As Trump defunds Planned Parenthood, it's a good time to look at histories of abortion struggles that reject the government and major institutions and instead build feminist popular power from below, including the ability to conduct abortions and other reproductive care.
In my 2024 article “'To Repulse the State from Our Uteri': Anarcha-feminism, Reproductive Freedom, and Dual Power” I analyze how anarcha-feminists critiqued the state and attempted to build feminist dual power in response to the New Right’s attacks on reproductive freedom.
From the 1970s to today, anarcha-feminists have sought to build grassroots infrastructure, knowledge, and organizations like self-help groups in which they learn how to conduct abortions and other reproductive care, thus taking back power from the state and medical industry.
Women’s capacity to care for their own bodies and reproduction materially lessens state power. Establishing grassroots reproductive health care infrastructure is a key component of building autonomy and feminist dual power that challenges the rule of the state and capitalism.

how do you reduce the risk of a lithium ion battery fire?
* never tinker with a battery;
* only use certified, manufacturer-approved batteries and chargers;
* keep it in sight while it charges;
* if you notice anything out of the ordinary — strange odours, discolouration, excessive heat, change in shape, leaking or odd noises — stop using it and contact the manufacturer.

We need to hurry up and fucking jettison the idea that people who go to prison "belong there", because a lot of us are at risk of "belonging there" soon enough.
Prisons by their very nature are oppressive. All prisoners are political prisoners.
Look, if we intend to make it through all the chaos that is coming, a lot of us need to start thinking in terms of liberation in a big way. We need transformative justice not imprisonment & slavery.
We can't be squeamish now. We can't clutch our pearls over "criminality" as defined by a State that exerts violent control over us all.
As far as I'm concerned, as long as our prisons are still standing, we haven't yet done enough to vanquish fascism. You have to burn the roots.
Dear liberals (if any of you are reading), please for the sake of us all, we need you to get over your fear of "criminals" as a class of person.
We need you to trust that we can build a better society that deals with violence, when it occurs, differently. For that matter, we already know that "crime" decreases when poverty decreases, so our "crime" problem is primarily a poverty problem!
Your imagination can't possibly be so poor that you can't even *faintly imagine* a future without retributive punishment & imprisonment. I *know* you have more creativity than that. Come on!
We're not free until we are all free.
Interestingly, I'm definitely a liberal and also am completely 100% aware of the obvious fact that you mention.
See also:
- Healthcare should not be provided by the market because it's nondiscretionary
- Imprisoning people is almost always counterproductive
- Benefits shouldn't be means-tested
By the way, what do you think “liberal” means?
Yep. The segments of society who feel the most excluded, will inevitably feel less bound by the "social contract" (because it was already torn up for them!) and the laws of society. That should be obvious, but the NIMBYs' first instinct is always harsher policing and increased gentrification to shield them from the hordes at the gates.
Preventing such stratification is one important reason there are no private schools in Finland.

Now in College, #LudditeTeens Still Don’t Want Your Likes
Three years after starting a club meant to fight #SocialMedia’s grip on young people, many original members are holding firm and gaining new converts.
By Alex Vadukul
Jan. 30, 2025
"Biruk Watling, a college sophomore wearing a baggy coat and purple fingerless gloves, walked the chilly campus of Temple University in #Philadelphia on a recent afternoon to recruit new members to her club.
She taped a flier to a pole: '#JoinTheLudditeClub For #MeaningfulConnections.' Down the block, she posted another one: 'Do You Desire a Healthier Relationship With Technology, Especially Social Media? The Luddite Club Welcomes You and Your Ideas.'
"When a student approached, Ms. Watling dove into her pitch.
"'Our club promotes #ConsciousConsumption of #technology,' she said. 'We’re for #HumanConnection. I’m one of the first members of the original Luddite Club in #Brooklyn. Now I’m trying to start it in #Philly.
"She pulled out a #FlipPhone, mystifying her recruit.
"'We use these,' she said. 'This has been the most freeing experience of my life.'
If Ms. Watling had a missionary’s zeal, it was because she wasn’t just promoting a student club, but an approach to modern life that profoundly changed her two years ago, when she helped form the Luddite Club as a high school student in New York.
"But that was then, back when things were simpler, before she had embarked on the more independent life of a college student and found herself having to navigate QR codes, two-factor-identification logins, dating apps and other digital staples of campus life.
"The #LudditeClub was the subject of an article I wrote in 2022 — a story that, ironically, went viral. It told of how a group of teenage tech skeptics from Edward R. Murrow High School in Brooklyn and a few other schools in the city gathered on weekends in Prospect Park to enjoy some time together away from the machine.
"They #sketched and #painted side by side. They read quietly, favoring works by #Dostoyevsky, #Kerouac and #Vonnegut. They sat on logs and groused about how #TikTok was dumbing down their generation. Their flip phones were decorated with stickers and nail polish.
"Readers inspired by their message responded in hundreds of emails and comments. Reporters from Germany, Brazil, Japan and elsewhere flooded my inbox, asking me how to reach these students who were so hard to track down online. Snarky Reddit threads and think pieces sprouted. #RalphNader endorsed the club in an opinion essay, writing: 'This is a rebellion that needs support and diffusion.'"

"It’s really important for a kid to be left alone"- When #TaikaWaititi made his feelings clear about the role of tech in children's lives
By Sourav Chakraborty
Modified May 03, 2025 04:54 GMT
" 'Exactly, now they’ve all got iPads and it’s done for them! I think it’s really important for a kid to be left alone and left to figure it out for themselves how to pass the time. As a kid, I spent so much time bored and coming up with ideas of how to do things, so I’d write stories or I’d draw pictures or invent worlds through drawing or just in my head, just thinking about things. I think that a lot of my creativity has really come from being bored.' " [SO TRUE!!!]

So this meat tastes good, but I called $$$$$ to see how their meat was treated before the animal was killed packaged and sent here. An extremely contradictory and dodgy phone call. First I was told the meat was "natural," so that sounds ok, the lady told me the animals were treated respectably, and they weren't given pesticides.
