If you let any story cut through all the Twitter noise today, please let it be this:

At least six local news websites across Alabama and Florida have been secretly taking payments from power companies to run stories attacking clean energy + other policies

Also, https://t.co/qWGEBQKXDM provides abortion pills to people in all 50 states, even if they aren’t pregnant!!

[BhamStands @BhamStands]

BhamStands against this horrific abortion ruling handed down by the Supreme Court. Let us continue to support those helping people access abortions: for example, @YellowFund and West Alabama Women’s Center

[Abortion Should Be Free @YellowFund]

The Supreme Court decision dropped this morning, officially overturning Roe v. Wade and the Constitutional right to abortion. Join us to rally for #AbortionJustice and #ReproductiveJustice here in Birmingham, AL TOMORROW, SAT. JUNE 25th at LINN PARK at 5PM!

[BhamStands @BhamStands]

There are no words to describe just how cruel this is…AL lawmakers have officially reached a new low

[BhamStands @BhamStands]

BhamStands with all people who are affected by the upcoming overturn of Roe v Wade. Shame on the Supreme Court majority!

We must resist! And help each other in any way we can!

[BhamStands @BhamStands]

Support organizations that help women get access to abortions like these:

Yellowhammer Fund: https://t.co/c2gSCRqZ0O

@ARC_Southeast https://t.co/bV4Qob7fns

Also, don’t forget about mutual aid! Giving money directly to people in need of abortions goes a long way.

[Birmingham DSA🌹 @BhamDSA]

It's true, you can donate directly to @ARC_Southeast through our fundraising page. ARC SE provides abortion access care to six states in the South, including Alabama!

[URGE @URGE_org]

Legally, you can still get an abortion. Don't cancel your appointment.

[Birmingham DSA🌹 @BhamDSA]

Once again, the funding of abortion access orgs is absolutely critical if we are to lose Roe. Please donate if you can to orgs like @ARC_Southeast or other local funds instead of Planned Parenthood.

This state’s (and country’s) malice toward trans people seems to reach a new level every day. It’s absolutely heartbreaking to see.

BhamStands with all trans people in AL and beyond. Let us take this time to support them in any way we can. Comment Gofundmes, resources, etc!

[Erin Reed @erininthemorning.com on Bsky @ErinInTheMorn]

A dark day for trans people.

Alabama passes SB184 which forcibly medically detransitions all trans teens. It will withdraw youth from gender affirming care. It will force trans teens through the wrong puberty in front of all their peers.

Terrible... I cry for these kids.

[Birmingham DSA🌹 @BhamDSA]

This is the kind of hateful and harmful conduct we've come to expect from our legislature, but if you're outside Alabama don't make the mistake of thinking it'll stop here. Reactionaries in your state are already organizing to replicate this. You should be organizing too!

[Birmingham DSA🌹 @BhamDSA]

On the last day of session, the Alabama legislature has decided to end on a low note, even by their standards. Anti trans legislation isn't a solution in search of a problem, it's a solution to what these ghouls consider to be the real problem: the existence of trans people.

What happened to Travis Banks…A THREAD
Before this update we shared that we found out that Travis Banks was the one who called 911 for medical help, he was arrested(we still don’t know 100% what the charge was because they won’t give the family the police report) and he died 48

[Birmingham DSA🌹 @BhamDSA]

The organizers at @ShutDownEtowah and @EtowahFreedom have worked tirelessly for years alongside those caged in the facility itself to highlight the abuses and put pressure on the government. ICE can say what they want, we know that they never would have closed it without SUNLIGHT
