ICE Violence Is Fueled by Misogyny and White Nationalism

/

Editor’s note: This article first appeared in Ms. Magazine. The brutality we are witnessing in Minnesota, at the hands of thousands of poorly trained, heavily armed and trigger-happy men who have full reign to hunt and harass anyone who is non-white, is nothing short of state-sponsored terror. It is a horrific illustration of what unfettered power […]

How Sports Became a Battleground Over Trans Rights

/

During an NCAA women’s swimming championship in March 2022, two seniors tied for fifth place. The race was unremarkable except for one fact: One of the swimmers, Lia Thomas, was a transgender woman.

Sen. Patty Murray: GOP Abortion Pill Hearing Is “Really About” a Nationwide Ban

/

Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) decried Republican efforts to discredit medication abortion in an interview Wednesday with Mother Jones, saying that “the only reason they’re going after mifepristone is because it is the way most women get their abortive care.” Mifepristone is one of the pills used in medication abortion, which in 2023 accounted for 63 […]

Him? Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s name may not appear in Olivia Nuzzi’s forthcoming memoir, American Canto. But the 71-year-old secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services is at the burning core of Nuzzi’s return to the public eye this month, after her firing last year over a “digital affair” with the then-presidential candidate […]

South Carolina’s Abortion Bill Is So Extreme Even Anti-Abortion Groups Have Doubts

/

Imagine an abortion ban so radical that even leading anti-abortion groups have lined up to denounce it. That’s what abortion “abolitionists” are hoping eventually to unleash on South Carolina, with a key legislative hearing scheduled for Tuesday.  Senate Bill 323, also known as the Unborn Child Protection Act, may be the most draconian abortion legislation […]

Winsome Earle-Sears to “go somewhere and sit down.” Abigail Spanberger, a Democrat who represented the state’s 7th District in Congress until this year, defeated Earle-Sears in a highly anticipated race to become the […]

“If I Had Legs I’d Kick You” Invites You to Look Directly at a Woman’s Rage

/
