If you think we will be saved in November by a massive blue wave, you are wrong. If you think we can WAIT to be saved in November by a massive blue wave, you are wrong.
No one has a plan, except to give them more money to kill more people.
We are the ones who keep ourselves and each other safe.

I remember escorting one day at the clinic, and a mother + child walked up to the antis to ask for help. Antis PANICKED. Did not know what to do, made phone calls to make it seem like they were trying to help. Mother + child walked away after 15 minutes after escorts gave them some money.
There are 4 all-tri clinics in the DC area. Our region is a lifeline for people who need abortions past 24 weeks, and will be even more in demand with Dr. Hern’s clinic closing.
One way to help? Donate to @dcabortionfund.bsky.social to help us support patients traveling to those clinics.

“because i want to” is a valid reason to get an abortion btw
Since it apparently needs to be said: As a Jew who works on a university campus, I am safest in a country that protects academic freedom and liberal values of due process of law. Anyone who supports extrajudicial detention of students for "wrong" ideological opinions is not doing it for my safety.

Everyone who knows me knows I’m a critic of big abortion providers whose leadership fails horrendously during this crisis, but New York Times has no fucking right to use the language they do in their new article on Planned Parenthood after they put the target on trans people’s backs & got us killed.
Spending the last hour of my work day trying to figure out what public data has already been deleted and what we can save. If this isn't a wake up call for people, I don't know what is.
During clinic escorting this morning, antis outside the clinic said that they can “go wherever they want” because the “FACE act doesn’t matter anymore.” 🙃
You may recall Lauren Handy, who was found keeping fetal remains in her apartment* freezer in DC. She’s one of the ones pardoned here, for her invasion of a clinic.
* apartment she was living in was paid for by a FedSoc leader
there is Washington and there is DC.
we are DC.
