Steve Daines (R-MT): Let’s talk federal derugulation of abortion drugs. Cites a bunch of bullshit claiming mifepristone is unsafe. (Not true)

@jessicavalenti.bsky.social Someone needs to tell Daines that Montanan women have REPEATEDLY voted to maintain their right to choose.

Each year editors and contributors @thecontinent.org nominate their Africans of the Year. These are people who made the continent better. I picked Madeleine Fullard — the woman who won't let us forget. To me she’s more than a “gravedigger” as she once described herself.
Page 24 of issue 186 The Continent (Africans of the Year 2024 edition). It’s an illustration of a blonde wearing a black top by Nzilani Simu. Headline: The woman who won't let us forget Blurb: This self-described 'gravedigger' is collecting evidence of apartheid crimes - and giving rest to the dead. Body: South Africa is often described as a crime scene. Evidence of the brutality of the apartheid regime is scattered all over Southern Africa. Thirty years after the official end of apartheid, there are some who would prefer that certain parts of the country’s history, and where it intersects with the rest of the region, remain buried. Madeleine Fullard is not one of them. In September, Fullard was in Zimbabwe, exhuming the remains of 15 freedom fighters who died in exile. It was far from her first dig. She tweeted a picture of her team with the words: “Two countries, four cities, seven cemeteries, forty eight exhumations.” Fullard once described herself as a “gravedigger” to The Guardian. There’s more to it than that. The job of this self-described “obsessive tabulator of pre-1994 dead”, and former Truth and Reconciliation Commission researcher, is to find out what happened to people who disappeared between 1960 and 1994. In that era, South Africa was governed as a white supremacist state. It also engaged in widespread cross-border destabilisation tactics, including murdering anti-apartheid activists and freedom fighters abroad. Fullard seeks to recover the remains of the victims where possible. It is not an easy task. She follows strands of incomplete stories, fading memories and hearsay. It is even harder to find disintegrated bone fragments, often all that’s left of those hastily buried where they fell or were forgotten in a pauper’s grave. In many African cultures and traditions, a person who is not properly buried or grieved does not rest, nor does their family. Fullard and her team cannot bring apartheid victims back to life – but their difficult work can give some measure of closure.
