Freelancers, who make up a third of media workers, largely lack the protections of full-time employees, and are especially vulnerable—lacking insight into internal policies, discourse, and practices in the newsrooms they work for.

Great reporting by Eleanor Klibanoff -- this is the hallmark of Mitchell's strategy: the chilling effect is the point

After the Union Club canceled my book talk in Frankfurt, offering no indication that they had even read the book, my friend Joshua Yaffa (the event's moderator) sent a letter to the club's president about the absurdity of this ostensible effort to protect Jews by censoring them:

Snipers and machine guns on our campuses. I feel like I'm losing my mind. Peaceful protest is a human right. #FreeGaza

NEW Mother Jones: I talked to a nurse at Rafah's last maternity hospital, where:

🚨 they've gone from ~70 births a month to ~80 a day
🚨 50 newborns will die if invasion continues + evacuation is required
🚨 they're lacking basic supplies

Please read Amy Littlefield’s fantastic piece, and meet the brave activists and patients doing the extraordinary in the post-Dobbs world:

The revolution in telemedicine abortions is life-changing for thousands. But for red-state patients, these options may feel so new that they are gripped with anxiety that the pills won’t arrive, or that they’ll be arrested for using them: thenation.com/article/societ…

Thanks to this incredible ecosystem of activists helping provide access, even as tens of thousands of people have not been able to terminate pregnancies, the number of abortions in the United States actually increased last year: thenation.com/article/societ…

Meanwhile, support for patients traveling out-of-state for abortion care is still desperately needed: In the first year after Dobbs, abortion funds spent nearly $37 million to help abortion seekers: thenation.com/article/societ…

There has been a decline in hotline calls from people self-managing abortion with pills after 13 weeks now that fewer people have to wait three or four weeks for pills to arrive from abroad: thenation.com/article/societ…

Important details from Amy Littlefield’s cover story on the revolution in telemedicine abortion: Aid Access has 10 providers operating under shield laws in the US, providing between 8,000 and 10,000 abortions *a month* nationwide—including in ban states: thenation.com/article/societ…

Read this smart and comprehensive piece on abortion pills/ shield law providers by Amy Littlefield thenation.com/article/societ…

this is a great piece. one notable aspect: some red state abortion funds don't feel comfortable ordering free/low-cost pills from blue shield law states, even though it's much cheaper than out-of-state travel. legal risk tolerance varies. other funds do.
