their access to care. This includes new network of centers in #Chicago!

Read and learn more: www.reprotransparency.org/fake-clinics...

Turquoise, purple, and pink gradient frame borders a screenshot of a news article from Ms. Magazine published on September 4, 2025. Article is titled, "Digital deception: beware the rise of fake telehealth abortion clinics." Subheading reads: "As abortion pills and telehealth expand access nationwide, anti abortion crisis pregnancy centers are rebranding as telehealth providers to mislead and delay patients seeking real care." An excerpt from the article placed over a purple box reads, "'CPCs are using telehealth in blue states as well. In Pennsylvania, CPCs are promoting 'virtual counseling,' including North Care Women’s Clinic, Women’s Choice Network and ThriVe. In Illinois, the Purple Clinic uses telehealth to direct clients to physical CPC locations in the Chicago area." By Carrie N. Baker.

Men with guns wearing masks in civilian cars are abducting off the streets little girls walking home from school.

The United States is now a fascist police state. If you support this then you are the enemy of freedom and democracy. I will never stop resisting you or Trump.

Latina women who work full time, year round, and part time earn only 54 cents for every $1 earned by a white male. Take a stand against pay discrimination & occupational segregation!

Better way to announce the news!
As the spiritual leader of the Church of England, the Archbishop of Canterbury heads a global Anglican community of around 85 million people, across 165 countries.

New: Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast will shutter its two Louisiana clinics and exit the state.

The clinics have never provided abortions—the state wouldn't grant licenses—and affiliate's Texas clinics haven't offered abortion since 2022, so "defund" bill doesn't affect PPGC. @nolanews.bsky.social

"This is not a decision we wanted to make," said Melaney Linton, the president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast, adding that "political warfare" on the nonprofit by its opponents forced the cl...

Twenty-five years ago today, the FDA approved mifepristone for abortions.

Now, it's more under threat than ever. I took a look at its history and the current efforts to restrict access to the abortion pills for @motherjones.com:

On its 25th birthday, mifepristone is more under attack than ever

The FDA's approval of the revolutionary drug in 2000 helped change abortion access nationwide.
