Your “Feminist Buzzkills” joined forces with the “Boom! Lawyered” pod for an epic live show! After getting word that SCOTUS was hearing a case that could result in eliminating any healthcare provider from Medicaid payments if they provide abortion, we geared up for battle for one super-sized show with the amazing “Boom! Lawyered” hosts Imani Gandy (Rewire Editor-at-Large) and Jess Pieklo (Rewire Senior Vice President, Executive Editor.) We break down what this case means, and fill you in on all the outrageous tricks clown lawmakers across the country are playing trying to destroy access to reproductive care. It was a packed show full of rage and shenanigans and the DC crowd LOVED IT! This episode unpacks the arguments in Medina v Planned Parenthood South Atlantic, a case that could upend Medicaid beneficiaries ability to enforce their rights under the public benefit program all because conservatives hate abortion. We get into the history of efforts to kick Planned Parenthood out of the Medicaid program, the bad faith arguments made by conservatives to the Court as they try to do so again, and how a bad decision in the case could impact way more than access to abortion. Recorded LIVE at the Black Cat in DC, we gotta give a huge shout out and special thanks to the Black Cat crew for making the space for our loud asses AND for everyone who showed up! Tune in for the legal brilliance, the laughs, the knowledge, and some actions you can take to be the change you wanna see in this world. Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y'all. We gotchu.

Full episode transcript HERE. The first awful week ends with March for Madness – IT'S HEAVY ON THE MADNESS! Your Feminist Buzzkils are out here using facts and belly laughs to break down the early returns of how the anti-abobo gorgons will fuck with our rights. Let's snap you out of your facism fatigue, stat! Every one of you is an abobo warrior, and we salute you (in a very normal human way). Trump's first week ended with the anti-abortion mayhem known as the March for Life, AKA Unbornaroo. For 52 years they have taken over the Capital for their annual patriarchal parade of fetus worship and ovarian oppression. BUT, as always, we've got the play by play! We're bringing y'all: their lies and their plans on where they will prioritize creating policy to further destroy access to abortion care. AND, joining us is Constitutional law scholar Dr. Michele Goodwin to explain the devastating blows we can expect from their shenanigans. From plans to reinstate the Global Gag rule to how Christian legal firms have spent DECADES turning the courts into dogma distribution centers, one judge at a time. All this, PLUS, the latest on the anti-abortion “terrorists” Trump pardoned this week and all of the abobo-related news you need to know. Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y'all. We gotchu.

Your Feminist Buzzkills are BACK, BABY!! And we've got marching orders for the year ahead. Look, no one needs a crystal ball to know that 2025 is going to SUCK ASS. With the inauguration of the Queef-in-Chief, the confirmation of the cabinet of blunders, and the March For Life, this inauspicious start to the year bears grim tidings. As always, your Buzzkills GOTCHU on what to keep your ears and eyes peeled not just for the next 300+ days, but also the abobo tea from this week! From updates on the trash act for “abortion survivors” to which state government has proved to hate abortion the MOST. Plus, Moji unpacks just how intense the approval for medication abortion was, which should shut down the anti-abortion ass clowns–but it won't. So we live to podcast another day. GUEST ROLL CALL! Joining us to lay out how sham, FAKE clinics will quickly become the epicenters of evil is researcher, comms, and data guru at the Women's Law Project Tara Murtha. PLUS, what do REM's “Fables of the Reconstruction” and abortion have in common? Rock legend Jason Narducy hops in the mix and chats with us about his tour with Michael Shannon and how Abortion AF is a part of it all! Yes, a bunch of white guys are actually doing something cool to support abortion access! It's a whopper of a way to start a new year, but we'll be here with a dose of hope and a box of abortion pills through it all. Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y'all. We gotchu.

Remember when the AAF gang went to Baltimore earlier this summer to yap about abortion at THE coolest conference for progressive activists, AKA Netroots Nation?! The Buzzkills did three podcasts, and this is the last one in the series. It is a great episode but bittersweet because Moji got visited by La ‘Rona fairy and had to stay home, but filling in is AAF Programs Director, the incomparable Kristin Hady! Being at Netroots meant we got awesome guests to talk to us live! Who's Buzzkillin' with us this week? Well, word on the block is you can be PRO-FAITH AND PRO-ABORTION! *GASP* Here to preach that good, feminist word are TWO dope guests and inspiring faith leaders whose organizations are fighting their cheeks off to evangelize the Lord AND reproductive justice while welcoming others who are interested in doing the same with open arms. Reverend Terry Williams, Faith Organizer from Faith Choice Ohio, AND the Strategic Communications Director from Catholics for Choice, Ashley Wilson, drop all of their “Pro-Faith and Pro-Abobo 101” knowledge AND deliver the reassurance that religious freedom does indeed mean exercising the freedom to believe in abortion rights!

