Patients no longer have to wait 24 hours for care and make 2 separate trips to the clinic. Also gone are the bans on abortion via telemedicine and abortion for reasons of fetal anomaly.

His acts of treason will be taught in history books for generations to come, and the name ‘Trump’ will become synonymous with treachery.

- Reposted by did:plc:jnfz2bg2e6mddimxyttrql77This article makes the case that telemedicine should be understood as a modern version of travel - which means if courts block access to abortion pills by mail, it would violate the constitutional right to travel, especially for lower-income people where virtual care is the only option.

- Reposted by did:plc:jnfz2bg2e6mddimxyttrql77"Sure, ICE is bad, but we need to deport illegal immigrants" No you don't. If immigration enforcement leads to concentration camps and roving death squads, maybe it's time to just get rid of the concept of illegal immigration entirely. You've tried it, it's a bad idea in practice, so bin it.

- Reposted by did:plc:jnfz2bg2e6mddimxyttrql77i think the thing to really understand here is that ICE is political police. there's a vestigial element that is ancestrally related to something called "immigration enforcement" (which is also bogus) but ICE is political police for policing political enemies

As pressure grew, cameras shifted and Democrats redirected the conversation. But ICE activity in Minnesota is still very real & ongoing. #FuckICE #AbolishICE
