Trump & Republicans’ attacks on women’s health are making it harder for women to get the reproductive care they need in all corners of our country.
I met with doctors from @prhdocs.bsky.social to hear how they're adapting to these new barriers.

disrupting the way we show up, organize, use our body power, use a collective voice… that’s the point. even through the grief and grief and grief, stick together. move as a community.

This violence against Palestinians and the land is unfathomable. Free Palestine means the people AND the land. The two are always together.

The point of solidarity is that no one person can do it all alone. Stake out what you're gonna do & have your friends stake out their turf, too. Share information, watch them from all sides, and act strategically together.
We need to keep our focus in multiple places at once.
We need to protest the horrific atrocities unfolding,
AND we need to remember that they want our attention away from (as someone in my mentions aptly put it) the thieves in the treasury.
We can hold both.

It may feel like we’re doing something, but during such moments, we are experiencing an impact rather than having one."
