Hi john,

Coming back to work from a break can be a damn drag, but when you’re fun as shit and have EVEN FUNNER (yeah, we said ‘funner’- what are you gonna do about it?) friends, you manage to get by. Last weekend, we spent an unforgettable evening at DoRe#MeToo in Minneapolis, where we got to listen to a bunch of fierce feminists perform sexist songs and reclaim them, all while raising money for Abortion AF! What more could a bunch of feminist buzzkills ask for?? While we were all having fun, AAF also partnered with Our Justice to get dozens of volunteers signed up to deliver Plan B to their Minnesota communities! How cool is that??

KANSAS: DOCTORS DO WHAT NOW?! 
Sometimes, we can’t believe the shit that anti-abortion politicians spew, and that’s saying something because we’ve heard it all…but then Rep. Ron Bryce enters the chat. Bryce, apparently, has made it a talking point that abortion providers are just out here MURDERING INFANTS?! We have no idea why anti-abortion extremists make shit up when, ya know, the internet exists, and he even admits to journalists that he DOESN’T KNOW OF ANY ACTUAL CASES OF THIS HAPPENING IN KANSAS. And this man was a whole ass doctor?? If you want even more deets, we drag him for even more filth on this week’s podcast!

NEVADA: EARNING A GOLD STAR FOR THE SILVER STATE!
One minute we’re scratching our heads about Kansas, and the next we’re cheering on Nevada as they filed a petition to add a question about constitutionally codifying abortion to the 2024 ballot! HELL YEAH. In the same news cycle as ‘water is wet’ and ‘the sky is blue’, abortion remains a winning issue and an inspiring example of people power mobilizing to change communities for good. They fucked around., and people are directly voting for them to find out. You love to see it.

Now it’s time to click the link below and use YOUR people power, get out in your community, and do some good!
