NEW: A Texas woman died after being denied an abortion and her family sued the state and her doctors for violating her right to life. They say the ban should be struck down. It's one of several cases challenging abortion laws under state constitutional rights to life and liberty @autonomynews.co

Lawyers are fighting abortion bans in state court by establishing that pregnant people have a right to life and liberty—or at least self-defense.

The MTA has been planning to reroute the B65 for years, long before Mamdani’s bike boulevard plans. And the reason? Because there are so many double parked cars on Dean/Bergen that buses literally get stuck. IT’S THE CARS. AS USUAL.

Stating that the mayor of New York City should not attend the commemoration of one of the most devastating events in his city's history simply because he shares the same religion -- in name only -- as those responsible for it is Islamophobic. Plain and simple.

A Labor Day reminder: having a job is no longer enough to protect millions of Americans from homelessness. For many workers, the greatest threat isn't losing their job. It's that their job will never pay enough, never provide enough hours, never offer enough stability to keep them housed.

Jennifer Nelson’s entry to this year’s Minnesota State Fair crop art
A localized version of Guernica with a loon at the center and a person holding an ICE OUT sign 

“My piece was inspired by Picasso's Guernica, a work that was his response to the Nazi's bombing of the Basque town. I thought there was a fitting parallel between these incidents about the high price paid by ordinary people when aggressive regimes try out new tactics of war, as well as a fitting juxtaposition of the darkness of living such an experience and the light we shone through it in our own resistance and care for one another. The patterns near Renee Good and Alex Pretti’s mouths are actually their last words in Morse code: ‘I’m not mad at you,’ and ‘Are you okay?’”

I appreciate that Dolly Parton refused to participate in "dress respectability" and, by her own account, modeled her aesthetic after a town "tramp," who she thought was beautiful. She separated aesthetics from character and understood "classiness" to be about how you treat people, not how you dress.

Dolly Parton knew what it was like to struggle as she fought for working families her whole career. From providing free books to kids to giving working women our "9 to 5" anthem, she was an icon and an inspiration. Rest in power to our union sister. We will always love you.

Here is a line graph! Since Trump took office in January 6.3 million fewer people get nutrition benefits. Not because they don’t need it or aren’t eligible. Because the barriers to access keep growing.

Arizona has lost more than half its July ‘25 caseload, and is getting attention thanks to some great reporting from the NYT, but other states are suffering too. More than 700,000 people have lost SNAP in Georgia. More than 558,000 in Florida.

It’s expanded work rules. It’s over-verification. It’s SNAP agencies deeply afraid of making errors given the new cost shifts. It’s demonization of the program as full of fraud.

This bears repeating. Navigating SNAP benefits in Georgia was practically a full-time job. One of the things about being poor, doing odd jobs and gig work, is that income changes every week, which doubles the amount of paperwork required. The laws are based on annual income, but the rules aren’t.
