They also just proposed a database of women who've had abortions.

The playbook they ran against abortion is now being run against gender-affirming medical care and will be used against birth control. Oklahoma just proposed a bill to limit IUDs this week. You need to defend trans people's health care like your birth control depends on it.

New Oklahoma bill could allow state to create database of women who had abortionswww.oklahoman.com A bipartisan group of lawmakers expressed concerns that the bill could also ban some forms of birth control, such as IUDs.

This reads as state-sponsored sadistic torture. Trigger warning for everything about this American tragedy. Land of the free, richest nation on earth, land of opportunity, Omelas. Alas.

Almost a third of UK families lived in decent public housing in the 1970s, virtually without stigma. Just imagining it for my town lifts a weight.

"Quietly and with little fanfare, the idea of building new publicly owned housing for people across the income spectrum has advanced...not the kind of public housing most Americans are familiar with: It has a sleek fitness center, multiple gathering spaces, and a...pool" www.vox.com/policy/2024/...

What if public housing were for everyone?www.vox.com Local governments are trying a new way to address the housing crisis.

The edge of our farm is an abandoned railroad. We've been planting native trees and shrubs on it for 25 years. Today I stood in one spot and recorded 21 bird species in just 10 minutes! This is one of my proudest accomplishments as a farmer.
