BY U.S. REP. SYDNEY KAMLAGER-DOVE (D-CALIF.) | Last month, the Alabama State Supreme Court ruled that frozen embryos are children. The result: In vitro fertilization, or IVF, was paused for women across the state.
Can you imagine the frustration that those women must be feeling? I can.
In Congress, I will continue to fight so that no one else has to go through the devastation that Alabama women are facing right now.

On March 1, the The Star Tribune out of Minneapolis posted a heartfelt and moving op-ed by Dr. Asitha Jayawardena, a proud dad to two young daughters that went viral: “Dear Caitlin Clark … You’re amazing on the court—but that’s just the start of your influence.”

(Brandi Phipps)
BY KIERIA | Front and Center is a groundbreaking Ms. series that offers first-person accounts of Black mothers living in Jackson, Miss., receiving a guaranteed income. First launched in 2018, the Magnolia Mother’s Trust (MMT) is about to enter its fifth cohort, bringing the number of moms served to more than 400 and making it the longest-running guaranteed income program in the country. Across the country, guaranteed income pilots like MMT are finding that recipients are overwhelmingly using their payments for basic needs like groceries, housing and transportation.

On the final episode of United Bodies, we’re talking about accessing joy amidst the deepest of suffering, amidst any circumstance even while staring down our own mortality—because ultimately, that is true freedom. Choosing and experiencing joy can be difficult for so many reasons—be it our knack for comparison or shame, or our resistance or fear of embodiment and presence. Our guest today, poet Andrea Gibson, proves that navigating these forces are worth it to experience the fullness that joy can bring to our lives.
