Abortion is healthcare. The only time that healthcare can be unlawful is when it contributes to the personal agency of womxn, birthing people, Black people, BIPOC, queer and trans people, disabled people, immigrant people, and anyone else studied as the “other”

“Parents miss court dates normally because they’re caring for children" and this program is addressing that. Say it with me: Child. Care. Makes. The. World. Go. Round. Great story by @bcrodriguez

"Warrant clinics" have lawyers, clerks and judges — but no threat of arrest, making it a place parents can take care of legal issues without the fear that their child won’t be cared for.

Picture this. An investor from the U.S. buys an abandoned building in Puerto Rico for $108k. Holds it for 7 years untouched and lists it for $360k. In the meantime, locals illegally enter and use it to cook for ppl after the hurricane. The “squatters” get to keep the building.

🎉IT'S OFFICIAL: All anti-abortion bills this #VALeg were DEFEATED. HB2476, the last anti-abortion bill, was killed this morning. Let's be clear: These bills are nothing but political intrusion into our reproductive healthcare decisions. They don't belong in VA or anywhere.

Hi! I’m a grad student doing a project on race/surveillance/school discipline and could use some help. In 1970, June Jordan and Terri Bush collected poetry from 25 brown and black children living in Brooklyn. If you have any leads on the whereabouts of these people, please DM me!
