They are just getting started

Fierce Planet Posted on July 8, 2022 by jnfrJuly 8, 2022

As I said earlier, it is important not to accept this Roe decision as normal, or as status quo. The Christian Nationalists have no intention of stopping here, no intention of letting those of us still living in free states live our lives as we wish. They intend to stomp on us all unless we conform to their religious dictates—no feminists, no queers, no history or discussion of the lives of people of color, certainly no movement forward on issues of equality and justice for workers, families, or those who live in poverty. This New York Times article reports on … Continue reading →

The death of Roe is not the end, either

Fierce Planet Posted on June 24, 2022 by jnfrJune 24, 2022

Clarence Thomas writes, in a concurring opinion, that the Supreme Court should reconsider Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell — the rulings that now protect contraception, same-sex relationships, and same-sex marriage. — Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) June 24, 2022

“Roe and Casey are overruled.”

Resources: National Network of Abortion Funds – help women who live in states where abortion is prohibited. NNAF is hosting an ActBlue account which shares donations with multiple abortion funds around the country. Planned Parenthood. I’ve had a small monthly donation to them going back years. I have created a document with information about abortion funds specific to each state: https://t.co/isAbSST2ARI encourage y'all to share this information and follow/donate to the organizations I have cited, whether or not you copy this language into tweets. — abortion donation link fairy ✨️ (@helmsinki) September 8, 2021 How to Make Abortion Pills More … Continue reading →

My White House Day with ARMY

Fierce Planet Posted on June 9, 2022 by jnfrAugust 14, 2022

ARMY is the collective name for fans of the k-pop group BTS. To be ARMY is to be part of a community, and that community is made of love. To be ARMY is to have a constant source of hope and joy, and also to feel seen and comforted in your darkest moments. ARMY fans can be found in all countries, in all languages, of all ages, of all races, of all genders and identities. I am 68 years old, bisexual and married, in rather poor health, with a long life behind me as a progressive activist. I have lived … Continue reading →

Remarks by BTS

Fierce Planet Posted on May 31, 2022 by jnfrDecember 1, 2022

They spoke to the issues of Anti-Asian violence and the need for respect and inclusion. Translation by @modooborahae. I love how they center issues of equality and diversity and respect for all individuals. Plus, of course, a shout-out to ARMY. They always remember that. ETA: All the fan translators are heroes.

This extraordinary woman

Fierce Planet Posted on March 24, 2022 by jnfrMarch 25, 2022

Ketanji Brown Jackson is, not surprisingly, more qualified than any recent candidate for the Supreme Court. Seeing the way Republicans treated her yesterday was disgusting, disturbing, horrible. That she sat calmly and responded with dignity was no surprise, but still beautiful to see. At least we had some moments like this one. "I would tell them to persevere." Giving advice to young people, Judge Jackson emotionally tells the story of being given crucial encouragement by a woman she did not know while a student at Harvard. pic.twitter.com/XmvrY95Fvk — The Recount (@therecount) March 23, 2022 And also this very passionate moment … Continue reading →

Just say Takei!

Fierce Planet Posted on February 9, 2022 by jnfrFebruary 9, 2022

Down in Florida, Gov. Desantis is pushing a “Don’t Say Gay” bill, which attempts to force LGBTQ students back into the closet again. Doing this will harm gay students in the state, as closets always do. But gay icon George Takei has a recommendation on how to fight back against states who try to repress gay people.

Spread the word and https://t.co/qi6vldDgWy pic.twitter.com/J0UqIwqgeV — Jessica Valenti (@JessicaValenti) December 1, 2021 Sotomayor is stepping in for Breyer again and asking the lawyer to distinguish his objections on abortion from objections to contraception or gay marriage.He doesn’t really have an answer.
