"Nationwide Ban: The Federalist Society Just Gutted Access to Mifepristone… By Brent Molnar: A Voice of Reason On May 1, 2026, the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals executed a calculated assault on bodily autonomy, reinstating"
Fuck the federalist society & the heritage foundation 🖕 Get their dark money and influence out of politics!
If yesterday's fed appeals court order is upheld, it could "upend a major avenue for abortion access across the country — not just in states with abortion bans." 1st trimester med. abortions make up 2/3 of all US abortions; 1/4 of US abortions involve telemed Rx. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/02/u...
"Breaking: Federal court blocks rule that let Texans obtain out-of-state abortion pills. The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that mifepristone must be obtained in person."
I'll mail them to anyone in Texas. Fuck the patriarchy.
This morning, Danco Laboratories (the manufacturer of mifepristone) filed an emergency application with Alito @ SCOTUS to stay the appellate ruling that blocked the mailing of abortion pills. Legal experts expect a decision on this temporary stay within hours or days @anntelnaes.bsky.social
The filthy Nazi worms of 5th Circuit have no legitimate authority & should be ignored. State should continue to provide mail-order abortion pills, & issue arrest warrants for 5th circuit edges + anyone else trying to impede the human right to reproductive healthcare. Fascists have no right to exist.

BREAKING 🚨 🚨 🚨 The makers of the abortion pill mifepristone filed an emergency appeal at the Supreme Court on Saturday urging the justices to pause a lower-court ruling that temporarily blocked Americans from accessing the drug through the mail. www.cnn.com/2026/05/02/p...
"In multiple recent cases, the Supreme Court has ruled that federal district and appeals courts lack the authority to issue nation-wide injunctions and must limit their decisions to the parties involved in a case. A trio of right-wing judges just issued a nation-wide ban on mailing mifepristone."
The right wants to watch women die. Banning safe and effective medication is how women die.
As someone who uses telemedicine, where does this end? How would they even regulate that without getting into privacy laws? This is such a mess. www.salon.com/2026/05/02/c...
This story should be getting more attention. This is another example of the erosion of women’s rights & body autonomy under the current administration. Court blocks mailing prescriptions of abortion pill mifepristone www.npr.org/2026/05/01/n...

Homo Sapiens is a hierarchal species, but an underdog can successfully push for a lot if they are pragmatic, patient, and tactful. If they do not follow those instructions, the topdog side may literally send Homo Sapiens to the Middle or Stone Ages. #Warnings #uspol
"Mifepristone is a safe and effective abortion medication that has been used by millions of people since the FDA approved it more than a quarter century ago. (1/3)"
Same as I told @wyden.senate.gov, Democrats must start speaking in stark terms about this: "Republicans view women as state-owned breeding livestock instead of human beings. This is the only way that their vengeance to take away reproductive rights makes any sense."

What this country will start to see AGAIN is backroom, unsafe unsanitary abortions being performed by unqualified people, picked from the streets.

"The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled today that mifepristone (the pill used in nearly two-thirds of all abortions in the United States) must once again be dispensed in person, ending the ability of patients nationwide to obtain it through telehealth and mail."
Unless you provide proof that you donate blood frequently and have taken necessary steps to become an organ donor (including telling family not to fight it) I will always take anti-choicers to be of the "laws for thee, not for me" variety.
"This is going to affect patients' access to abortion and miscarriage care in every state in the nation. When telemedicine is restricted, rural communities, people with low incomes, people with disabilities, survivors of intimate partner violence, and communities of color suffer the most."
Louisiana’s AG Liz Murrill suspended an election this morning to erase Black representation. Tonight she’s celebrating a court ruling that bans mailing mifepristone — in every state, even where abortion is legal. Same hands. Same day. This is what a coordinated assault on democracy looks like.

"Serious question: Can you still get viagra through the mail? Because if so, there is no good reason that any medication for female reproductive health — from birth control to mifepristone — should not be available through the mail."
First person to say "but oh, all those women who show up in ER from self-induced abortions..." let me tell you, I've worked ER shifts when guys walked in with Viagra-induced priapism. Do you know how we treat that? Giant needle. But they dole that shit out like candy.
TELL JOSH HAWLEY WHILE YOU ARE AT IT. HE THINKS WOMEN ARE SECOND CLASS CITIZENS THAT ARE NOT ENTITLED TO THE SAME RIGHTS AS MEN. FIGHTS TO END MIFEPRISTONE WHILE DOES NOTHING ABOUT VIAGRA AND CIALIS THAT CAUSES RAPE AND HEART ATTACKS? THE DICKS ARE WINNING. WE MUST STOP THESE #PenisPills NOW.

BS.
When it comes to the new nationwide injunction against mailing mifepristone, the pro-choice advocates should appeal to overturn it on the same grounds the government has been using to get nationwide injunctions overturned: the court overstepping it's jurisdiction. Cite all the shadow-docket...

We have a crazy idea of what police are for. On one hand they enforce the law and catch those who break it and on the other they are supposed to be public representatives and friends. In general the police departments didn’t start til 1844 before that it was paid by public people hiring people.

Irish are white and from a European country, Americans didn’t like Catholics. Same reason Italians were seen as inferior. Protestants “believed” since Catholics were beholden to the pope they weren’t trustworthy. Atheists and Catholics were barred from public office before former slaves.

Now, based on my information, why Latinos join ICE: – Worst: Wicked colonization (also involves religion) that happened to them in their history turned them against each other – Less Bad: every single marginalized group has members that do a version of "respectability politics." [Cont] #unpopular

Issues in #GOP: – Some racist classism: a lot of ethnic and racial minorities are impoverished, or not upper-middle class – Dogmatic about traditional family values: Requires a married mother-wife and a father-husband in each household, not even making room for empathy for certain widows [Cont]

In the big sense communism is a philosophical end not an actual achievement. Race seems more of a fear of losing power. GOP individualists fear groups that tend to be community focused. I mean the highest recruitment rate into border patrol and ICE is Latino so hatred can’t always be the answer.

For a millenia women used herbal teas to control pregnancy and for the most part they just never told men. We should bring that back.