Full episode transcript HERE. MIFEPRISTONE IS HERE TO STAY!! For Now… The Supreme Court did a thing that we actually aren't pissed about! This week, the Supremes ruled UNANIMOUSLY in favor of the abortion pill mifepristone! The Court rebuffed an unfounded and politically-charged challenge to the drug from anti-abortion assholes, and not even oppression's handmaid Brett Kavanaugh took the bait. Good news can't be celebrated without a whole lot of bitching and dragging of the anti-abobo scheming that also went down this week. Who's on our shitlist? Some misogynist visionary clowns pulling some BS in the South, of course! So what comes next? Is this all part of a bigger conservative plan to outlaw abortion? Why did the Supreme Court even take this case to begin with? We've got questions AND we brought in the best in the biz to deliver the answers. Here to fill your earholes with their knowledge is the one and only publisher, author, legal expert and our favorite Law Dork, Chris Geidner! Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y'all.

Congrats on another week of surviving and fighting the patriarchy! Get your earholes ready because this week was a doozy. I think we all know by now, what happens in Texas does NOT stay in Texas. What BS are the womb hounds that run the Lone Star State pulling now? Their new kink is to blame doctors for people being denied abortion care. PLUS, the professors at University of Texas drank the kool-aid and are suing to be able to FLUNK students who get abortions. Apparently, 2+2=WHORE! Oh, and remember the Zurawski v. Texas case we've been following for over a year? Joining us to talk about what it all means and her tremendous commitment to fight for us all is lead plaintiff in the case, Amanda Zurawski. Check out a full list of their plaintiffs here. And obvi we're gonna drag the Senate for failing to protect birth control and laugh about the 20-foot IUD erected in DC! AND EVEN MORE GUESTS It's the Liberace of abortion! Musical Comedian, Sarah Hester Ross, is on spirit-lifting duty. The funny AF abortion stan originally from the Sunshine State yaps with us about her special Don't Mess With a Redhead, her fun little series “Florida Man Fridays,” and pushing boundaries talking about abortion, sexism, and queerness through her musical comedy. PLUS! Every year, we drag our abobo-loving booties over to Netroots Nation, AKA summer camp for progressives, to broadcast live and link up with our fav radical activists from all over. What goes down there? How does Netroots elevate issues, intersectionality, and what's so special about it this election year?

Full episode transcript HERE.Biscuits, BBQ, and Bodily Autonomy - guess which one you won't find in the South? We are in FULL rampage mode over the latest update out of Louisiana. The clown governor just signed into law a horrifying bill that reclassifies FDA APPROVED AND EXTREMELY SAFE abortion medications as "controlled dangerous substances." What does this mean for pregnant Louisianans? We brought in Tyler Barbarin of Louisiana Abortion Fund to unpack it all. PLUS, Texas hits us where it hurts...TWICE. We drag the Texas Health Department for filth for replacing an actual expert on their Maternal Mortality Committee with ANTI-ABORTION fetus-worshipper, Dr. Ingrid Skop. WAIT - It gets worse! Texas Republicans reaffirmed in their party platform that the penalty for aborting any and all fertilized eggs that colonize your uterus is the DEATH PENALTY. WE GOT MORE GUESTS!! Slovenia's very own powerhouse activist, Nika Kovač is here! The Founding Director of 8th of March Institute tells us about the My Voice, My Choice abortion access initiative, getting doxxed by the ex-prime minister, and how she's obliterating the patriarchy in Europe. WHERE THE LAUGHS AT? Comedian & Author, Kate Willett, has us laughing our nip hairs off about polyamorous horror stories, her new special "Loopholes," and being loud about abortion in her comedy!

PLUS, your Feminist Buzzkills are dishing the dirty deets on how deranged Alabama Senator, Katie Britt, decided to celebrate Mother's Day with the reveal of a Big Brother-esque, pregnant person database for anti-abortion centers.

The Feminist Buzzkills are in FULL rage mode this week as our heads are still spinning from Arizona's latest assault on people with a uterus. The ghouls on Arizona's Supreme Court ruled that an 1864 abortion ban will be enforced in less than TWO WEEKS. Plus, what does it mean when three judges agree that Indiana's near-total abortion ban does in fact violate Hoosiers' religious freedom? And the anti-abobo clowns Ohio try to push a whole new pile of nonsense on their constituents. Listen to Moji and me drag it for the stank filth that it is. Need all the deets? We got you. Need to let your primal scream out? We got you on that too.GUEST ROLL CALL: Dr. Tracy Weitz, Professor of Sociology and Director for the Center on Health, Risk, and Society at American University in DC is Buzzkilling with us!

Hilarious comedian and award-winning writer, Laurie Kilmartin, who you probably recognize from “The Late Late Show with James Corden” is here!

