thanks Jessica, I thought MAGA and the Tech Bro-verse had unleashed a libertarian paradise of unfettered free speech. Funny it doesn’t extend to Aid Access. Honestly sometimes I think Thiel, Mark Z, Sachs and Musk are more despicable than Trump.
I am sure you saw this but sharing just in case. TheSkimm bought the reproductive rights site that the Trump regime just shit down. A small bit of good news in an otherwise demoralizing landscape.
I saw their interview on MSNBC. Glad they said this wasn't partisan - that they were replacing the information that all women need -- but I couldn't help but think are they clueless? Of course Trump took the site down. Have they been following what's going on these past few years with the attack on women or do they know and have to appear nonpartisan because of the nature of their newsletter and it's audience? I was puzzled by them. Like I wanted to say "just wait till you see what ELSE THEY HAVE IN STORE..."
It’s imperative that those heroes who put themselves forward for public office be armed with talking points to rebut the antis. Not just facts and figures but pithy phrases etc.
JESSICA: Ask a Governor? Push certain additional themes in messaging - all-American themes. Consider: (1) Pro-Family: Defend American families from Big Republican Government/Clergy control over our most intimate, private parts - sexual, reproductive, and religious beliefs. (2) The American people cannot allow rape of girls and women, whether sexual, from the outside in, or reproductive, from the inside out, which is forced birth. (3) Individualism, the essence of American Exceptionalism; not involuntary servitude in the uterine field, forced birth or C-section major surgery rape. (4) NO to three major perversions by rape: sexual, reproductive, and religious. Sex, reproduction, and religion must be the free choice of the individual; and not the dictate of the the Ruling Dictators - whether politician or clergyman. Dictators must be forced to put moral boundaries around their drives, whether for power, money, sex, reproduction, or religion.
honestly the democrats need to message about personal freedom and the absence of coercion as a capital F value in all aspects. I am not sure why this wasn’t the number one issue this last cycle, I guess if it “wasn’t focus-grouped by an undecided“ it doesn’t exist.
I found the info about Aid Access here and found the process very easy. I don't know who will need the medicine but I feel like it's the same as stocking Narcan (which I have in my medicine cabinets b/c I'm raising teenagers, thank you very much). The timing of this is heartbreaking.
Shocking not shocking? I've posted this on my instagram and facebook pages asking people to both follow AidAccess at https://www.instagram.com/aidaccess/ :) and also to report it. those fuckers are going to pay.
It's META. So this is Fukkerberg's doing!!! Make no mistake .... Russell Voight, trumps pick for head of the OMB, and a key person in the Heritage Foundation, is gunning for abortion to be abolished in the US without exception. It's going to be increasingly difficult for women to find the information they need about any aspect of reproductive health care. I'm waiting for the internet to be censored next.
I tried to share two Substack posts to Facebook and both were blocked.Funny, they can’t afford to fact check but they can still block by provider which they continue to do for Canadian content.
I just switched from a free to a paid subscriber. This reporting makes clear that we can’t rely on these platforms to be places of information gathering; they put us at the mercy of all these American oligarchs and their whims. That was always the case but now it’s so laid bare. For me, it’s going to change how I consume information
Would you recommend that we order abortion meds even if we are post-childbearing ages. I have many young women in my life and perhaps having more meds out there, as I think you have suggested, would help. It gets a little confusing, bc most of these sites ask about "my" pregnancy.
How to find and share the federal REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS website shut down by Republicans.
How to post messages privately on Instagram by first encrypting them which makes it much harder for Mark Zuckerberg to read and censor the message.

MySunValleyLife, thanks for the link! It worked and I was able to follow. I searched Instagram and couldn’t find it until you posted the link.
Just made a $110 donation to Aid Access. Pardon my French, but f*** the conservatives and Mark Zuckerberg.

I can see Aid Access's uncensored Facebook and Instagram pages here in Canada. So it's the US blocking it domestically. 😡

It's time to leave Facebook for good.
Maybe pardoned felon Silk Road dude will sell Mife and Miso.

yes if you can.
I have done this. I think it’s a good idea. Someone may need our help. Someone here told me not to be sidelined by the questions.
ty! I'm going to give it a try.
