Compromise is for inter-personal relationships. Stop misapplying it to abortion laws!

Any chance we can get to $2500 today? Less than $200 away.

Anywho, show up every day to do what you can with others and make sure that you're attending to people's material needs while doing so. That basic political engagement will put you in good stead. The rest is noise.

I need to write the whole piece about this, but the thing to understand is that the NYT is now just Facebook. The platform dictates narrative to normies, is totally gamed by the right, and is still so ubiquitous as to be unavoidable even by those who see how broken it is. It's just Facebook.

Really cannot emphasize enough the emotional benefit of picking a spot where you can have an outsize impact and digging in to really work on it in addition to your other efforts. My contributions to protecting anonymity online have been SUCH a motivator for avoiding despair.

No shame in feeling scared, overwhelmed and not knowing what to do. To me feeling one's feelings doesn't preclude taking action. These are confusing times. Give yourself some grace.

Part of how we got here has been to leave too much of the discussion about all of this to lawyers. People feel like they can't understand the courts without law degrees and that's just not true. But we're left without a robust group of non-lawyer activists and organizers who could offer leadership.

Roe provided a false sense of security. Since its fall, anyone who can get pregnant is increasingly at risk of criminalization for ANY pregnancy outcome—especially people of color and poor people. This is why we fight for access and autonomy. Anything else is unacceptable.

Personally I’d love to see the heat people have for certain abortion stories or patient advocates directed at CRR and PP instead. They are the personification of shit policy and that is not a coincidence!

Libraries are one of the most radical social institutions we have, because they’re based on the idea that *everyone* has the right to information, for free. It’s also what makes them crucial to democracy. I will never stop yelling about this!

Most NYers have no idea that libraries in the city have no more Sunday service and that libraries will close for another day if the current budget goes through. A 60 million cut to libraries while Adams proses a 200 million police "training" campus. Please connect the dots and REFUSE this bullshit.

We agree on the urgent need to abolish all abortion bans. And I hope we’re moving away from the idea that later abortion care is only needed under traumatic circumstances to do it.

I’m sorry but it is just not true that later abortions are forced in any way. Often hard circumstances, yes. But patients move mountains to access care they know they need. I’m not interested in erasing our agency OR the unjust barriers we have to navigate to access care.

A nuance here that I wish we’d talk about more is that exceptions to 24wk bans work about as well as exceptions to 6wk bans- they’re both PR for abortion bans! And they’re useful across party lines.

The main thing to understand about abortion ban exceptions do not exist. They are ornamental. They’re like plastic fruit. They are not meant to be used, they’re just there to make the ban look reasonable. bsky.app/profile/jbou...

And when this is brought up some Democrats are furious but what we were living in pre-Dobbs was already unacceptable. Going back to that is insulting. ALSO it appears that this current court won't allow a return to even that status quo. So now what? This is what no one seems willing to answer.

The question at hand is HOW will people achieve reproductive justice in this country. And that means removing the ceiling off everyone's fucking imaginations so we can think broadly. It can't be to simply codify a law that was never ever ever enough in the first place.

this is always true. People almost never support protests in their own era. They "support" them in the future when they do not disrupt their current conditions.

The struggle before us is not over abortion or no abortion. It's between bodily autonomy and authoritarianism. If people can reorient their understanding of abortion on that axis, it changes what you're willing to compromise.