What went down with bodily autonomy this week? The South is indeed Southing! The Florida Supreme Court hit the Sunshiners where it hurts– right in the ute. We bring you all the tea on what the Florida six-week ban means for abortion seekers throughout the South. BUT can the state's ballot initiative save the day? AND what happens when Texas fucks around and charges a woman with MURDER for self-managing her abortion?! They find out the hard way as this superstar in the Lone Star State sues their asses straight to hell and back. We gotchu with all the deets. GUEST ROLL CALL: The one and only Asha Dahya IS HERE! The brilliant Director and Producer buzzkills with us about her film "Someone You Know" and destigmatizing later abortion.

The Feminist Buzzkills were at SCOTUS for the abortion pill, AKA Mifepristone, oral arguments with the Abortion Access Front team and some dope-ass volunteers! We took to the streets of DC with rage, force, and Beyoncé on full blast. If you haven't heard us rant about it a million times already, our beloved LIFE-SAVING Mifepristone pill is being challenged, even though it has been FDA-approved and safely used for over 20 years!!Didn't get a chance to hear yesterday's arguments? Need some clarity on WTF it all means? Well, that's what your Feminist Buzzkills are for! Let Lizz, Moji, Dooks, and a special guest spill about all of the things that went down inside AND outside of the Supreme Court during the oral arguments. SPECIAL GUEST ALERT! We brought in the best in the biz - brilliant author, constitutional law scholar, and Abortion Access Front board member Dr. Michele Goodwin. She sits down with us to recap the good, the bad, and the cringey of yesterday's oral arguments. What did Justice Amy Coney Barrett say? How many slam dunks did Justice Jackson gift us? Are they going after EMTALA next? We explain that and so much more! Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y'all. We gotchu.

Full episode transcript HERE. Lizz is back! This week's secret words are “Fightmaster” and “Catalonia” – and they're both making this world a much doper and safer place for folks with uteruses. Your Feminist Buzzkills are ranting and raging about the anti-abortion movement's talent for inventing fake problems to solve, and then miraculously solving them. We're also diving hard into these clowns' obsession with abortion coercion and spotlighting northern Idaho's Jen Jackson Quintano, the lone abortion rights organizer holding down the fort and building an army of womb warriors. GUEST ROLL CALL: The one and only, E.R. Fightmaster IS HERE! They rant with us on non-toxic masculinity, queer joy, how doctors and abortion activists can be more inclusive, and why everyone needs to go stream their EP Violence RIGHT NOW! PLUS, Catalonia's very own Minister of Feminisms, Tània Verge Mestre, blesses us with her knowledge on intersectional feminist politics in Catalonia (AKA Feminist Paradise), getting a seat at the table, menstrual equity and its ties to gender and climate justice, and so much more. This is a powerful one! Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y'all. We gotchu.

We drag, expose, and deep dive into Tom Parker, the judicial creeper who just stuck his grubby hands in your IVF freezer.

Well, well, it's not every day your Buzzkills are graced with a MacArthur Genius fellow, but today is NOT one of those days! Dr. Diana Foster Greene is in the pod house talking about her award-winning research paper, The Turnaway Study, which is a comprehensive look at the harms caused by folks being denied abortion care. It is incredible. Lizz is out on the film festival circuit with the AAF documentary No One Asked You, so our intrepid news dumper Alyssa “Dooks” Al-Dookhi is holding it down with Moji, and they are digging deeper into the biggest stories of the week. There is righteous news from pro-choice South Carolina politicians who are trolling the menz who passed their neanderthal abortion bans. Their new bill demands the state to pay for EVERY SINGLE COST associated with pregnancy. It is the energy we need to see across all these states where barbarians mind the gate. Also, WOOF!

Today's weather in our nation's capital was mostly patriarchy with scattered showers of dude-splaining, because today was the 50th annual MARCH FOR LIFE, the country's biggest gathering of anti-abortion dickbags! Your Feminist Buzzkills watched so you don't have to and we are naming, shaming, exposing and dragging the whole thing for filth, just the way we always do. Did they try to appear like compassionate and reasonable uterus-policing ogres now that they know just how much America is against them? Or did they just double down on the extremism? And what are they planning for 2024? WE ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS and so much more.To break it all down, we brought in one of the best in the biz, AAF's very own Extremist Whisperer, Kristin Hady. She helps cut through all the BS and gives y'all the inside scoop on all the players involved in this year's Oppressionpallooza. PLUS, Dr. Grace Howard is here! Grace literally wrote the book on the Pregnancy Police, i.e. all the ways the fascists want to criminalize and control every pregnancy. We're blabbing with her on the criminalization of pregnant people post-Roe, how there are no “havens,” and what we can do to shut down the policing of pregnant people.

