A cautionary tale of untreated pregnancy-induced diabetes.
What I love about that six word Hemingway story, "For sale: baby shoes, never worn" is that in those few words we instantly grasp the sadness of what it is trying to tell us: the baby was so freakishly massive when it was born that it could never wear the shoes its parents had bought for it.

If you didn't know, @marcelias.bsky.social has been on the front lines of protecting elections since Trump I (at least). If you, too, want to protect elections, subscribe to Democracy Docket if you can to help keep elections free and fair.
If you hear someone saying that they hope lawyers are ready to go to court to protect free and fair elections, I suggest you let them know that my law firm is already litigating more than 80 voting and election cases in 40 states.

The #Olympics are ditching #PFAS waxes — and the ‘ridiculous’ speed they gave skiers

After years of concern over so-called “fluoro” waxes, the Milan Cortina Games will be the first Olympics without them.

A key source of speed is gone, as concerns over toxic “forever chemicals” reshape Olympic skiing and the science behind winning on snow.

I have been informed by U.S. Rep. Veronica Escobar and confirmed by the City of El Paso, Texas that there are two known active cases of tuberculosis registered at Camp East Montana. There are also at least 18 cases of COVID-19.

I had been hearing rumors of this from my contacts for weeks.

It is devastating to see the aftermath of russian terrorist attacks.

But these images speak louder than words about what russia is doing to innocent people.

Don’t look away, speak out about war crimes, and help prevent them if you can:

The president had his DOJ raid an election office and prosecute political opponents while he threatens to take over elections, Sadly, this is treated by legacy media as just another normal day.

The correct response to news that GOP may try to deploy troops or paramilitary forces to polling places is to mark voting day on your calendar now, double check your registration, and make a plan to get yourself and as many of your neighbors as possible registered to vote and to the polls.

One of the most important things to happen since Jan 20, 2025, is that The People have moved beyond just pointing to the lawlessness of the regime and are absolutely hammering on the IMMORALITY of the regime. It's not just about policy and law, it's about human decency and right over wrong.
