The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, along with Florida state health officials, are investigating what is believed to be a case of monkeypox. A statement from the Florida Department of Health in Broward County stated the “case is related to international travel, and the person remains isolated.”

Late Friday a New York City resident also tested positive for the virus that causes monkeypox, and is the state’s first confirmed case. On Sunday, President Joe Biden made his first public statements about the outbreaks, saying the recent spread of monkeypox in at least 12 countries are “something that everybody should be concerned about.”

Axios reports a person was confirmed positive with the virus in Massachusetts, New York and “roughly a half dozen other cases” are “being monitored by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.”

Pro-Abortion Group Plans ‘Night of Rage: An Autonomous Call to Action Against Patriarchal Supremacy’

Over 100 Republican representatives have signed a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland asking the Department of Justice to investigate a pro-abortion group. The group, ‘Jane’s Revenge’ is planning a “Night of Rage” to coincide with an upcoming Supreme Court decision that impacts Roe v. Wade.

“Night of Rage: An Autonomous Call to Action Against Patriarchal Supremacy” is the group’s manifesto for those who are outraged by the states’ increasing abortion restrictions and potential reversal of Roe v. Wade.

The group has already taken credit for domestic terror attacks against pro-life pregnancy centers across the country. Breitbart News printed excerpts from the manifesto which is a call for pro-abortion activists and “cis males allies” to action:

This is an event that should inspire rage in millions of people who can get pregnant…and yet, the response thus far has been tepid.

We have agonized over this apparent absence of indignation. Why is it that we are so afraid to unleash hell upon those who are destroying us? Fear of state repression is valid, but this goes deeper than that.

Whatever form your fury takes, the first step is feeling it.

The next step is carrying that anger out into the world and expressing it physically.

Consider this your call to action.

On the night the final ruling is issued——a specific date we cannot yet predict, but we know is arriving imminently——we are asking for courageous hearts to come out after dark.

Whoever you are and wherever you are, we are asking for you to do what you can to make your anger known.

We have selected a time of 8 pm for actions nationwide to begin, but know that this is a general guideline. There may be other considerations involved in planning time and place. We do not claim to speak for every community or crew. We are simply calling out to you. And we hope you answer our cries.

In conclusion the manifesto says that any support, including from “cis males allies,” is welcome “but Do not police us. Do not tell us what is and isn’t appropriate.” And finally, the groups ends with a good old fashioned threat: “To those who work to oppress us: If abortion isn’t safe, you aren’t either. we are everywhere.”
