BREAKING: Our attorneys have formally asked the U.S. Supreme Court to take on Texas HB2—a clinic shutdown law that would close over 75% of the state’s abortion clinics. This law is a sham: politicians want you to believe laws like HB2 improve women’s health care, but the truth is, they don’t. Instead, they create red tape, close clinics, and cut off access to safe, legal, abortion.

The most meaningful way you can help us put an end to clinic shutdown laws once and for all is to ensure we have the resources we need to win. Give a gift today.

It’s time to stop the sham. Texas, bring it on.

Rudy Giuliani Goes Trolling: Harass The Homeless For Their Own Good!: Gothamist

Let’s put aside Giuliani’s transparent hypocrisy and personal deficiencies for a moment and focus on the premise of the article, which is right there in its headline: “De Blasio’s Progressivism Created City’s Homeless Crisis.”This is a lie.This is a lie that has already been debunked several times. In 2013, during the last year of Bloomberg’s administration, NYC had more homeless people than it had in decades. During his whole final term, from January 2010 through December 2013, “the monthly average number of families with children in the city’s shelter system grew 20 percent. The number of adult families rose 46 percent and the number of single adults climbed 38 percent.”As the de Blasio administration has pointed out, imprisoning panhandlers doesn’t exactly solve the homeless problem in the long run. “Instead of ‘getting rid’ of people, Mayor de Blasio wants to implement long-term solutions to homelessness, building new shelters, providing supportive services and ensuring the mentally ill homeless receive the care they need,” de Blasio spokeswoman Karen Hinton said in a statement.

Muslims to be banned from Ibrahimi mosque for six days due to Jewish celebrations

PNN/ Hebron/
Israeli Occupation Authorities on Tuesday have announced that they will close the Ibrahimi mosque in Hebron’s old city for the Muslim worshipers, for six days during September, under the pretext of Jewish occasions.

Head of the mosque, Munther Abul-Feelat in a press release said that Israeli authorities decided to close down the mosque for 14, 15, 17, 23, 29 and 30 September, for Jewish celebrations, where only settlers will be allowed to enter it.

Abul-Feelat added that IOF prevented calling the Adaan (call for prayers) for 51 times during August.

The mosque is regularly closed down by Israeli forces under the same pretext, but Jewish settlers are given full privilege to break into the mosque whenever desired.

IOF set checkpoints on the entrances of the mosque and worshipers are fully inspected on the gates.
