25 years ago today, the U.S. launched its war in Afghanistan.
Weeks earlier, Barbara Lee was the only member of Congress to vote against the 2001 Authorization of Military Force, warning it would be a blank check for forever wars.
History has proven her lonely and courageous vote right.

I'm reading Old Filth by Jane Gardam and I did not expect a book about an elderly English barrister to move me to tears. Maybe the best novel I've read all year

“The rate of ectopic pregnancy deaths in states with abortion bans is nearly double that in states where abortion is legal.”
That stat should shame every anti abortionist in the world.

"The US has grown used to the swift and dramatic erosion of women’s health and status that has followed Dobbs," writes @moiradonegan.bsky.social, "to the horror stories and upward ticking body counts, grown into ease, and even a kind of compliant boredom, with women’s death and indignity."

The US has already grown used to the horror caused by abortion bans. And Republicans have sought to quash the stories

Hey so uhhhhh that Boston Globe story about the lesbian bar relaxing its covid rules is an *absolute fucking hit piece* targeting the disabled, chronically ill, and covid-conscious and it would be great if folks sharing and joking about it could recognize that framing.

In Massachusetts, we have a responsibility to protect the vulnerable and stand up for those who need it. We don’t throw trans kids under the bus for political points. We protect them—and all of our neighbors—because trans rights are human rights.

The whole trans girls in sports discussion is absolutely being used to propagandize people into being transphobic bellends.
In K-12, the number of trans girls in sports is five.
In college the number is fewer than ten, according to the NCAA President.
You're being manipulated. Please stop.

What amuses me is that Gavin Newsome could have probably ridden this shit all the way to the White House if he’d kept his yap close about trans girls in sports. Now no matter what he does in response to this Trump manufactured crisis, all I’ll ever think is “you raised a kid who likes Charlie Kirk.”
