Women have been highlighting equality and equity disparities in healthcare for some time.

Disturbing to see 3 stories in as many days about the continued decline and outright failure of our systems to care for Black women, particularly in maternal healthcare.

Let me guess. His name wasn't mentioned in them?

Trump didn’t need a discharge petition to release the MLK Jr., JFK, or Earhart files.

So why are the Epstein files the one set he refuses to touch?

The Bill has been sent directly to Trump’s desk. Let’s see how this all unravels now. This is the most corrupt administration in US history. Nothing is as it should be and the country is drowning in lies and bullshit.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

Opinion | Jamal Khashoggi: What the Arab world needs most is free expression
The Arab world needs a modern version of the old transnational media so citizens can be informed about global events.

This is exactly as I suspected. It's probable that Lindsey Halligan lied profusely to the grand jury to secure her indictments of Comey and James, and this is now going to come out. I expect this suit to be dismissed, while Halligan will be compelled to fight to keep her law license.

Rachel Fuller Brown (1898–1980) & Elizabeth Lee Hazen (1885–1975) - Pioneers in Medical Mycology and Inventors of Nystatin Rachel Fuller Brown and Elizabeth Lee Hazen were two American scientists whose collaboration led to one of the most important medical discoveries of the 20th century — Nystatin, the first safe and effective antifungal antibiotic. They never worked together in person, but through envelopes of dirt mailed across America, two women discovered a medicine that would save millions. At the time, bacterial infections had penicillin and other antibiotics. But fungal diseases had no safe, effective answer. Systemic fungal infections were often death sentences. Hazen, a microbiologist with the New York State Department of Health, isolated promising soil samples containing microorganisms. She collected soil samples from farmers' fields, backyard gardens, and friends across the country. Brown, a chemist, then purified and analyzed them in her Albany laboratory. In 1950, they discovered microorganism called Streptomyces noursei produced a compound that did exactly what they'd been searching for: it killed fungal cells while leaving human cells unharmed. Their joint efforts produced Nystatin, named after the New York State Department of Health that supported their work. It revolutionized the treatment of fungal infections in humans, animals, and plants. Nystatin became the world's first safe and effective antifungal antibiotic for humans. It cured thrush in infants—a fungal infection that could make babies unable to eat. It treated athlete's foot and ringworm. Most critically, it saved lives by treating systemic fungal infections that had previously been untreatable and often fatal, especially in patients with weakened immune systems. But nystatin's impact extended far beyond human medicine in ways nobody anticipated. Art conservators discovered that nystatin could protect priceless paintings, manuscripts, and historical artifacts from mold damage. Muse…

Anthony @misterysci.bsky... Follow It's amazing once you realize how much of the world we lived in was entirely based on the honor system. It becomes a quite scary thought that one person can really do a lot of damage very quickly with very little effort and that no one did before was just all because they agreed to the honor system.
