@BrianLehrer explored Mamdani's victory on Wednesday 🎉. While Mamdani won Cuomo also lost. The most unexplored reason for Cuomo's loss is the fact that women would not vote for someone who sexually harassed female staff. Please seek out and include the voices of these women.

In the newsletter tonight: Second gentleman Doug Emhoff acknowledged in an interview that "women are dying" from abortion bans.

As far as I know, neither President Joe Biden nor Vice President Kamala Harris have said publicly that women have died as a result of abortion bans

What a WIN!! After 27 days of A12 blockades and more than 9,000 arrests, the Lower House asks the cabinet for a phase-out plan for fossil fuel subsidies. Civil disobedience works! We will stay sharp and are ready for new actions. #StopFossilFuelSubsidies

To the people celebrating the mass murder of Israeli civilians, you have lost your humanity. To the people enthusiastically calling for Israel to decimate Gaza, densely populated with 2 million Palestinian civilians, you have lost your humanity. Israelis and Palestinians are real people, just like you and me.

The subject of the story is his denial, his response, his career—not the victims' experiences.

This is how rape culture gets perpetuated: by framing rape accusations as something that happens to the perpetrator, not the victim

And this is the fucking NYT!

The caucasity of it all, a day after SCOTUS rips the 14th amendment to shreds. Her false narrative of Black women being over privileged fits with the ahistorical arguments made by the majority on the court to destroy affirmative action.

As we close in on a year since was Roe was overturned, please remember: Every abortion denied is a tragedy.

You don’t have to go into sepsis to be forever harmed by an abortion ban. You don’t need to be raped to have control of your body stolen from you.

Everything is fine. That smoke you see and smell across most of the US has nothing to do with increased wildfires from climate change. Continue with your happy hour drinks and ignoring the state of the planet as we descend into the climate apocalypse.

Did you know that less than 20% of Wikipedia articles are about the accomplishments of women?

A team of @Smithsonian experts is working to change that, using artificial intelligence and good old fashioned research skills.

@AllieGood1229 @kathleen_belew @LjbriggsLaura Wow thank you Allie. The usual response I got to "Relative Intimacy" was: "dark" or "weird." Or that was the response in the early aughts. So this is especially nice. Will check out "Somebody's Children"🙂
