Reposted by EKJ (she/her)Courtney Milan @courtneymilan.com · 26/06/2026I prefer progressives, but I would vote for a moderate who would actually use every tool in their tool chest to, uh, actually moderate the fascism that is happening over someone who said progressive words but needed to go on vacation and so votes for cloture. 11777105

Reposted by EKJ (she/her)Moira Donegan @moiradonegan.bsky.social · 26/06/2026Hormonal contraception is a gift to human survival, capacity, & health on par with vaccines. But because it’s mostly women’s survival, capacity, & health that it preserves, the right’s attack on it isn’t seen as the anti-science, anti-human regression as the anti-vax campaign is. That’s a mistake. 4651149
Reposted by EKJ (she/her)Moira Donegan @moiradonegan.bsky.social · 26/06/2026The amount of human suffering, injury, and illness that has been avoided by the advent of hormonal contraception is staggering; the amount of human potential, talent, and innovation that it has unleashed should make you weep with gratitude. 652364500
