@shefali.bsky.socialBig news: The family of Tierra Walker, who died after she couldn't get an abortion, is suing a slate of Texas actors in state court, including AG Ken Paxton. They say the state ban is unconstitutional.
This is the first suit of its kind.

@bmigdon.bsky.socialReposted by @shefali.bsky.socialIn less than a week, Elon Musk’s super PAC has pushed out dozens of ads vilifying trans people and accusing Democratic Senate candidates of backing a “radical trans agenda.”
In at least two of the ads, the people portrayed as trans women don’t even appear to be real.
@shefali.bsky.socialWith social conservatives pushing for surrogacy restrictions, I wanted to spend time with a woman who relied on a surrogate to have her second child.

@shefali.bsky.socialJournalists in Minneapolis are working nonstop to inform us about the horrific violence being inflicted in upon their city, their state and our country — all while living through it in their communities. @mprnews.org has been invaluable.
It’s a good day to support their work
@shefali.bsky.socialNayra Guzmán was 15 days post C-section — going to see her baby in the NICU — when she was taken to Broadview and held in custody for about 34 hours. She slept on a bench and barely got food. She couldn't pump. Her story is a rare window into the growing detention of pregnant & postpartum people.
@shefali.bsky.socialMassachusetts is on the verge of passing a law to let shield law providers w/hold their names prescriptions for abortion pills. It's part of a strategy to protect providers from out-of-state lawsuits. But most abortion prescriptions are filled in California — where a similar bill is still in limbo.
