Another one bites the dust.

According to The Guardian, Democrats are experiencing better health outcomes because they don't share Republicans' ignorant distrust of medicine. This is a phenomenon known as Darwinism.

She's not an accuser ffs. She sued and won.

Missouri voters enshrined the right to abortion in the constitution in 2024 and Missouri Republicans have been PANICKING. Their new effort? A "born alive" abortion survivor law making it illegal to kill newborns. As if it's not already illegal. As if doctors are killing newborns willy nilly.

NEW: This is the story of one couple’s long fight with their health insurer — and the little-known tool that helped them finally win. In this episode of “Paper Trail,” we’re going to tell you what it is:

Reproductive justice is about more than birth control and abortion rights. For white women, it has always been about the freedom FROM having children. For Black and Indigenous women, a major part of the historical and ongoing struggle is the freedom TO have children, and to raise them.

On the latest episode of B*tch, Listen, @angryblacklady.blacksky.app and @blairimani.bsky.social discuss whether online political education actually moves institutions or just moves the people who already agree.

I wonder if Todd Blanche has called his pal Ghislaine Maxwell to encourage her to tap into Trump’s slush fund for her prosecution.

ICE keeps detaining the same US citizen again, and again, and again. Now, he’s fighting back.

This morning, a small reminder: even the strongest wings know when to pause. There is grace in waiting for the weather to pass. Rest isn’t weakness — it’s wisdom. #Jaye’sMorningLight

🧵 One of the key indicators of far right extremism is the conspiracy theory. Another is deliberate misuse of political terms [why the Nazis had ‘socialism’ in their name]. This tulip thinks they are ‘progressive’ & part of ‘the resistance’ but how do you square that with this BS? [1]

There is something deeply pathological about Chief Justice Roberts insisting the Supreme Court isn’t political while sitting atop the most ideological supermajority in modern history.

If your baby bleeds to death because of your ignorance, you should be charged with manslaughter. You anti-vaccine idiots can ruin your own lives, but not other people’s. www.propublica.org/article/more...

A good question for all Europeans to ponder at some stage during five weeks of paid holiday

If you are voting in the United Kingdom today, do not vote for this charlatan who lies almost every time he opens his mouth Reform has a track record of dodgy Finance amongst its small band of vocal MP‘s

Oh, bless your little heart. People don't think the Supreme Court is comprised of "political actors" because it makes "unpopular" decisions. They think SCOTUS is composed of "political actors" because it decides cases along predictable political lines & makes decisions that are popular with Trump.

According To Axios,NYT, This is Part of The Proposed "Items".

Today's demolition of Voting Rights Act by Roberts Court will likely trigger largest drop in Black representation since end of Reconstruction. They're taking America back to Jim Crow, when white supremacy and one party rule enshrined across South www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I called it three years ago. SMH

Marbury was the biggest power grab in American history

I am not a lawyer but....the recent controversy about the leaked "memos" really hit home. Both the legislative and executive branches are subject to oversight and to varying degrees transparency. The Supreme Court has made itself imperial, and demands absolute secrecy. Why on earth shouldn't their

deliberations be public or at least subject to FOIA? Why shouldn't their finances be public record? Why are they accorded such deference? It is a branch of government, not a Masonic temple.

Conservatives are gonna deauthorize mife soon. This country is fucked

This guide lays out some anti-abortion disinformation and breaks apart myth from facts:

Rutgers School of Engineering canceled a commencement speech by Rami Elghandour—an alum and executive producer of an Oscar-nominated film about Hind Rajab, a Palestinian child killed by Israel—because "some" students complained: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026... His response (via X):

I have to correct some bad takes I am seeing. People are acting like THEE Sam Alito somehow saved abortion access today. He did not. The fact that he issued a one-week administrative stay in Louisiana v. FDA *is not a win*. It's a temporary reprieve.

For the people still on Substack with tens of thousands of subscribers, they would actually make MORE money by switching to beehiv. Because they wouldn't be paying a ten percent Nazi/sex trafficking tithe to the platform

*taps the sign*

The Supreme Court is fundamentally corrupt & after the NYT reporting there's a big opening for Democrats to make a huge stink about the shadow docket and that it was born to stop the first Black POTUS's climate agenda. We must talk about how the shadow docket has become a racially weaponized tool.

Let it be known that Katherine Johnson was the reason for the first astronauts in space. And now Vanessa Wyche, head of the Johnson Space Center and NASA's highest ranking civil servant, is the responsible for the longest manned space flight in history

The ending of Burn After Reading came into my head this morning. Sums things up well. (profanity warning, though nothing you haven't heard from Trump)