Full episode transcript HERE.The garbage anti-abobo people of America got real busy this week, but no need to fear, your Feminist Buzzkills are here to sift through all of the hot steaming trash for y'all! Catholic hospitals are doing what they do best and gobbling up small non-religiously-affiliated hospitals. We're also blabbing about Qatar Airways announcing it will NO LONGER do invasive gynecological exams on passengers. Hold up-- what?! Yeah, it's a thing, and the details of this story are soooo disgusting you may wanna wear a hazmat suit when you listen. We're breaking it all down and more including the juicy deets on Texas AG Ken Paxton suing Yelp for identifying fake clinics as…um… fake clinics. We couldn't make this shit up if we tried.SPECIAL GUEST ROLL CALL: The Buzzkills welcome stellar researcher and Senior Project Manager at The Society of Family Planning, Vanessa Arenas, to talk about the assault on birth control, their latest extensive study on accessing care post-Dobbs, AKA #WeCount, and why YOU should know all about it. PLUS, the hilarious and inspirational comedian, actor, author, and Latina badass, Aida Rodriguez, is in the house buzzkilling with us about dragging the patriarchy in comedy and life, her new memoir Legitimate Kid and reminiscing about being on the battleground with AAF.

All new podisode, all new SHIT WE CANNOT BELIEVE WE HAVE TO SAY. Colorado has taken the RADICAL position of saying you cannot take pills to reverse your abortion. Why RADICAL? Because in many of these United States, doctors are required to recommend that BS now, and the Buzzkills are here to rage and remind you that you cannot “Back To The Future” your abortion. PLUS we'll bring y'all up to speed on mean old Southwest Airlines and its war on innocent anti-abortion flight attendants who just want to send their colleagues candygrams full of fetus porn. It is the creepy abortion lawsuit that keeps on giving… us a rash. Oh, and some Ohioan doctors are actually in their right minds and want to protect patients– we've got the scoop on all that too. And as always, we've got special guests! From Dicks: The Musical, the hilarious Danielle Perez is here to gently remind us that we have kinda been big ol' ableist assholes when it comes to our abortion advocacy. (No, really.) She shares her abobo story, intersectionality and being Dominican in Los Angeles.And how does the ONE employee at the Wild West Abortion Fund in Nevada handle getting care for everyone out there who needs a damn abortion? Jas Margarita Tobon is that one employee, and she's spilling the whole truth about it, the challenges they face and the power of community. Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y'all. We gotchu.

Big pod this week, diving right in! Soooo remember how Kansas voted to protect abortion access in a landslide ballot initiative? Guess that didn't matter to the anti-abortion babadooks in the Kansas legislature. Ever since that win, they have FOUR DIFFERENT abortion restrictions that are laughably terrifying. We are breaking down every single one of them and asking how these creeps keep getting elected when the people of Kansas voted overwhelmingly against these kinds of policies. And all this is happening while in the same week, 12 more people just sued because they almost died without abortion access. It's grim, but we always bring the facts, the funny, and the ways you can fight back! PLUS, Barry Lynn from Americans United For Separation of Church and State is our guest! He's been fighting to keep religion out of government and our underpants forEVER, and he's dishing with your Buzzkills about his entire life of being “Paid To Piss People Off” (that's the name of his memoirs!). This guy has been in the abortion fight from the beginning. Also, he has gossip about Dead Phyllis Schlafly.OPERATION SAVE ABORTION: You can still join the 10,000+ womb warriors fighting the patriarchy by listening to our five-part OpSave pod series and Mifepristone Panel by clicking HERE for episodes, your toolkit, marching orders, and moreROE-CABULARYDiscovery- the process by which the two sides in a lawsuit exchange information about the evidence and witnesses they will present to avoid a “trial by ambush,” according to the American Bar Association, the professional association for lawyers, law students and judges.”SHOW NOTESHOSTS:Lizz Winstead @LizzWinsteadMoji Alawode-El @MojiLocksNEWS DUMPER:Alyssa Al-Dookhi @TheDooknessSPECIAL GUESTS: Barry Lynn TW/IG: @barrywlynn/ @realrevbarrylynnWebsite: barrywlynn.comFacebook: Barry W.

Full episode transcript HERE.There's an abortion training crisis, Buzzkills, and Lizz and Moji want YOU to be informed. In this week's episode, we get DEEP into it with the oh-so-marvelous Pamela Merritt, Executive Director of Medical Students for Choice. She's here to educate your earholes with all the deets on how doctors and med students are fleeing states with shitty abortion bans, why EVERY med professional needs abortion training, and how dangerous this is for OBGYN care across AmericaYour Buzzkills also expose the latest horror story about fake clinics, which involves a pregnant woman who found out in the WORST way just how dangerous these places are and decided to fight back with a class-action lawsuit. The awesome episode is the last one of the three we recorded live back in July at the Netroots Nation gathering in Chicago. Netroots is the largest gathering of progressive writers, activists, and organizers in America, and the Buzzkills were front and center every day, dropping our abortion knowledge in front of hundreds of attendees each day! Hope you enjoy it! ::Programming note:::We are going on a summer break but will be back with all new episodes on September 8th. Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y'all. We gotchu.

