Amazing!! Women Help Women (womenhelp.org) is manufacturing their own abortion pills in order to make abortion safer, simpler and more accessible across borders. They designed an eco-friendly combi-pack that's easier to mail discreetly and centred around women’s experiences and needs.

Mark Kelly: "For most of Donald Trump's career, bullying people has worked out for him, but not now, because I won't let it happen. President Trump is trying to silence me, threatening to kill me for saying this true, & he sent his secretary after me, & it's not going to work."

Thank you all
Without farmworkers we wouldn’t be able to celebrate Thanksgiving. Be thankful for their hard work this holiday season!

Sin los trabajadores agrícolas no podríamos celebrar el Día de Acción de Gracias. ¡Agradece su arduo trabajo en estas fiestas!

Dr. Mary Edwards Walker was born 193 years ago today: Nov. 26, 1832.

She was a doctor, Civil War surgeon, and women's dress reform advocate, but is best known as America's only female Medal of Honor recipient. Here's a great 2019 We're History article about her from author R.E. Fulton.
Dr. Mary E. Walker: “Clothes Make the (Wo)man”
“It is a shame that people who lead reforms in this world are not appreciated until after they are dead…”

Given the Trump administration's rampant white supremacy, the James Comey dismissal may very well prove to be the only thing Trump accomplishes "without prejudice."

I'm guessing he's never flown coach on a red eye w/ a tyke kicking the ever shrinking seats, you need to to pee but the line is too long & you're on the window seat, person on the aisle is asleep & the middle person decided to spread out so uses your tray table & both armrests.
Trump's secretary of transportation Sean Duffy is scolding Americans to "dress professionally" for holiday travel at airports and such.

Democratic lawmakers, this is said in love: if you're not mocking these assholes relentlessly over this, then what are we even doing here?

As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that we’d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.

In Morrow County, healthy adults were coming down with unexplained medical conditions, including diseases that usually afflicted the elderly.

In a survey of 30 homes, at least 25 miscarriages and a half dozen people living with one kidney were reported.

The regime is doing all it can to kill renewable energy.
It is deeply in the pocket of the fossil fuel industry.
To all our detriment.
