In “Bodies of Evidence: the Criminalization of Abortion and Surveillance of Women in a Post-Dobbs World,” Stephanie Pell and I discuss the way medication abortion complicates antiabortion strategies and the effect it may have on criminalization. djclpp.law.duke.edu/article/bodi...

Mapquest is bringing it when it comes to surveillance detection and exposure. Kudos @mapquest.com for this new feature.

The FDA just announced they won’t release their “safety review” of abortion pills until March of next year. In other words: They’re stalling until after the midterms.

“Super intelligence”? Really?

When it comes to surveillance 👀 — I’m really okay when it’s lettuce we are talking about — bring back regulation #health #science

It's been almost a week since I reported that the Texas Republican party is publicly supporting a group that wants to execute abortion patients. There hasn't been one bit of media coverage since jessica.substack.com/p/texas-gop-...

Legit good news: for the first time, a Planned Parenthood affiliate is offering what's called "advance provision" of abortion medication—meaning people in Hawaii and Washington state can get mifepristone and misoprostol to keep on hand for future use 💊

Misoprostol is also effective on its own, and providers have been preparing a backup plan since 2023 when a previous suit threatened mife

Me on the Fifth Circuit's *massive* Friday night ruling purporting to re-impose the in-person dispensation requirement for Mifepristone; how it’s déjà vu all over again; and how it's a good reminder of why, sometimes, we *need* an emergency docket at #SCOTUS: www.stevevladeck.com/p/224-the-re...

Crafters of #NYTcrossword may live in NC and VA but guessing they did not grow up reading Joel Chandler Harris - no spoilers but dubious

Well, this is a start — a recognition of the problem and the role that Meta played is worth a lot. Understanding that something is manipulative and addictive is necessary part of being able to fight back. www.theguardian.com/media/2026/m...

The Supreme Court granted states almost unlimited power to legislate pregnancy in Dobbs. Now an important new study finds the deceptive crisis pregnancy center industry received at least $491 million in taxpayer funding across 21 states. With no oversight. www.newsfromthestates.com/article/taxp...

It is mind-bending how republican after republican in the hearing today evoked pervasive domestic violence committed by men against women as a justification for withholding evidence-based medical care from women. Male violence being used to limit women’s freedom — yet again.

NEW: In 2024, Tierra Walker was sick and getting sicker. She was also pregnant. She knew abortion was illegal in Texas, but thought there was an exception for women like her, whose health was at risk. Doctors told her there was no emergency. Then she died. www.propublica.org/article/texa...

NEW: Billions of pounds of food are imported to the U.S. each year. The FDA inspects foreign producers to ensure what we're eating is safe from pathogens and dangerous manufacturing practices. But now, after Trump's drastic staff cuts, these inspections have plummeted to a historic low. 🧵/

““Fundamentally, the premise of the document is inconsistent with our core belief that scientific funding should be based on scientific merit alone,” Dr. Kornbluth wrote.” Love the leadership by MIT here www.nytimes.com/2025/10/10/u...

Honestly what will it take for people to quit buying into this Amazon surveillance nightmare? Hard pass - ditch the ring And of course people whose jobs require them to go to people’s homes will have no choice. Oh right…. Amazon employees. techstory.in/amazons-subs...

“By law, the Secretary of Health and Human Services must approve an application if it demonstrates that the generic drug is identical to the brand-name drug” Well, these days, good to see a law actually being followed…. And good news for accessibility.

I am pleased to report that Hawaii Supreme Court Justice Todd Eddins has dropped another total evisceration of the Supreme Court. He says originalism is a fraud—and the Republican justices are shamelessly making up facts and history to impose radical Christian nationalism: slate.com/news-and-pol...

Many Americans lack basic knowledge about fertility. @olgakhazan.bsky.social spoke with doctors and other experts about the information they think should be included in sex ed for middle and high schoolers:

“The images shared do not violate our policies” - maybe meta policies need an update and co. should rethink using pics of adolescent girls to promote threads to grown men www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Meanwhile apnews.com/article/plan...

Mifepristone, one of the drugs used in medication abortion, has an EXEMPLARY safety record. But a bunch of extremist politicians are trying to cast doubt on its safety and efficacy, as part of their attempt to take away access to abortion care. Don't be fooled—here are the facts:

Two models of Amazon smart glasses—one for hip consumers who can order products on the go, and one for wage workers, whose efficiency and whereabouts will be tracked continuously. One is a luxury item, one will be mandatory. Both ensure nonstop surveillance. Both are extractive. Both are handcuffs.

Wow

Maria Rojas, a midwife in TX, was arrested in June for allegedly providing illegal abortions. But the indictment only has details about 1 case, which shows that Rojas was providing miscarriage care ‼️ The witness says Rojas prescribed misoprostol b/c she thought the pregnancy was not viable.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court — over the objection of Justices Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson — allows the Trump administration’s racial profiling of people working certain types of jobs in its immigration raids during litigation.

BREAKING: The Texas Legislature just officially passed HB7, the new “bounty hunter” ban on abortion medication. #txlege State Sen. Molly Cook said, “It is my honor to fight for the rest of my life to repeal these bills.” thebarbedwire.com/2025/09/01/t...

BREAKING: Social Security Administration chief data officer and whistle-blower Charles Borges has resigned after bombshell report that SSA put highly-sensitive data at risk. He sent out an email to colleagues moments ago. Here is the text of his email shared with me:

Mifepristone is one of two drugs used in the most common medication abortion regimen. It's safe, effective & widely accepted. Guttmacher scientists are proud to sign onto a letter by @ansirh.bsky.social & @uclarepropolicy.bsky.social calling on the FDA to protect access to #MedicationAbortion.

NEW: A Texas woman filed a wrongful death suit in federal court today alleging a man gave her abortion pills without her consent. The suit also names Aid Access and its founder Rebecca Gomperts. The woman is represented by SB 8 architect Jonathan Mitchell. Me at @autonomynews.co:

Tech companies continue to rush products to market without proper safety measures. AI programs that write code are making the problem worse. And since the US still doesn’t have a comprehensive data privacy law, consumers are left to fend for themselves. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

The co-directors of @plancpills.bsky.social, which provides information about abortion pills and resources for self-managed medication abortions, speak out about their work—and their visions for the future of abortion—in the latest episode of Looking Back, Moving Forward.