We packed the house at Terminal West, a dope comedy and music venue, and fed off all the vibezzzzzzz. As always, Moji and I broke down the stories that made steam blow out of our wherevers. Fetus lawyers? Abortion reporting across state lines? It's just as creepy as it sounds. We also had FIVE amazeballs guests join our southern soirée. Comedian Baron Vaughn hilariously shared why he moved to Atlanta, the challenges of raising kids in this current hellscape, and why the Writers Guild of America/Screen Actors Guild strikes are something we all should care about. Plus, we had the BEST fake TV Lawyer™ (AKA Brian Unger) do a very special fake commercial! We talked with INCREDIBLE Georgia Reproductive Justice activists and abortion providers Agbo Ikor, Kwajelyn Jackson, and Inyang Njoku about all the issues in Georgia around the six-week ban, the insidious rise of fake clinics and how Cop City is a huge Reproductive Justice issue.

A daily news briefing from Catholic News Agency, powered by artificial intelligence. Ask your smart speaker to play “Catholic News,” or listen every morning wherever you get podcasts. www.catholicnewsagency.com - Pope Francis' prayer intention for the month of December is for volunteer not-for-profit organizations. The pontiff called volunteers who work with not-for-profit organizations “artisans for mercy.” He said: “Being a volunteer who helps others is a choice that makes us free; it opens us to other people's needs — to the demands of justice, to the defense of the poor, to the care of creation. It means being artisans of mercy: with our hands, with our eyes, with our attentive ears, with our closeness…Let us pray that volunteer not-for-profit and human development organizations may find people willing to commit themselves to the common good and ceaselessly seek out new paths of international cooperation.” https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/252961/this-is-pope-francis-prayer-intention-for-december Two Catholic priests captured by Russian troops are “being tortured without mercy,” the leader of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church said Thursday. Major Archbishop Sviatoslav Shevchuk issued an appeal to international authorities on December 1 to help facilitate the release of Father Ivan Levytskyi and Father Bohdan Heleta, who have been held in captivity for more than two weeks. The Ukrainian archbishop asked Catholics around the world to pray for the release of the priests. In an interview published earlier this week, Pope Francis described Ukrainians as “a people who are martyred.” https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/252969/ukrainian-archbishop-appeals-for-release-of-catholic-priests-captured-by-russian-troops The second victim in a Louisiana double homicide that also claimed the life of a local Catholic priest, Father Otis Young, has been identified. Ruth Prats, a 73-year-old former staff member who worked for Young when he was pastor at Saint Peter Catholic Church in Covington, was identified as the second victim, the local coroner announced Thursday in a press conference. The homicides both occurred either Sunday night or Monday morning, the coroner's office said. It was reported that both Young and Prats were reported missing on Sunday. On Monday evening, police announced that they had taken a suspect, 49-year-old Antonio Donde Tyson of Covington, into custody. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/252968/louisiana-catholic-parish-double-homicide-victims-identified The FBI is offering a $17,500 reward for credible leads in the arson of a a pro-life pregnancy center in northern Colorado that is still under investigation after five months. Longmont Police Chief Jeff Satur told a Wednesday press conference that investigators have few leads, the Denver Gazette reported. Investigators are again asking for aid from anyone with local video from the time of the crime, this time from a wider area. They are also analyzing the handwriting of the vandals' graffiti messages. One message was in cursive while the other was not. The fire took place early Saturday morning on June 25. The Life Choices pregnancy center in Longmont sustained fire and heavy smoke damage. The front of the building also was defaced with pro-abortion slogans, including “Bans Off Our Bodies.” The threatening phrase “If abortions aren't safe neither are you,” was written in cursive with black spray paint. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/252964/longmont-colorado-pregnancy-center-arson-fbi-reward Today, the Church celebrates Saint Bibiana, an obscure Roman martyr after which a basilica is named. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/saint/st-bibiana-71
Please welcome back Melissa(she/her) for this week's episode! Melissa joins us in discussing current, and possible future, political decisions that will affect us all.

