The founder of a New Hampshire addiction treatment network was accused of sexually harassing or assaulting women. How did he get away with it? Lauren Chooljian goes inside the American addiction treatment industry and its long-standing culture of sexual misconduct.

Funder, pilot, survivor, physician. @abbyvesoulis.bsky.social goes inside the broad and determined network of abortion advocates—doctors, drivers, hotline volunteers, and even pilots—who have stepped up to assist abortion journeys around the country.

Mother Jones (@motherjones.com):

The number of immigrants detained in ICE facilities across the country has reached a record high of more than 56,000. The driving force behind this surge is the detention of immigrants with no prior criminal convictions.

Mother Jones (@motherjones.com):

When @juliannemcshane.bsky.social reached out to DHS for comment on Mahmoud Khalil's speech, the department appeared to confuse Khalil with Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Abrego Garcia is the Maryland man whom the Trump administration admitted it deported due to an “administrative error."

Mother Jones (@motherjones.com):

Mahmoud Khalil, finally free, speaks out I was at the rally today, a block from Columbia, where Mahmoud gave his most extensive public comments since being freed on Friday. He called himself “a freedom fighter,” “a refugee,” “a father & husband,” & “above all… a Palestinian.” New @motherjones.com

Across the country, women seeking addiction treatment are being harassed and assaulted by men in positions of power. The problem is so pervasive that it has a name among those in the industry: the 13th Step. This week on Reveal, we dive into this culture of misconduct in recovery communities.

An ultra-conservative federal judge in Texas has lobbed another hand grenade in his long-running battle to limit access to reproductive healthcare around the country—this time by vacating a privacy rule intended to shield abortion seekers and providers from criminal and civil state investigations.

Mother Jones (@motherjones.com):

In February alone, the national suicide hotline's program for LGBTQ youth—who are four times more likely to attempt suicide than their peers—received an average of 2,100 contacts per day. Now the Trump administration is shuttering this critical resource.

There are many reasons why citing the Cass Review is inappropriate--chiefly that nationalized medical care is so different than our own. But, as I have reported, and researchers have pointed out, the Cass Review has some key red flags:

Mother Jones (@motherjones.com):

These state laws banning gender-affirming care for youth are a product of religious-right and anti-LGBTQ activist organizing, starting in the years after Obergefell. We know this, because we have the receipts. Here's my 2023 investigation. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Mother Jones (@motherjones.com):

Today's Supreme Court ruling comes as anti-trans hatred has become inescapable for many families, even in liberal states. These families say they are in survival mode, trying to find ways to protect their children from attacks on all sides.

Mother Jones (@motherjones.com):

The Supreme Court's decision to uphold a Tennessee ban on gender affirming care for minors is a major loss for the transgender community at an extremely vulnerable moment. “Materially and emotionally, for transgender young people and their families, the worst case scenario has already happened.”

Mother Jones (@motherjones.com):

The Supreme Court just green-lit bans on gender-affirming care for minors. “We will find ways to keep fighting,” Chase Strangio vowed. “We’ll fight in state court. We’ll lobby Congress. We’ll lobby our state legislatures, and we’ll organize in the streets." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Mother Jones (@motherjones.com):

Just in: In a major ruling, the Supreme Court upheld a Tennessee law banning transgender kids, but not cisgender kids, from accessing puberty blockers and hormone therapy, regardless of their parents’ support for the treatment.
