I would like to amplify this post by 1000x because Reuters f'd up this story to start with -- by falsely reporting that Costco would no longer carry mifepristone, when it never did -- and other news outlets ran with it and far-right legal groups are taking credit for something that didn't happen.
This is not a massive decision or any kind of change. Costco has never carried mifepristone in its pharmacies. An anti-abortion group is taking credit for something that didn't happen, possibly to generate disingenuous left-wing ire against one of the few corporations that hasn't gone MAGA.

Ella Fitzgerald was not allowed to perform in Hollywood's Mocambo because racism. Marilyn Monroe was a big fan & called the owner. She told him that if he booked Ella, she would be there every night, which guaranteed huge press coverage. He booked Ella.

Uphold due process & 1A rights. Demand release of Mahmoud Khalil.
Text SIGN PCFBKG to 50409 — We are now in the territory of Pastor Niemoller's famous poem:
First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me
Trump's bigotry is coming for everyone: for trade unions, for a list of words, for research.
The detention of Mahmoud Khalil by ICE is a violation of the rule of law and due process. Khalil has been charged with no offense.
What happened to the rule of law?
What happened to the first amendment? (It
prohibits Congress from making laws respecting an establishment of religion; prohibiting the free exercise of religion; or abridging the freedom of speech, the freedom of the press, the freedom of assembly, or the right to petition the government for redress of grievances. )
If you let due process and the rule of law be overturned for Mahmoud Khalil, who will be next?
This is not just an issue for Mr Khalil, not just an issue for New York State.
Hold hearings and bring ICE agents in to answer questions under oath.
Make additional funding for ICE contingent on accountability and legality.
If you do nothing you are complicit in the death of the rule of law and the rise of tyranny

Scenes like this wouldn’t be possible without whistleblowers coming forward about Elon Musk’s authoritarian takeover. Reminder that if you’re a public servant wishing to report fraud, waste, or abuse at a federal agency, you can do so on my website:
