Ohio voters have approved a constitutional amendment guaranteeing the right to an abortion and other forms of reproductive health care. The outcome adds to a string of wins for abortion rights advocates in numerous states since Roe v. Wade was overturned. bit.ly/3QqDaRr

After weeks of chaos & confusion, finally some clarity! We are grateful for any additional time that access to medication abortion is protected, and we are fighting until that protection is permanent.

BREAKING: The House has passed the first nationwide bill prohibiting transgender kids from participating in school sports teams that match their gender identity. Instead of resolving real issues, lawmakers choose to attack trans kids. Where are their priorities?

An excerpt from my new book: It was the year of utter chaos, 2023. There was a live filming of extremism caught on tape and we were all in it. Everyone we looked there were bans on human rights, dramatic tears from white men in suits & blue checks disappearing in the night.

This policy change makes Twitter more unsafe for trans and non-binary users and paves the way for outright discrimination. Twitter has an obligation to protect people on the platform, not expose them to hate and vitriol.

His name is #RalphYarl and I’m sick and tired of this feeling…my heart completely broke when I learned this precious 16-year-old, who accidentally rang the door of the wrong address in an attempt to pick up his siblings, was shot in the head… (1/3)

Latest update on #Mife: no restrictions will go into effect today, SCOTUS has issued a stay until Wednesday. #Mife remains on the market. But our fight for abortion access is far from over, we will do what we have always done: take care of each other.

#BREAKING: Justice Alito has issued an administrative stay of Judge Kacsmaryk's ruling in the #mifepristone case until 11:59 p.m. ET on Wednesday. Bottom line: No part of Kacsmaryk's ruling will go into effect at midnight tonight.

TN just gave scholars & advocates another real-life case study on the connective tissue of racism, white supremacy, misogyny & extremism. I can see the data and thesis statements already...you can't make these things up.
⚡️NEW LEAKED AUDIO: TN House Republicans infighting over #TennesseeThree votes. CEPICKY: “You gotta do what’s right even when you think it might be wrong.”🤔 Leadership says Barrett made them look racist, Cepicky says they're at "war", etc. must-listen.

BREAKING: The Missouri Attorney General is trying to ban ALL gender-affirming care in the state regardless of one’s age. This isn’t just an overreach of authority — it’s an outright attempt to endanger and ultimately erase transgender people statewide.

In my mind, I imagine this back & forth as one confusing conversation between judges: TX: We're suspending Mife in 7 days. WA: Mife stays but y'all chill on expanding access. 5th Cir: Mife stays but let's go back to the year 2000 WA: Nah, I said what I said. #Mifepristone
BREAKING: Judge Rice in Washington says that his injunction — requiring continued availability of mifepristone under the January 2023 REMS (allowing mailed prescriptions) in the 17 plaintiffs states + DC in the lawsuit — applies “irrespective” of the Tex/5th Cir ruling.

What we know: 1) #Mife is still accessible for in-clinic and self-managed abortions. #Miso is also available as a safe & effective self-manage option. 2) Until #medicationabortion is available without stigma, criminalization, & political interference, our fight must continue.
BREAKING: The Fifth Circuit stays Kacsmaryk's order ONLY as to the 2000 approval of mifepristone, not as to the 2016 REMS changes or subsequent changes, including the 2023 ending of the in-person dispensing requirement. storage.courtlistener.com/re…

"The fight is not over, and the implications of this latest decision are not yet clear,” @KimberlyInezMcG said. “What we do know is that mifepristone remains safe, effective and an essential part of abortion care.”
