ā€œBabies too young to be vaccinated had the highest COVID hospitalization rate of any age group except people over 75.ā€ And almost 90% of those babies had mothers who didnā€™t get the vaccine while pregnant. ā€œItā€™s not as bad for kidsā€ is such a delusion. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

After the 1st year of zero fare transit Albuquerque found it cheaper than enforcing fares. Unlike our experiments w UBI and guaranteed housing people actually learned from this lesson. The busses are still beautifully free!

Scotland now requires 'buffer zones' around abortion services - well done to the local campaigners 'Back Off Scotland' and others who have pushed for this, and to Gillian Mackay for responding and making it a reality

Abortion protests near clinics banned as buffer zones law goes live

New legislation prevents anti-abortion protesters from gathering within 200m (656ft) of clinics.

super crazy that the ā€œstatesā€™ rightsā€ approach to bodily autonomy just so happens to make black women extra vulnerable to the charge that their body is inherently criminal and must be controlled by the violent arm of the state.
