And stop using those period tracking apps. Get a notebook and a pen.

If you have kids in college in abortion hostile states? You should really be talking to them about digital and physical security when it comes to repro healthcare.

The system is becoming increasingly carceral and it's gonna target white people who are not used to being on the receiving end of such treatment.

Basically if you're white, the state really wants you to stop terminating your pregnancies.

Look at what these three Republican attorneys general are arguing in the latest mifepristone lawsuit about how the FDA depriving them of pregnant teenagers is a sovereign injury. [unlocked post] https://www.patreon.com/posts/114456742?utm_campaign=postshare_creator

Even if you have kids in states where abortion is currently legal, that can easily change. So just talk to them about digital and physical security. Particularly if they're going to try to seek abortion care without telling you.

Arm them with information so they don't get got. #abortion #abortionrights

They're tracking abortion patients across state lines.

This is why I was banging on about digital security when Roe fell.

Basically everyone should be using burner phones when seeking abortion care in abortion hostile states— or even states where abortion is legal now but in jeopardy. #uspol #ReproductiveRights #digitalsurveillance #digitalsecurity #abortion #abortionrights https://www.notus.org/technology/cell-phone-tracking-law-enforcement-abortion-clinic https://www.notus.org/technology/cell-phone-tracking-law-enforcement-abortion-clinic

@freemo I think you might be confusing title IX with something else maybe. The Biden administration wrote new regulations in April https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna149855

In U.S. v. Skrmetti, the case about tennessee's gender affirming care ban, the DOJ is arguing that the Equal Protection Clause protects trans people, including trans kids seeking gender affirming care.

I've seen people saying on social media that Dems don't care about trans rights. Or that Kamala Harris doesn't care. While Democrats could be doing better— including talking about the landmark argument that the equal protection clause protects trans —they're not doing nothing! #scotus #uspol

When I posted this toot yesterday (it's gonna take a while to get used to using the word toot) I hadn't even yet read the horseshit that the nation published yesterday. Mylanta.

there are so many factual errors in this piece— starting with the case name—it's embarrassing that the editors over there published it https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/kamala-harris-trans-rights-platform/

Also, the Biden administration is currently being blocked from enforcing new title IX rules that protect trans students. If Trump wins, Title IX won’t protect trans students anymore. They’ll just write new rules.

It’s so incredibly dangerous for people to be spreading the lie that the Biden administration is doing nothing for trans people.

And while trans people may not be put in physical detention camps, many will be forced to detransition. In my view that’s a form of genocide. YMMV

I have subscribed to a bunch of hashtags and I posted some stuff and all in all this seems like a really nice place full of very nice people.

So I guess I will see what's going on over here now that I have quit twitter?

What goes on over here. Halp.

@WastelandWandrr @alexwild everyone so far seems really nice which is a nice change from the bad bird place

I figure I'll ease in with some photos of food, plants, and dogs, before I start blasting you with abortion and scotus content lol
