@WRRAP I’ve posted WRRAP’s letter on Bl*esky. How can we support you and the area clinics? Fundraising? Any practical support? I’ll re-up whatever you say and need. 💛

[Christine Grimaldi @chgrimaldi]

@hbolton Thank you for your very thoughtful and educational answer. 💛 Solidarity and see you on Blu*sky!

[Helen Bolton 🖤 @hbolton]

@chgrimaldi Pulling off a strike requires really deep organizing that takes time, people have to feel like taking on a considerable financial risk/hardship is worth it and a one-day action that isn't tied to getting a raise or improving their healthcare is probably not going to move them

[Helen Bolton 🖤 @hbolton]

@chgrimaldi I get the sentiment and that my answer is a real downer but I honestly think the reality is no we can't, it would be an illegal strike that unions wouldn't want to risk encouraging their members to participate in and non-union workers are not organized and wouldn't go out

[Helen Bolton 🖤 @hbolton]

The answer is May Day 2028, and if you’re not in a union yet you need to organize one to be a part of it so get on it https://t.co/j0ANZAvXJn

I mean it. Let’s do it.

@SusanRinkunas @RHAVote Yet the heads of two national repro rights orgs are part of this photo and campaign…why can’t they also reflect this accuracy and destigmatizing messaging through their orgs??

Interesting that Kenneth Cole’s daughter is putting out more accurate information on the number of state abortion bans than national reproductive rights orgs. 41 states have bans at some point in pregnancy, not 22. (Second photo of PP map annotated by @RHAVote)

Abortion funds in the Southeast were already in a funding crisis. Now the region is facing catastrophic damage and extensive displacement from #HurricaneHelene.

The need for abortion doesn’t stop for natural disasters. Split a donation between 15 funds: https://t.co/1zHXoL6rIC

Are you pro-choice? Here's our call-in to move towards being pro-abortion instead! 💫

Now out for early access Patreon subscribers! It's the media scandal of the month and you know we had to hit it. This week, @transscribe and @chgrimaldi break down the Nuzzi/RFK Jr scandal with the wit and intelligence you'd expect from this pod!

[Katelyn Burns @transscribe]

This is genuinely one of my favorite @cancelme_daddy episodes I've recorded. It was fun playing off of @chgrimaldi and the two of us bringing our experiences as Capitol Hill reporters to our analysis of the Nuzzi/RFK Jr scandal was special! https://t.co/oZF8zKqMeD

just to be clear people CAN take pills after 10 weeks & have successful abortions.
it is a valid option but also one that comes with a lot more prep, knowledge, & support that most telehealth providers refuse to engage with

[Paulie Gualtieri Has Opinions @PauliesOpinions]

Yeah Ton', it's me. Our friend the cop mayor? Not gonna be a problem anymore.

[Christine Grimaldi @chgrimaldi]

@RHAVote Oh man!!!!!!!
