Wagner boss Prigozhin claims control of Rostov-on-Don, menaces Moscow

Published Tue, 05 Nov 2024 03:42:50 GMT

Russian warlord Yevgeny Prigozhin claimed early Saturday to have taken control of the strategic southern Russian city of Rostov-on-Don without a fight, as Russian President Vladimir Putin vowed to “neutralize” the threat posed by the renegade Wagner mercenary army.It escalates the stakes in an uprising by Prigozhin’s Wagner group against the military leadership in Moscow and its 16-month-old war on Ukraine.“We are at the staff headquarters, it’s 7:30 in the morning,” Prigozhin said in a video statement posted in his Telegram channel. “Military objects in Rostov are under control, including the aerodrome.”According to reports and social media, Wagner forces met little resistance as they traveled the short distance from the Ukrainian border to Rostov, the operational center for Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine. The thrust transformed Prigozhin’s increasingly furious tirades of the past 24 hours against the Kremlin into stark ac...

‘Rage giving’ prompted by the end of Roe has dropped off, abortion access groups say

Published Tue, 05 Nov 2024 03:42:50 GMT

The ” rage giving ” did not last. Abortion access groups who received a windfall of donations following the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade one year ago say those emergency grants have ended and individual and foundation giving has dropped off. After the Dobbs decision, some major funders of abortion access also have ended or shifted funding from organizations working in states where abortion is now banned, said Naa Amissah-Hammond, senior director of grantmaking with Groundswell Fund, which funds grassroots groups organizing for reproductive justice.Women’s health and foster care nonprofits, who expected increased demand in areas where access to abortion has been eliminated or restricted, say they also haven’t seen increased support.Holly Calvasina said her experience as director of development at the reproductive health clinic CHOICES in Memphis, Tennessee, might provide an explanation.