Season 2, Episode 10 of A View from the Left Side focuses on the fight to maintain abortion rights in the United States. [This podcast was recorded before the June 24, 2022 Supreme Court decision on abortion.] Senator Nancy Barto brags that Arizona is the #1 "Pro-Life" state in the country. That's because, for years, Arizona Republican politicians have followed the extreme anti-abortion agenda laid out by Cathi Herrod of the Center for Arizona Policy. Barto often sponsors these repressive reproductive rights bills, like the recent 15 week abortion ban.If the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) strikes down the landmark abortion rights case, Roe v Wade, in the coming weeks, Arizona's "Pro-Life" label will come back to haunt many residents as they find their right to body autonomy removed by state law. Arizona Republicans passed the contentious 15 week abortion ban in 2022, but there are many abortion-related laws on the books. Some Territorial Era statutes criminalize doctors and patients for abortion. Controlling reproductive rights and sexuality are popular topics for Republican legislation. Rep. Walt Blackman is running for Congress on a strong anti-abortion platform and has made at least three campaign-style anti-abortion speeches on the Floor of the House this year. If Roe goes down, the women of Arizona should brace themselves for an onslaught of more repressive laws from the Republicans, as long as they control the government. Arizona currently has 61 places in statutes that mention "abortion," but ZERO statutes that limit the reproductive rights of men. That is obviously state-based discrimination against women. Arizona needs a statewide Equal Rights Amendment. Abortion care is NOT a states' rights issue. A person's reproductive rights should not change when they cross state lines. The government has no right to meddle in a person's medical, financial and family planning decisions. Will people move out of repressive states like Arizona, Texas, Mississippi and Florida -- or just not move in? Arizona touts sunshine and low taxes, but it also soon will have forced pregnancy and no water.The US Senate should dump the filibuster and protect reproductive rights (and voting rights). The filibuster is a roadblock to progress. It's time for systemic change to save our country. Bans Off Our Bodies Rallies NationwideIn May and June, there were rallies and marches around the country to protest this ideological strike against women's rights and body autonomy by a Supreme Court packed with appointees from a discredited President.The second half of the podcast includes two of the speeches from the Tucson Bans Off Our Bodies rally on May 14, 2022 -- one by Congressman Raul Grijalva and the second one by State Senator Stephanie Stahl Hamilton. Grijalva calls out Arizona Senator Kyrsten Sinema for clinging to the filibuster and for ignoring reproductive rights and voting rights. Rev. Stephanie's speech will bring tears to your eyes. The age, gender, ethnic and racial diversity of the Tucson crowd shows the diversity of the abortion rights issue. An estimated 1000 people showed up for the Tucson rally.

Welcome to Season 2 of the Swing Left Nebraska Podcast. It's been nearly two weeks since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade placing the right to abortion into the hands of the states. After the news dropped, protests have been happening regularly across the state. Thousands of Nebraskans are showing up and making their voices heard. On Tuesday June 28th, I was one of those Nebraskans's who showed up to the "Bans Off Our Bodies” rally on 72nd dodge. I met four awesome protesters who were kind enough to share their stories about why they were on the streets fighting to protect abortion rights.

As the future of Roe looks increasingly shaky, the implications of its overturning could result in a number of outcomes some of which may not immediately occur to many of us. Pamela Merritt, Executive Director of Medical Students for Choice, talks to us about what the likely overturning of Roe v. Wade may mean for criminalization, health outcomes, and abortion education and training for medical students and residents. As the fall of Roe looms, the criminalization of pregnancy outcomes, sexual and reproductive health, and self-managed abortion may become more commonplace. Already, criminalization has crept closer and closer; Texas's SB8 allows for anyone to sue for those who “aid and abet” in abortion access or care. In a country in which people of color are already hyper-surveilled, these outcomes will be disproportionately felt by Black communities and other communities of color. In an international context, Poland is currently seeking to create a registry of pregnant people using self-reported and investigated information. For so many, being able to decide whether or not to carry a pregnancy to term may be a life-or-death decision or can result in extreme health outcomes. For Black pregnant people in the U.S., maternal mortality rates are four times higher than the general population. Putting abortion out of reach means contributing to the persistent maternal health crisis. Abortion bans also impact fertility, access to in vitro fertilization, and the ability to treat fibroids, endometriosis, and polycystic issues. Miscarriage management and treatment of ectopic pregnancies may be up for debate among risk-averse hospital ethics boards. Roe's future will have an unknown impact on abortion training and education among medical students and residents. In states that are poised to ban or limit abortion, will residency programs teaching on abortion care and family planning may lose accreditation? Will accrediting programs change their standards of care based on the American Academy of Obstetricians and Gynecologist's best practices? Likely, in 5 to 20 years, patterns of geographic access to care may become clearer, where providers are legally safer practicing abortion in some areas of the country compared to others.

We hear important, real reasons why people turned up to advocate for abortion as a human right. Then Kris sits down with artist Chiara No for a discussion of Tipper Gore and paparazzi photographs of celebrity vaginas. They talk testosterone, crowning, pregnancy metal and gender pirating. Abortion takes over the conversation naturally from these topics, and Chiara and Kris share their thoughts on the real issues around abortion and autonomy: personhood, humanity, and freedom.

