BREAKING: Florida Supreme Court allows use of gerrymandered map for 2026 Congressional midterms.
This stands to diminish the voices of voters of color, esp. in South Florida.
Flies in the face of voters who approved the Florida Fair Districts, a ban approved by 63% of voters.

The expanded #GlobalGagRule comes from the Project 2025 playbook. This admin wants control, and it's weaponizing U.S. foreign aid to force extreme anti-choice + anti-rights ideologies on communities around the world, pushing governments and orgs to comply or lose U.S. funding.

Yes, I read some history about midwifery & how the men took over but that it is actually safer to have those birthing centers.
Now we have to demand basic healthcare for moms & babies. 💜
