Women With High-Risk Pregnancies Have Limited Options Under Abortion Bans
---
Our reporting has found that abortion bans generally don’t include exceptions that cover health concerns pregnant women with chronic conditions can face — or if they do, doctors aren’t using them.

#Trump is on one of his middle-of-the-night social media posting screeds.
Predictably the posts are bizarre, inappropriate, unprofessional & full of weird AI created images.
He’s ranting about #Greenland, & really misreading the messages from world leaders.

Stupid is as stupid does
As well as threatening #tariffs on #EU #allies over the weekend, #Trump also sent #Norway’s PM a message tying his demands for #Greenland to the fact he had not been awarded the #NobelPeacePrize. Apparently Trump is ignorant of the fact that the Norwegian government does not award the #Nobel.
The message is incredibly pathetic & reads like a drunken text. Trump has fully lost it.

January 23
No work, school, or shopping.
MINNEAPOLIS LABOR UNION DELEGATION AND LOCAL REGIONAL LABOR
BODIES ENDORSE JANUARY 23: DAY OF TRUTH AND FREEDOM
NO WORK, SCHOOL, OR SHOPPING
MINNEAPOLIS – The Minneapolis Regional Labor Federation, AFL-CIO along with
regional bodies throughout the state, including the Saint Paul Regional Labor
Federation, the West Area Labor Council, the North East Area Labor Council and the
East Central Labor Council, have joined in solidarity to endorse a powerful unified
statewide action on January 23: Day of Truth and Freedom. The Minnesota labor
movement is united against the violent ICE occupation of our beloved cities that has
directly impacted union members, our workplaces and our families.
Workers are essential for our communities to function. Since the ICE campaign of terror
began, both immigrant and non-immigrant workers have feared for their safety when
going to work, being at work, and coming home from work. Union members and our
families are being illegally detained at alarming rates, with workplaces and schools
facing increased challenges.

A stunned #Europe finally wakes up to #Trump’s #Greenland threat
An emergency meeting of #EU ambassadors will take place in Brussels on Sunday in response to Trump’s threat, which he made after an estimated quarter of the population of Greenland’s capital Nuuk joined #protests against any potential #annexation.

Follow up on #Getty #photojournalist John Abernathy…
He later posted this image of his camera sitting on top of what appears to be a court date notice. The caption is very cryptic, but from the picture I infer his camera survived & he was in fact arrested. No word on whether he had any injuries, though at a minimum I’d expect bruises. An absolutely #unconstitutional #arrest.

My god, this is Getty #photojournalist John Abernathy. He wrote on instagram “I was tackled by #ICE agents & surrounded by about 50 #border #police. Just for taking photos. I tossed my camera to another Photographer to make sure it wouldn't be confiscated. #gettyreportage #getty at the #Whipple Federal building in #Minneapolis.”

This was the weekend Trump destroyed US exports.
The left side of the EU Parliament was already against adopting the EU-US trade deal but did not have the majority.
Now the deal is dead, as more parties outside the left are furious because of Trump's revenge tariffs towards countries protecting Greenland.

Yeah
Shocker
#European "adult" politicians are being forced to admit that #DonaldTrump is *not* an adult, but rather a petulant, acute narcissist *and* a serial, pathological liar
A poorly-raised three year old
And it's way, way, way past time these sober European "adults" begin to wake up and see #Trump for what he really is and has always been, and act accordingly
