Last week, as we reported on "It Could Happen Here," Christian Nationalists are protesting drug stores in a push to ban access to abortion pills, and thanks to pressure from Republican attorney generals, Walgreens announced that it will now "not dispense abortion pills in several states where they remain legal...either by mail or at their brick-and-mortar locations in those states...The list includes several states where abortion in general, and the medications specifically, remain legal — including Alaska, Iowa, Kansas and Montana."

A new study about seabirds and offshore wind turbines may surprise you.

A two-year, €3 million study of seabirds at an offshore wind farm off Scotland combined radar data with cameras to identify the species of seabird and create a three-dimensional image of birds’ flight patterns and how they avoid offshore wind turbines’ rotor blades.

The study’s findings: Not a single collision between a bird and a rotor blade was recorded.

I'm always dumbfounded whenever people respond to me saying "oh that bill will never pass" or "I doubt SCOTUS would allow that."

Like... Are you serious right now? What country are you living in? Because I was also told that Trump could never win and that Roe v. Wade could never be overturned, yet here we fucking are.

The rulebook was thrown out a long time ago. The safeguards to our democracy have crumbled— don't blindly rely on them. You have to be active and vigilant. Don't give me none of this passive "everything will be fine" nonsense.

We mathematicians have a useful phrase I wish were more widespread: “necessary but not sufficient.”

Voting is necessary but not sufficient.

Please, boycott Walgreens. There are PLENTY of alternative stores.

The nation’s second-largest pharmacy chain confirmed Thursday that it will not dispense abortion pills in several states where they remain legal

I don't exactly know the best method but I think it's safe to say we can't depend on typical news outlets to report accurately, we need to find a way to take control of how things get covered publicly

@StillIRise1963 Made me think of this Jon Ronson quote:

By nit-picking those who support equality and fairness you are not "keeping it real" you are fighting for the fascists.

A Republican strategy has fully emerged: tear people apart with hate and race-baiting so nobody notices that their pockets are being picked by morbidly rich oligarchs who are funding the very politicians who are trying to get us to fight each other. But how to combat it?

#Tumblr has decided the cover of our March/April magazine issue is too “mature” to be shown without a warning label. We've appealed the decision. https://www.tumblr.com/texasobserver/710785807292743680/the-marchapril-2023-issue-of-texas-observer
