1/ For ProPublica’s “Life of the Mother” series, winner of the 2025 Pulitzer Prize for public service, we reported on five pregnant women who died after not receiving timely medical care in states with strict abortion bans.

These are their stories 🧵

This is a perfect example of successful peaceful protest.

A calm, respectful, articulate woman forced the brutes to show their true colours.

Doubtful many of us have ever looked as cool as @emilyjaynef.bsky.social does in these images.

Well, I had an interesting Sunday night, how 'bout you?
🧵
NY-17 Rep. Mike Lawler had a local social worker physically dragged out of his town hall Sunday night.

Emily Feiner was singled out by private security, lifted out of her seat, as the crowd chanted “let her stay” and “shame, shame.”
She’s a constituent.
Not a threat.
Fascism again.

The election is over but the MAGA onslaught against Prime Minister Carney and Canadian unity has only just started.
In the gangster world of Putin, Trump and trolls, Canada is a threat because we are a democratic nation.
My reflection on the coming storm.

🧵 UK trans ppl feel powerless & abandoned. It’s not surprising, given how the media & politicians Other them relentlessly; how the ‘official’ UK human rights watchdog was issuing anti-trans illegal guidance for years & how the UK Supreme Court found against them, without listening to them [1]

I saw my first cybertruck in real life tonight. It made me feel gross.

This photo also made me feel gross, but in more of a "can't stop giggling" kind of way.

Well played, unknown sign writer. Well played.

You receive a call on your phone.

The caller says they're from your bank and they're calling about a suspected fraudulent payment.

"Oh yeah," you think. Obvious scam, right?

The caller says "I'll send you an in-app notification to prove I'm calling from your bank."

Every review of youth gender medicine is just, "there's evidence that this helps and no evidence that this causes harm, but here's why that doesn't count."
reading the HHS "gender dysphoria report" summary and this is some truly insidious shit. sure, all the studies SAY the kids are happier, but we bet they aren't actually. they're all hopped up on something we bet probably

They totally used chatgpt to generate portions of the HHS anti-trans report. They used a made up citation style and then put 404 not found for a link. Just insane.

The HHS report on gender dysphora -- henceforth the "Trump Report" -- really is that apocalyptic of a broadside against trans people. Nothing in it is law -- yet. Which is why it's a good time for cis people to make angry noises about it and trans people to make plans for what to do next.

How does Zionism inevitably lead to genocide? Understanding how we got to this horrific moment in history — the US giving unconditional support for the Israeli government to massacre Palestinians — requires clarity about how we got here. The bedrock that this genocide rests upon is Zionism.

🧵 Were you one of those straight Irish people dancing in the streets, after the same sex marriage referendum?

Time to start campaigning again. This time so that trans adults & kids get timely & best practise healthcare.

Scarily the HSE has signed up to the widely dismissed & inhumane UK model [1]
‘It left me traumatised’: The barriers to accessing transgender healthcare in Ireland
The HSE has admitted that transgender healthcare is ‘limited’ and is ‘not meeting people’s full range of needs’.

Imagine the hubris and malice required to send so many of your countryfolk to their deaths.

Imagine deciding that one thousand dead wasn't enough. Then ten thousand. Then one hundred thousand.

Imagine it was all in vain.

Putin is as much a menace to Russia as he is to Ukraine.

While public protest doesn't always have an immediate impact on its subject, it WILL make you feel good.

Shouting in public with like-minded people is a fun and effective way to feel more empowered and less alone.