A white gunman killed 10 people and injured three others on Saturday at a grocery store in a historically Black neighborhood of Buffalo, New York. Local authorities and the FBI are investigating the mass shooting as a hate crime.On Saturday, thousands of people across the U.S. took to the streets to protest the leaked SCOTUS opinion that would overturn Roe v. Wade. More than 450 “Bans Off Our Bodies” marches happened around the country, and we hear from demonstrators who showed up in Los Angeles to support abortion rights.And in headlines: a Russian judge said WNBA star Brittney Griner will remain in custody for at least another month, Finland and Sweden will apply for NATO membership, and the Ukrainian band Kalush Orchestra won this year's Eurovision Song Contest.Show Notes:Tell us how the end of Roe would affect you – wad@crooked.comDonate to abortion funds, take action and more via Vote Save America – votesaveamerica.com/roeFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/whataday/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

Hey,Something happened at my TEDx Asbury Park talk a few weeks ago.Before the actual event, we did a quick run through of the whole program and I learned that the whole cast (all the speakers) would go back on stage at the end and sing a musical number about Joy with a group of performers. The idea was that we would be holding hands, clapping and singing lyrics like, “This joy I have, the world didn't give it to me. The world didn't give it, the world can't take it away.” It was a beautiful song and they had a wonderful lead singer. And forgive me if this is right up your alley but for me doing this type of thing on stage is the equivalent of dying a thousand deaths. I can do my thing anywhere, no problem. But singing and holding hands?I was like…Yeah…no. I don't fucking think so.I waited until after the run through and explained that I wouldn't be participating in the finale. My Ted point person kind of laughed and was like, Everybody's doing it! Even so-and-so celebrity chef! I was very nice about it all, but I didn't budge from my position. I'm not doing it. No way. No how. No chance. Not my jam. And honestly? I felt proud of myself for standing up for my inner child.I gave my talk, it went great. And so I sat in the audience to watch the second set of speakers.Out came Edafe Okporo, author of the upcoming book Asylum. Edafe is a Nigerian refugee. He spoke about feeling Othered. Nigeria had criminalized homosexuality with up to 14 years imprisonment…Edafe was outed, beaten and humiliated. He came to the US as a refugee. He spoke about being othered in Nigeria because he was a gay man…being othered in America because he was a refugee…being othered in the black community because he's African…being othered in the LGBTQ community because he's a refugee. It was one of the most painful yet beautiful and inspiring talks about belonging and finding home that I'd ever heard.But I'm not just sharing this because he is incredible (which he is!).This talk penetrated me viscerally in the moment. I realized that the reason I didn't want to do the group activity was I was Othering myself before someone else had a chance to do it. I also grew up Othered as an Iranian immigrant. My family would get chased by a group of teenagers with sticks when we first moved to America. I was othered for being Muslim. Even when I was at the height of my career, I was othered by Gawker for being successful. And not just Gawker, Jane Pratt, my hero at the time publicly made a statement about how she was younger than me when she became Editor-in-Chief of Sassy at 24 because some news outlet said I was the youngest ever Editor-in-Chief. Other Sassy Editors went on record for a book about Sassy's history saying how desperate I was to work there in college (true) and made me sound like a big dork. (True, yes. I was. But publicly? In a book? Who does that?) I'd been othered my whole life – not as horrifically as Edafe, but it was a wounding for me. And by avoiding new group settings, I was othering myself before anyone else had a chance to do it. As the following speakers came on, honestly? I didn't hear a word they said. I was just replaying the different strategies I'd come up with to avoid feeling Othered. It was truly a revelation. I told myself, “Atoosa, next time, you'll make a different decision. A braver decision.”Just then one of the Ted people found me in the audience to tell me it was time for the song performance. She hadn't gotten the memo that I was a hard no. In that moment, I realized this is next time. I got my opportunity to make a different decision. And I went. I went.I sang the song. Held hands. Awkwardly clapped. The whole nine yards.Was I horrified? Hmm…well….it wasn't my most comfortable experience. But I stuck my proverbial paw out from under the couch. I became part of the group and took several big steps outside my comfort zone. And most importantly, I felt so proud that I course-corrected in the moment. I credit meditation with my ability to be present enough to really hear Edafe's powerful message and gear shift in real time. That felt big for me. I wouldn't have been able to do that just six months ago.And the progress doesn't end in Asbury Park!Yesterday, as you may know, Planned Parenthood helped organize Bans Off Our Bodies rallies all over the country to protest the Supreme Court leak. None of my friends were available to attend with me…and I had actually never attended a rally ever….and well…we've already established how I feel about groups where I don't know anyone. Add to that, I'm not a yeller or hooting and hollering type. I was feeling all the feels I felt at the TEDx conference. But I did a 40-minute meditation, put on my favorite new jeans and reminded myself I could always leave if it was too uncomfortable.And off I went to the rally!I bee-lined all the way to the back and stood on my own. I told a woman next to me I had never been to a rally before and I was feeling a little anxious. The lovely organizer of the event, poetically named Joy (I swear! I couldn't make that up!), came over and gave me a very warm welcome and draped a fun pink necklace around me. Another person came and gave me bubbles. And…I blew bubbles! That felt like something I could do. And little by little, I started woo-ing…maybe not as loud as the others. But slowly I melted and relaxed into belonging and before I knew it, it was 2pm and the protest was over. I did it and I even made a new kick-ass friend (Hi Jennifer!) in the process! We chatted about my opinion about the importance of overcoming shame to tell our abortion stories so that our side comes out of the shadows. Women who exercise their right to choose don't belong in the shadows. And neither do I. Neither do I.Thank you for co-creating this space of belonging with me. One day, we will have more comments in the comment section!!!! I know it!! But as the girl who was tucked in at the back of the rally yesterday, I also understand that it can be scary to put your voice out there. But still, I wonder - where do you feel the most belonging? Leave a comment!Whether you comment or not, I'm here for you, 24/7, as always at atoosa@atoosa.com.xo, atoosaSoundtrack of my
The January 6th commission issued subpoenas to five Republican Congressmembers including House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy in order to gain information about communications they had with the White House leading up to the riot, during it, and after. These are critically being issued before the committee begins its public hearings next month.Tomorrow is a nationwide day of action with Bans Off Our Bodies rallies. These demonstrations are meant to empower people to stand up for abortion access in a time when Roe v. Wade is poised to be overturned by the Supreme Court. Kelley Robinson, the Executive Director of Planned Parenthood Action Fund and an organizer for the marches, joins us to discuss her message to folks who plan on attending.And in headlines: Finland's leaders announced that their country would apply for NATO membership, Twitter fired two of its top executives and instituted a hiring freeze, and Spain is considering monthly medical leave to folks who suffer from severe menstrual pains.Show Notes:Ban Off Our Bodies Rally on May 14th – https://bit.ly/3P1KxgNSend us your pics and videos from your time at a rally – wad@crooked.comDonate to abortion funds, take action and more via Vote Save America – votesaveamerica.com/roeFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/whataday/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

