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.

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!

Too Afraid to Leave Home: ICEβs 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...

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

Anti-Abortion βBounty Hunterβ 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 pplβs licenses? It also allows trans residents sue trans ppl who use public bathroomsβfor money. Texas created this kind of bounty hunter law to punish abortion patients, but you can trace the origins back to βfugitive slaveβ laws, writes

Epstein Files Debate Gets Pedophilia and Power Wrong
βBarely legalβ isnβt a thing. Neither are βunderage women.β
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 ConsequencesβAnd That's Scary
Opinion: Trumpβs attacks on the Obamas reveal what happens when open bigotry no longer disqualifies a presidentβand how that shift could endanger civil-rights protections.
π§΅ 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 isnβt about shock. Itβs about consequences.

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 Donβt 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 problemβand now thereβs a treatment that seems to work. So why donβt more new moms take the PPD pill? Mara Santilli investigates.
