Advice for trans people

Fierce Planet Posted on January 31, 2024 by jnfrJanuary 31, 2024

Thoughtful advice for trans folks on one way to help protect your true gender identity, in the face of some states trying to erase you. Provided by Anna on Mastodon. Anna @nami@tech.lgbt If you are #trans and a US citizen, you should absolutely, 100% apply for a passport this year, whether you plan to travel or not. Yes, it costs $$, but you can self-select your gender without bureaucratic BS (thanks, Joe), and it lasts 10 years and is valid ID everywhere in the world. Whatever fascist laws your GOP reps are proposing in your state legislature about gender markers … Continue reading →

50 years of abortion rights, rescinded

Fierce Planet Posted on January 23, 2024 by jnfrJanuary 24, 2024

Yesterday was the 51st anniversary of the Supreme Court’s decision in Roe v. Wade that granted abortion rights to women. Last year in their Dobbs decision, the Supreme Court reversed itself and took those rights away. In every election since, women have turned out to restore those rights, including elections in very red states. It’s very clear that this will be a primary issue for all Democrats this year. It’s also very clear that Republicans can’t hide from the fact that their abortion bans continue to harm women around the country. In some states with abortion bans, doctors are fleeing … Continue reading →

Read the indictments

Fierce Planet Posted on August 2, 2023 by jnfrAugust 2, 2023

I am so glad to see that Jack Smith has finally brought forth his charges against Donald Trump in the matter of the Jan. 6th insurrection. Now we will see whether our system can still serve justice to a powerful, wealthy, well-connected man, when that man has committed clear and monstrous crimes. The full text of the indictments can be found here (.PDF file). It’s very much worth your time to read, as it lays out in explicit detail exactly how Trump and those around him conspired to steal the Presidential election in several different ways, invalidating the 81 million … Continue reading →

This is expected

Fierce Planet Posted on June 9, 2023 by jnfrJune 10, 2023

Be careful out there. The threat of violence continues to escalate, as we always feared it would. And Trump’s indictment (gift link) is going to ramp up their fear and anger to a ever-more-fevered pitch. ‘We Need to Start Killing’: Trump’s Far-Right Supporters Are Threatening Civil War Within minutes of Trump’s indictment, supporters lit up social media platforms with violent threats and calls for civil war. In what is becoming a now all-too-familiar trend, former President Donald Trump’s far-right supporters have threatened civil war after news broke Thursday that the former president was indicted for allegedly taking classified documents from … Continue reading →

This lawless ruling

Fierce Planet Posted on April 8, 2023 by jnfrApril 8, 2023

As expected, Judge Kacsmaryk has ruled mifepristone illegal, ignoring every scrap of science and law to impose the will of the anti-abortion movement. At the same time, a judge in Washington state ruled that the FDA must keep mifepristone available, though this ruling was not for the entire U.S. (gift link). This conflict will no doubt be sent to the Supreme Court, and quickly. Pro-choice forces are moving consistently against Republicans as election defeats pile up. If the Supremes rule in such a way that abortion becomes unavailable across the states, pressure for change from women and progressives will only … Continue reading →

What I’ve been doing

Fierce Planet Posted on March 31, 2023 by jnfrMarch 31, 2023

Mostly I’ve been trying to write something difficult again, which is always painful for me. But my temper has had other trials as well, in the shape of unknown thieves who one night stole the catalytic converter from our 2004 Prius. Yeah, we’ve been driving this car for nearly 20 years. We don’t drive much—the mileage is under 50,000 even after all this time. It was paid for years ago, and has been remarkably cheap to run. We planned to keep it for another decade at least. So when the converter was taken, we contacted our repair shop and the … Continue reading →

One step down the road

Fierce Planet Posted on March 19, 2023 by jnfrMarch 19, 2023

…towards creating the theocratic country conservatives long for. (gift link, no paywall) Wyoming’s GOP governor signs law banning abortion pills Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon (R) late Friday signed into law a ban on abortion pills, as the state adopted what appears to be the nation’s first such state law. The new law says that it will be “unlawful to prescribe, dispense, distribute, sell or use any drug for the purpose of procuring or performing an abortion.” The law includes penalties of up to six months’ imprisonment and a fine of up to $9,000. But it exempts people who take abortion … Continue reading →

The next threat to abortion rights

Fierce Planet Posted on February 8, 2023 by jnfrFebruary 11, 2023

I’ve pulled together many more articles on the fight over abortion rights as it continues here in the States. Some are quite positive from a pro-choice point of view, as states set themselves up to be abortion sanctuaries. Some showcase the continuing efforts to further force all states to comply with the forced-birth agenda of anti-choice activists. As I have pointed out before, anti-choice activists continue to look for ways to restrict access to abortion pills in particular, since most abortions these days are medication abortions. Since the postal service is federal, there is no easy way to keep pills … Continue reading →
