- Reposted by Jennie WetterHey everyone! Huge news! Our trans girl scout list has sold a total of 146,000 boxes as of today! But MANY trans girl scouts only have 20, 30, 40 boxes sold. I just resorted our list to put those on the top. Go get your girl scout cookies and make a trans kid's day!
- A must read by rePROS Fight Back Senior Fellow Preston Mitchum: In the current admin’s approach, control over reproduction becomes a tool of geopolitical power, w/ the bodies of women, queer people, & the poor used as bargaining chips in ideological battles static1.squarespace.com/static/59d64...

- 🚨 New Episode 🚨 This week on @reprosfightback.bsky.social I talk to the always fabulous @hegemommy.bsky.social w/ @rewirenewsgroup.com about the SCOTUS cases on trans girls playing sports and then we turn to discuss the first year of Trump 2.0. It's a great, but bleak conversation. #podcast
- The new expanded global gag rule that expands the previous terrible version even further to include "gender ideology" and "discriminatory equity ideology" is called "Promoting Human Flourishing in Foreign Assistance." I have a visceral reaction to that phrase.
- The expanded #GlobalGagRule comes from the Project 2025 playbook. This admin wants control, and it's weaponizing U.S. foreign aid to force extreme anti-choice + anti-rights ideologies on communities around the world, pushing governments and orgs to comply or lose U.S. funding.
- Reposted by Jennie WetterDon't forget the Supreme Court's role facilitating ICE's brutality and racism in Minneapolis. SCOTUS lifted an injunction that limited racial profiling in immigration enforcement on Sept. 8. The federal assault on Chicago began the next day. Then came the Twin Cities. SCOTUS greenlit these horrors.

- Reposted by Jennie WetterSo she had a pulse. That’s what the doctor on the scene wanted to check. She wasn’t breathing, but she had a pulse. He could have started CPR right away. Instead ICE barred the doctor from attending her and waited 15 mins for EMT to get to her.

- A must read by @reprosfightback.bsky.social senior fellow Preston Mitchum "2025 was not just a bleak moment in our history; it is a warning about our future. It shows how quickly rights can be erased, how destructive the raw exercise of power can be, and who gets scapegoated for the ensuing chaos."

- 8 years ago today we launched the @reprosfightback.bsky.social podcast. If you had told me then that I would be doing this 8 years & almost 300 episodes later I would not have believed you. But here we are a multi-award winning podcast. I am so proud of what we built and I feel so lucky 🍀

Trump and his crew shut down USAID, which has led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people, and they had no idea what they were doing or what would be the consequences. Completely immoral.
