Part of what we're doing now to survive this stage of America's fascism is funding our mutual networks of survival. Part of that is funding southern abortion funds. This abortion fund serves South Carolinians & other southerners traveling there to get abortion care now that rights are under threat.

South Carolina has been fighting for accessible abortion long before the Dobbs decision, and we’re still here fighting now. The need keeps increasing while the resources decrease, but we are scrappy and will continue to find ways to get South Carolinians (+ all Southerners) the care they deserve.

A US soldier quoted in this story, not the headliner airman, says they're "experiencing tangible mental health consequences as a result of watching a genocide in real time while simultaneously wearing a uniform that represents it." That's extremely real.

Within minutes of the Board of Trustees vote, the university had expunged the entire University Senate website, deleting decades of meeting minutes, faculty evaluations of the president, and more. Truly reprehensible.

Today the University of Kentucky Board of Trustees, being led by the nose by President Eli Capilouto, finalized the dissolution of the University Senate, putting the final nail in the coffin of shared governance.

I haven't talked about Linda except in occasional flashes of rage. She sat on the other end of the phone with me during so many long nights. I did the same for her later, because combat ptsd and her ptsd were basically the same animal. I am having a hard time with her dying. Please help my friend.

Here is the update on Linda Tirado’s need for hospice from her blog

Story Thirty-Ninelindatirado.substack.com This time, it’s for Linda.

I remember when the cops shot her like it was yesterday. I am so sorry, Linda. Please support.

When Linda finally loses this last fight, it's the goddamn fucking cops who killed her. Until then, she could use some help.