Hundreds of Bans Off Our Bodies rallies were held across Pennsylvania and the United States last Saturday. The demonstrations brought out hundreds of thousands of people supporting access to abortion and reproductive healthcare. The Senate Judiciary Committee releases a report saying we were much closer to a serious Constitutional crisis than we thought...and we already thought we were pretty close. And, of course, some PA regulars are in the cross hairs. The House January 6 Commission says it will start issuing criminal subpoenas The Pandora Papers dropped, exposing how world leaders, celebrities, and the uber rich are using U.S. tax havens and real estate to park their riches out of the reach of taxation and public scrutiny. As described in The Washington Post, “The investigation identified 206 U.S.-based trusts linked to 41 countries. Nearly 30 of the trusts held assets connected to people or companies accused of fraud, bribery or human rights abuses in some of the world's most vulnerable communities.” Bernie Sanders is pretty much done with coddling Joe Manchin. Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Oculus all go down the day after Frances Haugen, a former Facebook employee turned whistleblower appeared on 60 Minutes and spilled the beans on Facebook ignoring its own research that its platform was causing real-world damage to democracy and well-being. The American Prospect lays out - again - how Biden can use executive actions to take decisive action on climate. So, what's it going to be, Biden? The climate or Joe Manchin's Foo Foos. And a great piece in In These Times, discusses a new report from Democratic Party consultants that shows evidence that the fate of the Democratic Party is intimately tied to the decline of union power. Pointing to the fact that the Democratic Party and the labor movement itself needs to throw everything it has into new organizing. Attorney General Josh Shapiro filed 48 criminal charges against Energy Transfer Partners for environmental damage and contamination from the Mariner East Pipeline. March on Harrisburg rained on Jake Corman's fundraising golf outing at Toftrees resort near Penn State. Wealthy donors paid between $500 - $10,000 to bend Corman's ear on the back 9. Activists lined the trail between the 10th and 11th hole, attempting to engage donors and holding signs that read “Senator Corman - Meet with Voters Not with Donors;” “Lawmaker Bribery: Par for the Course;” and “The Gift Ban Should be a Gimme.” Activists took this latest action after Senate Pro Tempore Jake Corman refused to bring Gift Ban legislation up for a vote. School Board craziness continues. I continue to dodge COVID. Mikey Stacks is Back trying to get a hold of his old senate seat. Stack's old senate seat went to John Sabatina - a Stack protege - when Mike Stack became Lt Gov. Senator Sabatina is leaving the Pennsylvania Senate for a Philadelphia court seat. Sabatina was picked as a replacement democratic nominee when the original nominee dropped out of the race. Philly politics at its finest. Captain Kirk is going to get a shot to go to space...or a part of space at least. That's right, William Shatner is getting a ride on the next Blue Origin scheduled for Tuesday, October 12. At 90 years old, he'll be the oldest person to go to space. Special shout out to Matthew Biniek for the nice cache of Half-Orc Pumpkin Ale, homebrewed by Biniek BioTech Brews.
