They make everything worse, but keep proclaiming themselves to be the best. Colonizer delusion
These fragile fucks talk about some fake replacement, while they colonize all the countries that don't want their bullshit religion, shitty politics, fucked up views on religion and morality.

More midwives please
Sweden’s experience with midwives providing abortion care offers lessons for other countries. Swedism midwives have long led care for healthy women during pregnancy and birth, with doctors supporting when complications arise. Applying the same model to abortion care is both logical and effective.

What's happening in the NY juvenile justice system right now is a SCANDAL? Atrocious. The young people trapped in the system need a robust organizing campaign to address all of the issues.

The white hegemonic gender binary honestly excludes the majority of humanity, while also being forced on everybody, and is really there to create false parameters to justify oppression.
That's a bit of a word salad so I'll try to explain myself...🧵

They're being willfully ignorant because they have a dogmatic faith in electoralism that continuously fails
That's the problem with libs, they underestimate fascists. They couldn't believe Trump would win the presidency the first or second time, either.

Trump has a plan to steal the midterms. It will probably fail.

Despite abortion being legal on request up to 12 weeks in Nepal, women are sometimes interrogated and arrested. Even when courts later exonerate them, the damage is done. Arresting women also contradicts Nepal’s international obligations under CEDAW.

I have incarcerated comrades & loved ones who are enduring the daily torture of US prisons. They also continue to make art. They often don't have the proper supplies and yet they make it knowing that it will never make it out to anyone else. But they continue to make art nonetheless. Keep making art

Anti-choice extremists in Indiana are trying to force the release of records for the very few legal abortions in the state (146 in 2024). The purpose is to intimidate patients and providers and expose them to harassment, arrests, and violence.

Something I hope nobody misses when reading this is that private prisons aren't the only problem, prisons in general are. It's not just individuals making continuous profit off of trafficking, incarceration,& enslavement, it's the entire imperial system being upheld by a multitude of colonial states
Of course, prisons are a very lucrative business. Slavery of Black bodies built this country, then the 13th Amendment was ratified and made Black bodies into enslaved people again. Then the crime bill made more money for very rich white folks off Black and Brown ppl. And now…
