Grim article that helps explain where we are with the already-deficient US health care system worsening under Trump. (Commenters say they are moving to Canada as their solution!) One option is lowering the Medicare-eligible age.

Big news: The family of Tierra Walker, who died after she couldn't get an abortion, is suing a slate of Texas actors in state court, including AG Ken Paxton. They say the state ban is unconstitutional. This is the first suit of its kind. 19thnews.org/2026/09/texa...

Tierra Walker died after she couldn’t get an abortion. Her family is suing Ken Paxton

The case, filed Tuesday, argues that Texas’ near-total abortion ban violates the state and U.S. Constitutions, which “prohibit state actors from killing their citizens.”

HHS is laying the groundwork to encourage refusals of healthcare and go after states that safeguard reproductive care. The reorganization of the Office of Civil Rts to prioritize and separate "conscience" claims also tells the antiabortion flank that their day is coming

How We Brought Respectful Debate Back to The Harvard Crimson’s Editorial Board

To us, the solution is deceptively simple. Universities should create environments where students with different views must talk to one another routinely and establish ground rules that ensure they do so without distractions or prejudgment.

Illiberalism on college campuses isn’t inevitable. At The Crimson, it took only a few months to radically improve.

Great piece quoting @doritreiss.bsky.social and @sbagen.bsky.social — it’s also significant that we have not seen concrete plans to change or dismantle the vaccine court. Have they run out of road on that one?

A teenage boy was walking home in Minneapolis yesterday when four masked men jumped out of a van & questioned him - with no parent or guardian present. He was bundled into the van & taken away. Bystanders heard the boy say: “Can I just go home?” I don’t know how America comes back from all this.

The boy holding a bag of haribo confectionary is questioned by a masked IcE agent while three others with weapons stand by

The boy has head bowed, holding his confectionary, as he is taken away.

I understand that a lot of folks have been misled by fear-mongering and powerful regressive voices but it’s still astonishing to me that so many have fallen for the idea that oppressively policing other people’s gender identity and expression could in any way be part of an enlightened future.

With alt text. Executive summary: the US killed at least 3 Colombian fishermen who’d put up a distress flag. In Colombian waters

Camila @camilapress
FULL REPORT: Colombian public media reports that a U.S. military strike on a boat on September 15—the second attack on a vessel by the U.S. in the Caribbean that we're aware of—was a Colombian boat and was in Colombian territorial waters.
At least one of the three victims extrajudicially killed in the strike was Colombian lifelong fisherman Alejandro Carranza. Alejandro's identity is confirmed by his cousin.
The Colombian boat was adrift and had its distress signal up due to an engine failure.
