Worth remembering (because right now we should all be haunted by a sick feeling in the pits of our stomachs every day) that Salvadoran officials have repeatedly said there are no plans to *ever* release *anyone* from CECOT, and it's unclear they even have a procedure for doing so
Yet ANOTHER story of a Venezuelan man ripped away from his family in the U.S. because of his tattoos; a tattoo of a rose and a crown. That’s it. It’s been three weeks and his wife and kids have no idea what happened to him. Like others, El Salvador is holding him incommunicado.

Women want to be treated as if they are human beings and men are by and large psychologically incapable of dealing with that.
NEW: an ideological divide is emerging between young men and women in many countries around the world. I think this one of the most important social trends unfolding today, and provides the answer to several puzzles.

I've been writing about abortion every day since Roe was overturned, and this managed to shock even me: If OBGYNs want to get board certified this year, they need to go to Texas to do it jessica.substack.com/p/why-a…

"One of the main reasons I treasure my own experience of motherhood so dearly is because I chose it for myself," writes @aubreyhirsch. "But now this country will force pregnancy and birth on many people who do not want that experience" ti.me/3W22f7B

A 9 year-old girl lost her life trying to pull the fire alarm to warn other students in a mass shooting. Yet, a congressmen from her state the very next day said ‘there’s nothing you can do’ and basically said that’s why he home schools his kids. The 9 year old had more bravery.

State sponsored violence.
When Deborah Dorbert of Florida learned her baby had a lethal diagnosis, she hoped to terminate the pregnancy. When that wasn’t possible, she decided to share her story with me as she waits to deliver Baby M, who is expected to suffocate soon after birth. washingtonpost.com/health/20…

This is distressing on a lot of levels, but what is extra upsetting is knowing how many preteens and those new to having periods wear underwear like this xitter.cf/harkshetweets/status/1…

This piece is so important I wrote it through Covid: Republicans keep saying they won't arrest women for abortion. But the Alabama AG's office fucked up and revealed *exactly* how they plan to get around that false promise jessica.substack.com/p/repub…

Consumer alert: To protect your privacy, avoid using unencrypted messaging sites (like Facebook Messenger) to communicate about seeking abortion services. We've already seen Nebraska authorities use a woman’s Facebook messages to indict her for seeking an abortion.
