On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

Drug rehab is cheaper than incarceration

Mental health treatment is cheaper than emergency rooms

After school programs are cheaper than jails

Livable wages are cheaper than the net costs of poverty

It's not about liberal policies or conservative policies it's about smart policies.

Conducted by researchers at the University of California, Davis, this study shines a spotlight on the significant psychological distress reported by nearly half of surveyed middle and high school students and elucidates the contrasting inadequacies in healthcare professionals’ responses to this vulnerable group.

Conservatives have much better self-reported mental health but if you ask about “mood” instead the gap vanishes which raises the question of whether we’re just seeing a gap in comfort with mental health talk.

“Mental health” differences disappear when you ask about “mood” bc conservatives don’t want to use the words “mental health.”

ACOG reaffirms that acetaminophen is safe for managing pain and fever during pregnancy. No reputable studies support suggestions like those in HHS’s recent announcement linking acetaminophen use in pregnancy to autism; in fact, high-quality studies show no such risk. https://bit.ly/47Wxc59
