Tens of thousands celebrated Budapest Pride, the first since Viktor Orbán’s ousting.

Goooooool Ecuador

“The first 7.2-magnitude earthquake was followed less than a minute later by a 7.5-magnitude earthquake.” Cannot imagine the terror.

My Brad Lander story is that I ran into the guy at a bar once, struck up a conversation, and he was exactly as wonky, capable, and amiable in person as he seems.

Denver people and Coloradans! This event is going to be absurd and delightful. We're talking beer, face painters, live performances, sexperts, and more. And it's all for a good cause: reproductive justice journalism. See you at Rewire's Repro Fundrager on July 22?

Quite unexpectedly, I find myself in an Uzbekh-owned coffeeshop during the Uzbekistan-Portugal match. They pulled out the big screen! The owners and the laptop bound clientele are bringing...let's just say *different* levels of enthusiasm to the game.

In Dec 2025, Rachel Rebouche looked ahead to the threats facing abortion access this year. Now, halfway through 2026, I asked her to check in--and, folks, I'm sorry to say she was prescient. Every challenge to mifepristone access she ID'd last year is moving forward. Here's the lay of the land.

I mean, Messi, he's just...GOAT

Breaking News: Abelardo De La Espriella, a right-wing outsider backed by President Trump, appears headed for a narrow win in Colombia’s presidential race. His victory would return Colombia to conservative rule after four years under Gustavo Petro, the country’s first leftist president.

Has this ever happened before in World Cup history?

Missouri comes one step closer to having actual abortion access, and not just in law. Voters chose to constitutionally enshrine abortion protections in 2024, but in practice a slew of anti-abortion regulations and restrictions have limited access.

I hate the hydration break

Your reminder that fairy tales are full of stepmothers because women once routinely died in childbirth, from postpartum sepsis, or from other infectious diseases and left behind housefuls of motherless children. Stable nuclear families are made possible by vaccines, antibiotics, and safe abortions.

In Peru the Fujimori era is not over: It is about to begin (again).

My delight at the Knicks championship win does not come even close to me wanting to be cheek-to-jowel with millions of screaming fans for the ticker tape parade. May this poor journalist, who presumably had no choice, make it out unscathed!

News: The Onion is launching the new Infowars July 2. After years of legal wrangling and months of maneuvering by Alex Jones's lawyers to block its takeover, the Sandy Hook families are finally getting their first check... from The Onion. www.ms.now/news/onion-s...

Her disappointment will be of marvelous comfort to the people now carrying forced pregnancies and to the families of the women who've died from pregnancy complications that could have been treated with timely abortion care.

Every time I bring up “Small Wonder” people look at me like I have two heads. YES there was a tv show about a robot child maid.

Hey siri, have any other famous treaties been signed at Versailles?

Yup 👇

Whoa- Algeria!

Norway seems like a lovely place with lovely people, but who’s not rooting for Iraq here?

More specifics on what we cover and what our editors are looking for 👇

🚨Pitch call-out!🚨 @rewirenewsgroup.com covers reproductive justice & we want your timely story ideas. I’m esp keen on: medication abortion (law or public health); fallout of Medicaid cuts for BIPOC kids & families; pop culture, climate/disasters & RJ. Bonus pts for World Cup-RJ ideas. Pitch here:

NEW: The human costs of reproductive injustice are well documented--now the economic costs are becoming clear. By kicking women out of the workforce, abortion bans are hurting the U.S. economy to the tune of $140 billion.

So many Brazilians in Brooklyn today. We love to see it!

Well this game is getting a lot more exciting in the second half

Knicks in five baby

Reup!

Now THaT was a goal

The best part about Marco Rubio’s appearance is that my commentators went: “There’s Infantino, the president of fifa, sitting next to the president of Paraguay. And that looks like..it may be the Secretary of State on his other side.” 💀

Can you guess who I’m rooting for tonight?

Paraguay: a thread. In honor of tonight’s US-Paraguay game, I am sharing some of the Paraguay stories I assigned & edited over the years. @joelabrams.com & I both had a fondness for this landlocked nation and a goal of covering the whole world, esp the other outlets ignored. Primero, el mate.

I will never stop being giddy over graphic designer Cage Rivera's creative, censor-busting art for RNG's Friday sex-health columns. Not to mention @cuteflesh.bsky.social's deft, shame-free handling of tricky topics. Some synonyms deployed here: -trouser tent -captain's salute -flag at half mast

Just what the world needed!

Vamos, Mexico!

"No voy a ir a ningún partido, ni al inaugural ni a ningún otro." 👀

🚨Cool journalism job alert!🚨 Rewire News Group is hiring an audience and marketing specialist to support our newsroom in reaching readers on social media and beyond. Writing and video skills a must!

The Supreme Court will drop some of its most consequential rulings in the coming weeks. @angryblacklady.blacksky.app has a reminder: The future of the 14th Amendment, which grants citizenship to “all persons born or naturalized in the U.S., and subject to the jurisdiction thereof" is at stake.

Hell of a graph

Former Seretary of the Interior Deb Haaland just won the Dem primary for governor of New Mexico. She will be running in November to replace Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, who is term-limited out.

Eagle-eyed editor @natasharoy.bsky.social snagged this breaking news for today's Repro Roundup: The FDA is beginning its "safety review" of abortion drug mifepristone--a win for anti-abortion activists who are unhappy with telehealth abortion care & want more restrictions on prescribing the pill.

I'm so glad Amanda & Ana Clara came to Rewire with this story. As in the US, teen pregnancy is WAY down in Brazil. And just as in the US, conservatives aren't celebrating. Why? Because this change happened with the rollout of universal, free birth control--incl for postpartum girls as young as 10.

I don’t appreciate what’s happening to the venerable institution of “60 Minutes,” but I do relish the quotes.

A delightful read about reading—and community

Another one bites the dust (and yes, that's an oblique reference to the Queen-Vanilla ICE plagiarism scandal of the era, and by proxy the Milli Vanilli lip-synching scandal, bc PEOPLE, I REMEMBER IT ALL)

Apparently, there's a now measles outbreak in central Virginia, and not a miniscule one either. This comes via the daughter of my own childhood pediatrician, who is herself now a pediatrician in Charlottesville

Are you a New Mexico freelancer who covers childcare, or do you know an ace reporter who does? HMU, please!

An election to watch
