If you've spent any time in the reproductive justice space (going on like 20+yrs now and I was a feisty teen about abortion rights before then) you definitely feel like Cassandra like 1000000% of the time.

When Trump first chose "America First" as his slogan American Historians were like "um, yeah, that seems kinda bad." Now that he's moved on to praising "the late great Charles Lindbergh" I think we can dispense with the qualifications.

This graph is astonishing. The people that bang on about “natural birth” and “women have been doing this forever without help” need to be forced to stare at this until their eyes water.

Graph of maternal mortality rate against year for the UK. Rate bounces until and down around 500 deaths per 100,000 births until about 1940, when it falls sharply. It’s been very low (~1–3 per 100,000) ever since.

Also this correction isn't even correct. It wasn't just that they were "aware" that the quote was from Hitler, they quite publicly *cited* the quote as coming from Hitler. To first claim this was a cutesy accidental move, and then just claim they were "aware" is journalistic malpractice.

I’m begging you to start masking in public if you haven’t been. As this article discusses, no one has long lasting immunity to what’s circulating. This isn’t sustainable if you want to live and be able to work for another 10-30 years. And it is not fair to kids. www.latimes.com/california/s...

An even more contagious COVID strain is ‘just getting started’ amid California wave
An even more contagious COVID strain is ‘just getting started’ amid California wave

Doctors and scientists are keeping an eye on yet another coronavirus subvariant — XEC — that could surpass the latest hyperinfectious strain.

Actually — and maybe this reporter isn’t aware — one of the political parties tried a coup last election and it wasn’t the Democrats

I know it’s not a secret but the way American broadcast media handles Trump versus how they handle Harris is a reprise of the horrible dynamics of 2016 (gloss over the horrible things Trump does, magnify the minor flaws of his opponent), so we have learned nothing.

like many, i was a little flummoxed by how 2016 went down: had hillary clinton positioned herself to be especially vulnerable, did the media just REALLY care about email security? but what happened over the following 8 years lead me to the truth. The media likes Republicans and wants them to win.

Walz did a good job responding. Differences in the specifics of one's fertility treatment are kind of overshadowed by the fact that one party wants women to have reproductive rights and the other doesn't.
