A Yukon woman says she faced high costs, difficulty accessing services and frustrating interactions with health-care workers when she tried

A Yukon woman is raising the alarm about the cost and difficulty of accessing abortion medication in the territory. Jane Doe says she had to seek an abortion through the emergency room, because the Opal clinic — the territory's only dedicated abortion services provider — is only open one day a week, for four hours. Jane Doe is a pseudonym. CBC is not disclosing her identity for personal safety reasons.

So I hear some jackasses are now claiming Israel is a US colony...

Historically false- Israel and the formation of Israel predate the close US alliance with Israel, and emigres to Israel did not come primarily from the US, nor is Israel controlled by the US government (I thought these fuckwits claimed it was the other way around? Not that bigotry is ever consistent or accurate). Way to centre America in everything.

It's racist denial of the origins of all the non-Americans who went to Israel- see above re centring America in everything. It's also antisemitic denial of Jews' right to self-determination in their homeland. But I know you don't care about that.

You know what actually ARE US colonies? The territories. You can certainly argue that the whole US is, or rather it's a bunch of British colonies that broke off and became a national and continued colonizing, but I particularly want to talk about the territories, because they're the closest thing to "old school" colonial empires that the modern US has. Can you even name them all? I can: Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the US Virgin Islands. All pieces of land run by the United States, far outside the continental US, populated by mostly non-white people and, very importantly, with no vote for President or representation in Congress. So, where are the constant protests demanding their liberation? Where is the global outcry "Samoa will be free"? Oh, right- they're not run by Jews.

Territories! Plus the human map, as well :)

I know the compass is sideways, but I made it that way for a reason. The sun rises in the West and sets in the East, right? I figure the sun plays a big art in Stoneclan's adoration of the sky (and stars!), so it makes sense that it would rise from the very place the stars do!
