Red States Thought They Could Stop Abortions. They Ended Up Stopping Only the Lifesaving Ones. Abortion bans are failing.

Abortion rates in red states have not decreased, aside from medically necessary ones. Pregnancy has become much more dangerous. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Meanwhile, I’m sure they’ll be happy to continue to “enforce orthodoxy”
in other medical settings—think state-mandated lectures discouraging people from having abortions before they’re allowed to have the procedure

i said last year that these people were segregationists and that “merit” just meant “white and male” to these people

20 Year Old Man Planned to Murder Montana Abortion Provider The exposed plot comes at a time of rising anti-abortion violence—and violent anti-abortion policy

While we're talking about the radicalization of young men, make sure not to miss this story jessica.substack.com/p/20-year-ol...

“Cesar Chavez is just a man.” What a heartbreaking sentence.

Incredible to hear an elected official talk about the Ireland of James Connelly and Patrick Pearse, of solidarity with the oppressed and anti-colonialism.

Happy St Patrick's Day to the Irish-American tradition that's about solidarity with oppressed peoples and opposition to imperialism, and *NOT* to the part that's about integration into American whiteness via exercises in domineering racism.

Mamdani Chooses His Words Carefully After Alleged Terror Attack

One day the NYT's editors will read these stories again and be ashamed of themselves. Mamdani called the attack "heinous," "criminal," "reprehensible," "terrorism," and "the antithesis of who we are." The insinuation that he's conflicted about this is disgraceful. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/n...

It's genuinely insane that many of the newspaper columnists who cheered us into the war in Iraq are still employed at big legacy outlets cheering us into a new war with Iran.

These are “low enrollment” majors but the classes are regularly at capacity. They changed the funding structure a few years ago here, switching the allocation from course enrollments to majors then blamed these departments for a structural, top-down change. This is entirely a political choice.

He’s just listing horrific murders committed by immigrants and people of color and painting sanctuary cities as uninhabitable. These are the same narratives that white nationalists have pushed forever. This is what you would have heard from Council of Conservative Citizens decades ago.

This is the SAVE Act that Trump is discussing tonight.

I worked in the Newberry’s special collections in college and remember handing a man a book in Cherokee. He became visibly overwhelmed with emotion and it’s always stuck with me. So thrilled these materials are getting the care and attention they deserve.

Pregnant patients in Minnesota have postponed abortion appointments to avoid ICE Planned Parenthood’s no-show rate has gone up almost 10 percent since the federal government’s Minnesota operation began.

Pregnant immigrants in Minnesota have been postponing their abortions, skipping aftercare, and delaying birth control visits and urgent cancer screening follow-ups to avoid coming in contact with federal immigration agents.

The Trump admin is imprisoning pregnant children—many who are victims of rape—in Texas, where they will be forced to carry high-risk pregnancies without proper medical care. A particularly horrifying example of the violent misogyny and racism that are the bedrock of their political project.

This is why Minnesotans are begging folks outside the state to keep talking about us.

Please don’t let the world forget we are still in danger.

Fucking surreal that people dressed like this and carrying assault rifles are permitted to kidnap people off our streets

St Brigid of Kildare

Happy St Brigid’s Day! St Brigid helped spread Christianity in Ireland, becoming the abbess of a powerful convent. When a nun came to her, pregnant and scared, St Brigid laid hands on her belly, prayed, and induced a miraculous abortion.

34,000 signing up for this work AFTER seeing their fellow citizens gunned down by federal thugs in cold blood? I'm chugging whatever the opposite of doomerism is

How ICE Already Knows Who Minneapolis Protesters Are

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

screenshot of text from Adam Serwer in The Atlantic: "The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they're the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesive - because of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about "Western civilization," while armed brutes try to tear it down by force."

Is it still second-hand embarrassment if the other person appears incapable of feeling shame or engaging in one second of self reflection?

DHS's assistant secretary for public affairs denied posting an except of the song "We'll Have Our Home Again" to The New York Times, after I pointed out to the reporter they shared it on Instagram. She said it had "no relation" to the song performed by members of the Mannerbund. (It does.)

A group, one of many, holding candles in honor of a community member executed by an unaccountable paramilitary invasion force

This is Minneapolis.

Literally every corner along Lake St. packed with people holding candles, many singing, honoring a person who by all accounts was an absolute gem of a human, whose life was tragically stolen by a fascist, paramilitary occupation force.

Rick speaking like this should be noted. This is not how he posts.

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

“‘We were willing to do for this man, this human, what they were not willing to do for Renee Good,’ Zemien said.”

Jasmine Crockett: “You only care about following the rules so long as you can invoke those rules on what is typically perceived as your political enemies—

You only love law enforcement when they're going after black, brown, immigrants, that kind of folk, right?“

a heavily armed paramilitary force with legal immunity is occupying a city and going door to door kidnapping non-white adults and children in furtherance of an explicitly white nationalist political project
