President had mocked congresswoman hours before she was sprayed with unknown substance during a town hall event The Ecuadorian government has said that a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent attempted to enter its Minneapolis consulate on Tuesday, but was prevented from coming in by staff working at the building. This has prompted Ecuador’s government to send a formal protest note to US authorities “so that acts of this nature are not repeated at any of Ecuador’s consular offices in the United States.” Continue reading...

I’m sick of this regime using antisemitism to justify racist policies. This travel ban is about keeping Black and brown people out which is rooted in racism. It won’t protect Jews—it fuels resentment and puts us in more danger, leading to more violence like what happened in Boulder.

“Later abortion is banned in all but nine states and Washington DC, and performed in only a handful of clinics nationwide.” Viability bans lead to stories like this, which will only become more frequent if the Trump admin restricts medication abortion for early care www.thenation.com/article/soci...
sceeenshot from The Nation: A 29-year-old with light skin and dark hair walks down the hall at Partners, sobbing. She flew here from California, one of the 22 states in the country that ban abortion at or around
"viability." In 2022, 67 percent of California voters backed a referendum that blocks the state from interfering in a patient's pregnancy decisions, but a state law banning most abortions after viability still stands.
So the patient in the hallway faced a grueling journey from one of the nation's bluest states.
First she had to raise close to $20,000 to pay for the abortion itself. At least 90 percent of Partners' uninsured patients cobble this funding together from abortion funds and clinic discounts. Yet by the time she made her decision, raised the money, and flew to Maryland, an ultrasound had put her well past Partners' limit.

Everything that we warned the American public about regarding RFK Jr. is already happening. An excerpt from an OpEd that @jimalwine.bsky.social and I published. We wrote about about what happened in Samoa with the measles outbreak there and said, simply: “The same will happen here”.
Photo of text from a newspaper article that says “Kennedy advances the lies that vaccines cause autism, increase cancer risk, and result in higher death rates. None of this is true, but Kennedy, a science denialist, will never accept the real scientific evidence showing the safety of vaccines.
His goal is to cause fear over vaccines and public health ini-tiatives, which he does for profit Kennedy will promote decreased vaccine uptake, as he did when he influenced government officials in Samoa to stop measles vaccinations; in the resulting measles epidemic, 83 people died from measles, mostly chil-dren. The same will happen here.”
