Pulling off a strike requires really deep organizing that takes time, people have to feel like taking on a considerable financial risk/hardship is worth it and a one-day action that isn't tied to getting a raise or improving their healthcare is probably not going to move them

I get the sentiment and that my answer is a real downer but I honestly think the reality is no we can't, it would be an illegal strike that unions wouldn't want to risk encouraging their members to participate in and non-union workers are not organized and wouldn't go out

Interesting that Kenneth Cole’s daughter is putting out more accurate information on the number of state abortion bans than national reproductive rights orgs. 41 states have bans at some point in pregnancy, not 22. (Second photo of PP map annotated by @RHAVote)

Abortion funds in the Southeast were already in a funding crisis. Now the region is facing catastrophic damage and extensive displacement from #HurricaneHelene. The need for abortion doesn’t stop for natural disasters. Split a donation between 15 funds: secure.actblue.com/donate/he…

This is genuinely one of my favorite @cancelme_daddy episodes I've recorded. It was fun playing off of @chgrimaldi and the two of us bringing our experiences as Capitol Hill reporters to our analysis of the Nuzzi/RFK Jr scandal was special! teapawt.net/cancelme_daddy/status/…

just to be clear people CAN take pills after 10 weeks & have successful abortions. it is a valid option but also one that comes with a lot more prep, knowledge, & support that most telehealth providers refuse to engage with
qq: are they trained to accompany abortion seekers past 10 weeks for MABs assuming every person has the time, space, privacy, emotional preparation etc to go through a 24 hour process of miscarrying a formed fetus?

Maybe no single intellectual habit that’s more lazy, more destructive, or more common than the assumption that women’s concerns about misogyny or gender inequality in their own lives are trivial and unsophisticated.

The worst people in the world continue to think that they have a constitutional right to powerful jobs like mayor of New York—or Supreme Court Justice.
Public defender here. Innocent until proven guilty & lover of due process - the question here isn’t whether he’s guilty of a crime & should be prosecuted. The question is whether in this moment he’s capable of governing. Admin is in shambles & he cannot. So, yes he should resign.

Honestly this should be the sermon for the upcoming “Red Mass” on October 6, the Sunday before the start of the Supreme Court’s annual term and something the Catholic Church (in cahoots with the John Carroll Society) gets away with without endangering its 501(c)(3) status. 🤔
five catholics on that court voted for the execution lmfao, they should be excommunicated for this

“Its purpose is to invoke God's blessings on those responsible for the administration of justice as well as on all public officials.” Cool, let’s pray for those responsible for an innocent man’s murder—even though we’re all innocent in God’s eyes, right? johncarrollsociety.org/calen…

I grew up going to Mass every Sunday and guess what, we use contraception and have abortions at the same rate as every other religion. I have lots of internalized Catholic shame I’m unraveling but it turns out, I kept the best of the Catholic values—better than these justices.
