โ€œTelemedicine has been a game changer for abortion access since Roe v. Wade was overturned, which is exactly why Louisiana wants to eliminate it.โ€ Red states are doing what Trump wonโ€™t: Going after abortion pills in court:

motherjones.comRed states are doing what Trump won't: Going after abortion pills in courtA new case in Louisiana tests how far courts will go to restrict access in a post-Roe landscape.

People said Roe v. Wade would never go away. It did. Now, PAY ATTENTION this time.

Turning Point USA hosted an event in Alabama recently with two leading abortion 'abolitionists' - extremists who want abortion patients punished with the death penalty. Legislators in over a dozen states (and counting) have introduced their bills. This is no longer a 'fringe' movement

I have been a supporter of EFF.org pretty much since the beginning. I will continue to do so.

If you want to fight to protect digital privacy, there is no better organization to support than @eff.org, which has been defending people's rights here for decades. I'm on the board, but I joined *because* this work is so vital. Call your reps, and follow the tips EFF publishes to protect yourself.

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. Weโ€™d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

PublicSquare seems to have memory-holed its marketplace pages, but I just scraped 40k of them from the Wayback Machine and extracted JSON data for 37k businesses, including 34k distinct email addresses, 31k phone numbers, physical addresses, etc.

I remember searching the PublicSquare listings just a few months ago - the tool that let you view affiliated businesses by state appears to be GONE now. Guess the MAGA's realized they are, in fact, widely hated. www.publicsquare.com

I was a sensitive kid. I loved cats. I had OCD, undiagnosed. When I was 9, a fraternity brother tortured a cat to death in my hometown. The details even now are beyond imagination. archive.is/xdmUL I was traumatized for years from reading the news story. The torturer? Now the head of the NRA.

Itโ€™s so dishonest and reckless to reduce childhood vaccines because of Denmark. The US has a similar schedule to Canada, Britain, Australia and Germany. Denmark, a small country with strong universal healthcare, is the outlier. And even Denmark themselves thinks that this is a bad idea.
