The Word document that lived on my computer for a year becomes a real book today! THANK YOU to the many, many people who helped make this wild ride possible. Now, I'm sorry, a little obligatory promotion:
My cover story on what happens to abortion in America after Roe:
Technology, and our modern politics, has made it so the future will be both less horrifically grisly than it was a generation ago & yet more frightening than anyone could have predicted.
In his concurring opinion on the overturn of Roe, Clarence Thomas argues SCOTUS should revisit all cases built on similar legal footing—including the right to contraception, same-sex relations, and same-sex marriage.

and I decode what that means
I spent some time with the founders of
@PartnersClinic
, who are doing whatever it takes—including buying a 1990s ultrasound machine on Craigslist—to get a new, open-to-all abortion clinic open in Maryland this fall
Now in paperback is reporter

's BIG VAPE!
This eye-opening chronicle of the rise of Juul is written like a nonfiction thriller, telling the larger story of big business, big tobacco, and the cost of a product that was too good to be true.
Abortion pills + the internet are likely to play key roles in any post-Roe future. But right now data shows that telehealth abortion patients are largely white, in cities, & 25+ yo.

& I dug into how advocates are trying to expand access:
Got my hands on CTP's original PMTA "prioritization plan," which was referenced in the "Fatal Flaw" memo. There's some interesting references to age-verification technology, and how the authorization/denial timeline seemed to shift.
It is absurd that
@TIME
has been stalling contract talks with workers for nearly 3 years. I stand in solidarity with
@timemagunion
in their struggle for fair wages and decent working conditions.
