Anti-abortion politicians will stop at nothing to deny people essential health care, including threatening to lock up doctors and those who help people get abortions.

No one should face prosecution for helping someone end their pregnancy.
New York doctor indicted for prescribing abortion pill in Louisiana
The case appears to be the first instance of criminal charges against a doctor accused of sending abortion pills to another state since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

In my years of reporting on LGBTQ news this was by far the hardest.

But we are still here. You made it to Friday. You lived. Good job. That wasn’t easy.

Through a diversity of tactics, we will continue to live.

Rest up, drink water, find community, so that we can all be here tomorrow too.

very scary times, but there is still a future with fighting for. yes, it's wrong that we all have to fight for this shit in 2025, but pouting and saying "i dont wanna" is going to hurt everyone (and you!), fight the urge to consider your actions meaningless and help + take care of yourself. ❤️

Memo to journalists: There's a high likelihood the thing you are writing about does not "raise concerns" about something bad happening -- it is in fact the bad thing happening. Reevaluate your language and maybe your entire approach to the story. Tell the whole truth.

What we're currently living through is a patriarchal panic reaction.

Our society came a little too close to acknowledging trans people as not merely quirky zoo exhibits to gawk at on the margins of society. Too close to acknowledging our humanity.

The response to this has been sheer terror.

the worst thing calling your reps will do is, nothing. the best thing it will do is make a difference, the only thing you will lose is maybe idk 10 minutes of your life. what you will gain is practice for when you have to call again or teach someone (like younger ppl) how to do it in the future.

i understand the pushback to "joy is an act of resistance" shit but also making yourself too miserable to do anything at all alongside the mindset of "if i DON'T do this im a bad person" is also decidedly not an act of resistance.

The Trump administration is scrubbing the CDC’s website of documents on reproductive rights issues, sexual health, intimate partner violence, and more.

I'm trying to save them.

You can find the deleted docs at cdcguidelines.com - I'll be adding more over the weekend.

Trump is openly violating the law on a vast and unprecedented scale and everyone is acting like it's normal. NPR had a long story about finding a rare shrew. NYT said he was disregarding "legal niceties." This is an attack on the Constitution as profound as the attempt to overturn the 2020 election.

Alright all - I'm stepping away for this evening. I'll be back in later tonight to see if there's any more updates.

Stay safe, if you're trans, stay with us, we are not giving up.

And most of all... these EOs are not law, they are not passed by congress, do NOT comply.
