“I remain hopeful, partially as defiance.They would like us to feel hopeless, to surrender.”

A heartening listen on a Saturday morning.

Indiana's Religious Right to Abortion Wins in Court (Updated) Judge recognizes Jewish pro-abortion religious beliefs.

Evangelical Christians aren't the only people whose faith-based views of abortion matter, ruled an Indiana judge who just blocked the state's abortion ban citing Jewish religious freedom.

Someone had to say it!

RNG has tracked this case as it moved through the courts. Our updated story here.

Carpenter; track coach. And what about our grandmothers? Mine were a math teacher and secretary.

Trump’s Attempt to End Congestion Pricing Is Shot Down The toll and its myriad benefits will remain in place, per a federal judge’s ruling.

The modest first U.S. experiment in something other countries have been doing successfully for decades in various ways on various continents and it’s no big deal can stay

Lander calls for stacking the Court.

My good friend works there! And she has stellar taste 📚

I used Google Translate heavily in a past job requiring me to scour newspapers worldwide. I could hear what Pakistani bloggers had to say about India and browse Egyptian culture pages. A miracle! But it also called Nicolas Maduro "Nicolas Plantain" and misgendered world leaders. WE NEED HUMANS TOO!

Coalition – not consolidation – is the key to independent media’s survival "We should remove the stigma that republishing each other's work dilutes our own."

Too Afraid to Leave Home: ICE’s Toll on Latino HIV Care Operation Metro Surge is leading some Latinos to delay or cancel HIV prevention or treatment appointments.

#HIV is preventable. #HIV is treatable. But federal immigration enforcement, on top of 15 months of escalating threats to HIV research, prevention, and treatment funding puts the gains of the last few decades at risk, experts told us. rewirenewsgroup.com/2026/03/03/i...

Too Afraid to Leave Home: ICE’s Toll on Latino HIV Care Operation Metro Surge is leading some Latinos to delay or cancel HIV prevention or treatment appointments.

Did you know Latino men have the US’s highest risk of new HIV infections? They are 72% more likely to be diagnosed than the general population—and in Minneapolis, they are skipping clinic visits for fear of ICE, report @cameronoakes.bsky.social & @unclosetedmedia.bsky.social

Omg it’s Monday point made I think

There are many days where I’m relieved I’m not an intl editor anymore & almost as many where it feels hard to have spent a decade covering the world—from Iran to Venezuela—and then do/say nothing when the US attacks those nations.

This week has already had 10 of those days and it’s only Tuesday.

Anti-Abortion ‘Bounty Hunter’ Laws Spread from Texas Across U.S. Analysis: Several GOP towns and states now allow residents to sue each other for getting abortion care. The reward: money. In February, Kansas passed a similarly designed trans bathroom ban.

That Kansas law invalidating trans ppl’s licenses? It also allows trans residents sue trans ppl who use public bathrooms—for money. Texas created this kind of bounty hunter law to punish abortion patients, but you can trace the origins back to “fugitive slave” laws, writes

Brooklyn Public Library ends passport services after State Department order • Brooklyn Paper Last fall, the U.S. Department of State sent cease-and-desist letters to hundreds of nonprofit libraries across the country, telling them they were no longer

Ask yourself: Who wins by making it harder for people to get a photo ID, and why.

Surprised and delighted to find Cher in the running for this week's main character

Epstein Files Debate Gets Pedophilia and Power Wrong ‘Barely legal’ isn’t a thing. Neither are ‘underage women.’

There's no such thing as 'barely legal,' explains Martha Kempner in this week's column for @rewirenewsgroup.com, and parsing the meaning of pedophilia ignores the main issue here, which is power.

How Minneapolis Fought ICE With Dildos A sex toy has become a symbol of resistance in Minnesota and beyond.

Yes, that's a dildo helmet. No, it's not the only way anti-ICE protesters used this sex toy at recent protests in Minneapolis; things got a lot spicier than that. Read @hallielieberman.bsky.social report to find out how and why one dildo distributor sees them as "kryptonite to these fascists."

Trump's Racism Carries No Consequences—And That's Scary Opinion: Trump’s attacks on the Obamas reveal what happens when open bigotry no longer disqualifies a president—and how that shift could endanger civil-rights protections.

🧵 Trump posted a video depicting the Obamas as apes. He deleted it. A handful of Republicans objected. Most said nothing. Nothing changed.

My most recent column isn’t about shock. It’s about consequences.

The ongoing snow is a bad, even cruel joke and I'm ready for this particular comedy set to end.

Quick correction here. Zurzurvae is the first pill specifically designed for PPD--not the first medication, which was a 60-hour IV injection approved in 2019 and withdrawn from the market a few years later. The dek of this story has been corrected for accuracy.

Computer screen showing slide reading 'Problems scream, solutions whisper'

Just yesterday, RNG newsroom was fortunate to get a solutions journalism training from @soljourno.bsky.social member Chibuike Alagboso, who showed us this slide. The timing is coincidence, but I think this story by @maracsantilli.bsky.social is a solid example of this important, rigorous practice.

This Pill Treats Postpartum Depression. So Why Don’t More People Take It? Some 500,000 new parents are diagnosed with PPD each year. Far fewer take Zurzurvae, the first drug specifically designed to treat the condition, three years after its approval.

Journalism tends to focus on the problems, not the solutions. If it bleeds, it leads.

Today @rewirenewsgroup.com is flipping the script. Postpartum depression is a big problem—and now there’s a treatment that seems to work. So why don’t more new moms take the PPD pill? Mara Santilli investigates.

I am on snow strike

I also got one of these in Mexico two weeks ago about an earthquake 1,000 miles away. A bit much!

Srsly! A bit much

Would also vote to abolish cartel hitmen, FWIW

I am lowkey in denial about NYC schools being closed tomorrow after they were already closed last week for Feb break.

Denial = 2nd glass of red wine

Much improved

In constitutionally and culturally secularly Uruguay, they still take Semana Santa (holy week) off—but they call it Semana de Turismo or Semana de la Cerveza 🍻

Fantastic
