From Andrea Yates to Lindsay Clancy society refuses to help mothers which causes these tragedies. Instead our forced birth culture relies on dismissing the difficulties and telling women pregnancy & motherhood is easy and natural. My latest substack open.substack.com/pub/miabrett...

I wrote about the ridiculous hysterics claiming Jews are in danger from the NYC Dem Primary results. The results actually show a mix of Jews with different political opinions winning the night. open.substack.com/pub/miabrett...

The Supreme Court this week showed it wants to undo any progress we've made to address racist laws requiring plaintiffs prove lawmakers are intentionally racist in their heart of hearts to see any remedy open.substack.com/pub/miabrett...

The Supreme Court's decision today in Chiles v. Salazar is just the latest example of eliminationist policies targeting access to trans healthcare or weaponizing harmful healthcare against trans people. We must pay attention especially on Trans Day of Visibility open.substack.com/pub/miabrett...

115 years ago 146 workers mostly immigrant women died in the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire. They had gone on strike the year before. It took this tragedy to pass worker safety laws. It took women’s bodies on NYC streets to finally change the laws open.substack.com/pub/miabrett...

I don't think Graham Platner is a Nazi but I think he and Newsom and a whole bunch of people on the Left (including Neera Tanden apparently) are far too comfortable ignoring a little Nazi flirtation if they think it will win votes open.substack.com/pub/miabrett...

In response to a viral story abt a child hospitalized for measles bec of anti-vax parents many are calling to take children away from parents who wont vaccinate. While well intentioned such a policy will only increase family separation of marginalized communities open.substack.com/pub/miabrett...

It's not just the SAVE Act. All voter ID laws are voter suppression. Stop claiming it would be fine if the government provided the IDs-you're validating a central part of the argument open.substack.com/pub/miabrett...

This event from @92ndstreety.bsky.social is a mess. Deborah Lipstadt sees every keffiyeh as antisemitic & Dara Horn is actually arguing fighting antisemitism is a losing battle. We need serious responses to antisemitism that center solidarity not Zionism

Its easy to say conservatives are hypocrites and the US is a nation of immigrations but doing so erases the importance of racist anti-immigrant fervor to the American identity and whitewashes our colonial past. open.substack.com/pub/miabrett...

A 19yo Christian man lit Congregation Beth Israel on fire in Jackson, Mississippi. He called it the "synagogue of Satan." This same synagogue was one of 8 targeted in the Civil Rights Mvmt. The erasure of American antisemitism continues to harm us. open.substack.com/pub/miabrett...

There are so many lies associated with Columbus Day. He didn't discover America, he wasn't "a man of his time," and the holiday is not a response to "the largest mass lynching in US history." All these lies serve to whitewash US history. open.substack.com/pub/miabrett...

There is no amount of cozying up to fascism that saves Jews from it. The ADL gave cover for antisemitism and scorched their reputation only for the Trump admin to attack them at the first chance
