Despite many states imposing sweeping abortion bans after Dobbs, more Americans are having abortions, not fewer. Virtual consultations and prompt delivery of pills by mail allow people in all 50 states to access abortion care from the privacy of their homes for $150 or less.
Abortion Continues to Increase in 2025 as Telehealth Expands, Especially in States with Bans and Restrictions
The latest #WeCount report finds that abortion access is growing as patients turn to telehealth abortion pills and shield law providers.

Every member of Congress voted to release the Epstein files except for one holdout. The DOJ blew the legal deadline because they’re running cover for Trump. Bondi broke the law.

The adult, the decent person, wants justice served regardless of who committed crimes.
Only the immature, tribalistic, and morally deficient want to shield those "on their side" from justice. That's not justice: it must be impartial, total, and consequential. Always.

We already knew Bill Clinton and other Dems were in the files. But we said release everything and let the chips fall. Congress passed a law to release everything. But DOJ decided to violate that law by cherry picking certain things while covering for Trump and his cronies.

Fuck that:
I've been ranting/screaming that the GOP was hellbent on tearing down secular, pluralistic, liberal democracy since around 1990 when I was 12ish.
It's been obvious to even a fucking child growing up in the reagan years; though my older relatives (even some repubs) warning this helped.

Call them the Cassandras: the people—mostly not white and male—who smelled the fascism all over Trump from jump street. Why were they “alarmists,” and how did “anti-alarmism” become cool?
