- So excited to be at the GA Capitol today as Gov Kemp signs HB 582, the Survivor Justice Act. Thank you to our great partners GJP & GACDV for welcoming us into the fight
- I grew up in Eugene & vividly remember the day of the shooting (I was in middle school). It's so easy even for those of us who know how horrific prison is to cordon off certain cases & not think about them anymore. Thank you @jessicaschulberg.bsky.social for not letting us close our eyes

- Reposted by Felicity Rose“I used my voice & my pen to help facilitate change, & some prison administrators didn’t like it. [...] They took away my platform & labeled me a danger to the prison.” San Quentin News editor-in-chief Steve Brooks was fired for prison reform efforts. In an op-ed, Brooks writes about his silencing.
- Reposted by Felicity Rose3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie). Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development

- Reposted by Felicity RoseThe framing from legacy media on the Ms Rachel stuff is insane. Nowhere do they say that these are baseless claims, or that what she said (every child's life is precious and worthy) is not "Hamas propaganda." If u didn't know the background to this story and saw this post, you'd believe their smear
- Good news in hard times: HB 582, the Georgia Survivors Justice Act, passed unanimously today and went to the gov for signature. This bill will help hundreds of abuse survivors trapped in prison as a result of their abuse come home! wapo.st/4iVZgsb

- A fun part of my job is polling in conservative states and finding out, again and again, that Republicans believe in criminal justice reform and reducing prison & jail populations. Even the pollsters are surprised how much! Today: West Virginia: www.fwd.us/wp-content/u...
- Reposted by Felicity RoseDozens more pregnant and postpartum women have died in Texas hospitals since the state banned abortion, our analysis shows. As the maternal mortality rate dropped nationally, it rose in Texas by 33%.

- Reposted by Felicity Rose“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”
- Reposted by Felicity RoseToday I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women. More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications. I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

- Reposted by Felicity RoseThe Agriculture Department has axed two programs that gave schools and food banks money to buy food from nearby farms and ranchers. Roughly $660 million that schools and child care facilities were counting on to purchase food has been canceled. This will hurt both kids and small, local farmers.
- Hard to be surprised today.m and I know this is not funny but honestly I lol’d at this interpretation of how a farmer “makes” things. Crops: that well known fungible good

- Reposted by Felicity RoseIt seems almost unavoidable at this point that we are headed for a deep, deep recession. Just based on 200K+ federal firings & pullback of contracts, the March employment report (to be released April 4) seems certain to show bigger job losses than any month ever outside of a few in 2008-9 and 2020.

- Having watched with growing alarm the developments of the last 24 and 36 hours in Washington, I thought I’d take a stab at how the US media would cover this story if it was happening in a foreign country. Here’s that story that should be written this weekend: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-s-jun...

It increases a woman’s risk of death by 2.5 p.p within nine months, mainly due to unsafe abortion procedures, and raises the likelihood of carrying the pregnancy to term by 31 p.p. "
