It’s ok if you do not want to be pregnant. "I don't want to be pregnant" is a full sentence that doesn't require justification.

We are beyond moved by the generosity of our comrades at @ChiAbortionFund! It has been heartbreaking to watch a resource our comrades @ReproJobs created to support people impacted by abortion bans also become so necessary due to repro management choices gofundme.com/f/repro-worker-…

Part of our #PeaceBook organizing has been demanding that CPS remove SRO’s (cops) out of schools, but to also adopt student led (& paid) restorative justice in schools. The entire institution & culture of CPS has to be driven by transformative justice. chicago.suntimes.com/educati… – at Chicago, IL

September 11th is how I learned that in emergency situations they’re trained to leave disabled people in the building. Around the same time my middle school had a fire drill and they did just that.

Children’s rights are almost nonexistent in the US—btwn abortion parental consent laws that treat children’s bodies as their parents property, attacks on kids’ access to gender affirming care & courts systematically ignoring children’s testimony of parental abuse in custody cases
"Children in the US can be legally married in 41 states, physically punished by school administrators in 47 states, sentenced to life without parole in 22 states, and work in hazardous agriculture conditions in all 50 states." hrw.org/news/2023/09/07/no-u…

daily reminder that "prison abolition" is not JUST "let's shut down the jails" - its hundreds of seemingly little solutions to problems that the carceral state purports to solve but does not solve. it's a complete reimagining of how society addresses racial and economic inequity.
