NPR Consider This+ only bonus episode: How naturalized citizens can protect their legal rights
i obviously support paying for quality journalism but it's extremely poor taste for NPR to put a podcast episode on protecting yourself from ICE behind a paywall
Abortion opponents are going rabid over wholly unevidenced claims of entirely suspect origin, about school staff in Virginia who supposedly assisted a couple of teens in accessing abortion care ... four years ago. My colleage @jas.bsky.social unpacks the claims:
🆕 from me: I wrote about why conservative activists *want you to be distracted* by the uproar in Fairfax County and the dubious allegations against the school system.
Hint: They know how popular the proposed VA abortion amendment is, and they want to kill it. reproaction.medium.com/virginians-s...
Screenshot of a news article that says “In an update August 21 the joint information center at the dc armory gave a fully list of the metro stations members are patrolling: eastern market, foggy bottom, gallery place-Chinatown, l’enfant plaza, McPherson square, metro center, NoMA-Gallaudet university, Smithsonian, stadium armory, and waterfront
Reminder of the ten metro stations the National Guard is patrolling. They have also been spotted on foot patrol on streets around these stops, not just inside the station.
And the proposed alternative, so called 'restorative reproductive medicine' is largely the domain of anti-abortion grifters, as my colleague @jas.bsky.social wrote earlier this year:
my badge for Netroots Nation says speaker on it
repro people at netroots: come say hi to me and we can gossip abt the anti-abortion movement together!! #NN25

can someone please validate my compulsion to go out and buy lunch today y/n
I predict that in the next 5-10 years a lot of people making decisions like this are going to try and hold on to their positions of power like none of this happened, and it’s on every one of us to make sure they are shamed out of public life forever

well then i'm sure he has extremely normal views on denzel washington starring in the 2021 tragedy of macbeth adaptation! 🧐
Absolutely incredible that we are still getting mainstream denunciations of "trans activists" when the far-right fringe has far more odious views and sits much closer to power.

You’re at a protest and saw someone do something that you don’t approve of, that might get them in trouble with the cops? No you didn’t. Mind your business.
it's the $20 service fee ON TOP of the $69 lawn seat that's really making me woozy so i'm hoping i can get a ticket at Plan 9 for cheaper 🥶
$80 for lawn on Brown's Island is WILD
oh crazy, it is as if protests have consistently hurt trump since 2017
Congrats ABC. You must be so proud.

SPLC website shows the Center for Immigration Studies to be a designated hate group
From the 6/9/25 "Fire and ICE in Los Angeles" episode of Today Explained from Vox: “Krikorian is the executive director at the Center for Immigration Studies, a think tank has influenced the president's immigration policy. So we reached out to him to find out what this next chapter might look like.”
if I worked on Vox's Today Explained, I simply would not include guests from the SPLC-designated hate group Center for Immigration Studies on my podcast... but that's just me
Twitter cannot load new posts except one post of red pandas exploring the Philly Zoo
if twitter's going to break on me, at least this is the most pleasant post it could leave me with
Navy blue shirt on the official Paramore website reads: Hayley Williams is turning your children gay
reason no. 628 why i believe in paramore supremacy
We cannot treat anti-abortion extremism as separate from broader far-right violence. The connections are undeniable. Fighting for abortion access means fighting white supremacy, and we will not stop holding anti-abortion actors and white supremacists accountable. (3/3)
