Hi there, | It’s Monday. Today we’re talking about North Dakota reinstating its abortion ban, the heartbreaking case of a missing disabled child who was actually in federal custody for 48 days, and Trump’s agencies using “less lethal” weapons to maim protesters with impunity. | We’re also sounding the alarm on shrinking media diversity. As mega-mergers consolidate control over news outlets, the public is losing independent journalism — and with it, many of the watchdog voices needed to hold power accountable. | 🖊️ If you haven’t already, sign our petition demanding regulators and media giants stop the mergers and protect independent journalism. SUBSCRIBE AND JOIN CIVIC SHOUT TO SPEAK OUT ON IMPORTANT ISSUES! | | Read about this, and more, with today’s stories: | Abortion is illegal again in North Dakota after court reverses a judge’s earlier decision (AP) | A disabled child’s mom reported him missing.
