At her recent concert in St. Louis, Missouri, Rodrigo made headlines by partnering with Right By You to offer concertgoers free emergency contraceptives, condoms, and information about abortion access from the Missouri Abortion Fund. This bold move underscores Rodrigo's commitment to supporting reproductive health freedom and challenging the stigma surrounding these vital resources that she announced when sharing her Fund4Good initiative a few months ago.

Concerns, speculation, memes, and in-depth research arise as Princess Kate Middleton remains absent from public view following reports of abdominal surgery. What Social Media users immediately identified as heavily edited photos ended up stirring the pot and palace attempts to control the narrative proved to only fuel the internet frenzy.

Some are calling out the hypocrisy of a particular legislator, North Carolina Congressman Jeff Jackson, that gathered an important following by using the app and now voted in favor of the bill. This uncertainty will continue looming over what will be the Senate’s action, as the future of the popular social media platform hangs in the balance.
