91 million deaths were prevented from 2001 to 2021.
14 million will die by 2030—including 4.5 million children under five.

The Supreme Court has ruled to allow parents to opt out of school curriculum that includes LGBTQ themes in a decision that ACLU lawyer Chase Strangio says casts queer and trans people and families as an "ideology" rather than a community.

Get used to these kinds of tragedies. Recklessness doesn’t discriminate. The absurdity is deadly.

It’s interesting seeing the response to Luigi’s arrest. Not the profile of a killer. Folks are both sympathetic and dumbfounded by his elitist upbringing. Some are smitten by his looks. The healthcare industry sucks. I lowkey wanted him to get away before I knew his profile. It all sucks.

One of the things which struck me in Skirmetti oral arguments last week was just how successful anti-trans pseudoscience has been in establishing itself as conventional wisdom amongst the nation’s highest office holders. Thanks @aymanmsnbc.bsky.social for having me on.
"We heard essentially anti-trans pseudoscience be parroted by a series of justices as a potential justification for upholding the ruling by the 6th Circuit."
@imarajones.bsky.social on the rhetoric coming from the Supreme Court justices overseeing a major transgender rights case.

“70% of the illegal weapons seized from criminals in Mexico come from your country. We do not produce these weapons, nor do we consume synthetic drugs. Tragically, it is in our country that lives are lost to the violence resulting from meeting the drug demand in yours.” - President Claudia Sheinbaum
