If you live in an abortion-restricted state, order your abortion pills now. PlanCPill.org will direct you to a provider who delivers to your state. If you live in Texas, you'll need to go through AidAccess.org. Legal jeopardy is on the provider, not the recipient--for now. So order them now.

To reiterate: Pixar's Inside Out 2 is the highest grossing animated film of all time.
Pixar also pushed artists into 7-days-a-week crunch, and right when they were getting to the finish line, laid them off.
These overworked artists lost their bonus, healthcare, and income in SF.

Even in areas where the Israeli ground invasion has not reached, Gaza’s society has been decimated and its economy no longer exists, while basic goods can be found on the black market for ten times their prewar price.
