For @HammerandHope I interviewed Black women hit by DOGE and the impact a year later. The stories humanize the data.

Since Roe fell, abortion rights have won every time they’ve been on the ballot. But Ohio is the first state where voters actually *expanded* access in a “red” state. @drmcclain reports: thenation.com/article/societ…

Ohio voters have approved a constitutional amendment guaranteeing the right to an abortion and other forms of reproductive health care. The outcome adds to a string of wins for abortion rights advocates in numerous states since Roe v. Wade was overturned.

Another prediction on Ohio's Issue 1, the constitutional amendment on abortion and reproductive rights. Still no call from the Associated Press

Last year, OH Republicans ended most August elections, citing cost/low turnout. They nonetheless scheduled a special election next month to make it harder to change the state constitution—ahead of a likely vote on an amendment to codify abortion rights.

“We’re not interested in debate for debate’s sake," @KeeangaYamahtta tells @drmcclain. "We see this as, at its best, an effort to develop, educate, organize a new generation of radicalized people.” On the magazine @HammerandHope: thenation.com/article/societ…

In case you missed it, yesterday our show was centered around maternal mortality and both @drmcclain and @Ade_Osinubi joined us in discussing this important topic. We also spoke with @RepThierry146 on her efforts to curb maternal mortality.

Yesterday, I was interviewed on Texas Public Radio @TPRSource with @drmcclain about the Texas Maternal Mortality and Morbidity 2022 Report that revealed stark Black maternal health disparities. Thank you to @BrownMedicine for the opportunity

And do dive into @drmcclain’s gorgeous essay on Sister Souljah as a political and cultural force in the 90s and beyond—a radical activist, turned scapegoat, turned blockbuster novelist. One of my favorite pieces I’ve edited in a long time! thenation.com/article/societ…
Dani McClain retweeted
Another day, another installment of @thenation's killer '90s issue. First up, @drmcclain's exquisite piece on Sister Souljah, the rising Black activist star who was scapegoated by Bill Clinton, then re-emerged as a literary powerhouse. Must. Read. thenation.com/article/societ…

If you don’t see how family separation and forced pregnancy are connected forms of state violence, notice how adoption is being promoted as the “solution” for both.
