Mife by mail is still available in all 50 states—pass it on. We just heard from SCOTUS that they are going to continue to allow providers to prescribe mifepristone through the mail–at least until this case has gone through appeal.

In the upper right corners is a grainy black dotted circle and same in the lower left. At the top, in bold black is "Breaking news:" It continues in purple, "Mife is still available through the mail and telehealth in all 50 states. Today, the US Supreme Court granted the stay until the appeal in the Fifth Circuit is resolved." Below in huge, black text is "What you need to know." Behind that is a picture of a mifepristone pill.

I am outraged that a swastika flag was raised overlooking Washington Square Park.
This hateful antisemitic act was meant to spread fear among and intimidate Jewish New Yorkers. It has no place in our city.
Our administration is committed to fighting antisemitism in all its forms and protecting the safety of Jewish New Yorkers.
The NYPD Hate Crime Task Force is investigating this despicable act, and l am confident those responsible will be held accountable.

I want to highlight this detail from our story: We at @autonomynews.co are first to report that, when the Fifth Circuit's decision was briefly in effect earlier this month, abortion providers in some states were advised not to even prescribe mifepristone in person.
However, while the Fifth Circuit’s order was briefly in effect from the evening of May 1 until the morning of May 4, multiple sources told Autonomy News that abortion providers in some states were advised not to prescribe mifepristone in person, either. This concern arose because of the fact that, in certain restrictive states, clinicians could have been accused of prescribing “misbranded” drugs if they gave patients mifepristone even in person for abortion or miscarriage, because the actual label and drug information would have been out of step with the restrictions imposed by the Fifth Circuit.

Middle East ceasefire in serious doubt as Israel assaults Lebanon and Iran blocks oil tankers
Inclusion of Lebanon is significant difference in interpretation of truce agreed at 11th hour on Tuesday * Middle East crisis – live updates The fate of the two-week ceasefire in the Iran conflict looked uncertain on Wednesday as both sides gave divergent versions of what had been agreed, Israel intensified its bombing campaign in Lebanon and Iran halted the passage of oil tankers because of an Israeli ceasefire “breach”. Iran and Pakistan, which brokered the 11th-hour truce, both asserted that the ceasefire included Lebanon. Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, disagreed and Israeli forces unleashed their heaviest attack of the war so far on more than 100 targets in Beirut and across the country.

The United States is purposefully blockading Cuba from accessing fuel that powers everything from grocery stores to hospitals. People will die. Children will die. What's being done to the people of Cuba is monstrous. The people in power were ok with it in Gaza and now they're doing it to Cuba.
​A screenshot of a post from the account Acyn featuring a video of Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC). The text of the post quotes AOC speaking about the humanitarian crisis in Cuba, drawing parallels to Gaza.
​She describes a "new era of depravity" where innocent civilians are starved or deprived because their political regimes are found "objectionable." She emphasizes the need to defend human rights, mentioning the risk of hospitals running out of fuel and children being put in harm's way. The video thumbnail shows AOC walking through a hallway while being interviewed by a reporter holding a microphone.
​Would you like me to help you draft more QRTs based on these specific images or provide a deeper summary of the AOC video?
