Dozens more pregnant and postpartum women have died in Texas hospitals since the state banned abortion, our analysis shows. As the maternal mortality rate dropped nationally, it rose in Texas by 33%.

MASSIVE protest marching through Manhattan right now against the ICE arrest of Mahmoud Khalil. Endless stream of people chanting “No cops, no KKK, no fascist USA.” Easily a thousand people. Zero NYPD presence.

if you hit snooze after biden got elected and only tapped back in last year you need to tithe $100 to either myself or a local mutual aid group (not a 501c3, not a politician’s actblue) and post the receipt before you get to have an opinion on what’s currently happening and how we got here.

In preparation for today’s Super Bowl in New Orleans, state police forced over 100 homeless men and women onto buses under threat of arrest, dumping them in an unheated warehouse. Tents destroyed, belongings lost. Press are barred from the warehouse. The price tag for this cruelty? $17.5 million

HEAT FOR THE PEOPLE! Thank you everyone that donated for our winter fundraiser, we were able to get 20 heaters to give to our unhoused neighbors! Staying warm is life saving when living outside & we provide info on using heaters in tents so folks can stay safe!
A stack of red boxes of little buddy Mr heater propane heaters, stacked three wide and 7 high almost reaching the height of the doorway it sits in front ofHEATER SAFETY
REMORA HOUSE TIPS | DEC 2024 |

THINGS TO KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR

Signs of carbon monoxide poisoning: Headache and dizziness, breathlessness, nausea, pains in your chest or stomach, visual problems, erratic behavior. If you notice any of these symptoms, turn off the heater and exit the tent before venting it out.

The smell of rotten eggs. This means the propane is leaking, turn off the heater and remove from tent.

Signs of oxygen depletion: Headache, confusion, rapid heart rate/breathing, anxiety. If you notice any of these symptoms, turn off the heater and exit the tent before venting it out.

VENTILATION
Keep a flap of your tent partially open to prevent carbon monoxide and condensation buildup

FIRE
Do not leave the heater running unattended or while sleeping and try to give it space away from any flammable belongings

FUEL
One can of propane will last roughly 5 ½ hours. We recommend running the heater in short bursts to maximize fuel

Your greatest risks in terms of abortion and digital security are healthcare workers and people you know, like family and sexual partners. Please make a security plan before going to a health care site or talking to a loved one about a pregnancy.
