All charges against her have been dropped.

41% of the hospital beds here in blue Washington State.
Many people dismissed the announcement Catholic hospitals will ban gender-affirming care nationwide under the assumption that there will be other options. In reality, Catholic hospitals make up as much 46% of options in some states. This map is 2020, prior to Trump’s assault on safety net hospitals.

Another Trek movie project!
With the Paramount regime change, it could be serious this time... Or not 🖖
The good news?
John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein (Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves) will write and direct a movie that is said to be unconnected from anything previously done. 🙏
