Interestingly, in Loper Bright vs Raimondo, the conservative majority on SCOTUS ruled just last year that the judiciary can in fact overrule regulatory decisions made by the executive branch especially when those decisions are not specified by Congress.

My comprehensive exam was about maternal mortality & morbidity in people with intellectual disabilities.
It DOES get worse, and in no universe should that be a competition.

This is a rather telling statement. Nearly a third of women in Louisiana are Black. www.businessinsider.com/gop-senator-...
Maternal death rate isn't as bad if you don't count Black women, GOP senator says
Louisiana's Bill Cassidy said the state's maternal death rate isn't so high if you "correct our population for race," Politico reported.

We’re officially in full airport mode all the time now: everything is crazy expensive, sweatpants are acceptable at all times, nobody’s judging anyone for drinking more than they usually do, and we’re all just out here buying books and coffee to deal with the stress

From 1 Sept. 1939-late Aug. 1941, the Nazi regime murdered 70,273 people with intellectual & developmental disabilities. The legal order, T4, was stopped only through deliberate, open defiance of reporting as required by law from midwives, nurses, docs, & mothers.

Several Kentucky bills filed this legislative session have one thing in common: a shared skepticism of guidance from top U.S. health organizations and leading medical groups.

In the Louisville metro area, one of our school districts has shifted to NTI for the next three days because of a “widespread severe respiratory illness.”
Golly, if only there were some kind of international health agency that could coordinate monitoring and testing efforts…

A big misconception about Greenland is that since it’s labeled a Danish colony, its residents are just a bunch of white dudes named Kristian—which is extremely harmful and inaccurate.
The population is 85% Indigenous! It belongs to the Kalaallit people, not to Denmark and CERTAINLY not to the U.S.

🐕🦺 Oliver is an almost-8-year-old Black Lab. He’s a service dog “failure” because he doesn’t have ‘intelligent disobedience,’—he would walk into traffic if you told him to (not a great quality in a guide dog for visual impairments, which is what he was trained for.)
