Elie Wiesel, author of Night and a Holocaust survivor, spoke to us on my first day at Centre College.
His words will forever resonate with me, particularly now.
"We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.”

33% increase in Texas maternal mortality.
Holy shit.

Dozens more pregnant and postpartum women have died in Texas hospitals since the state banned abortion, our analysis shows.

Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared.

Not surprisingly, living alone and having depression put PLWD at even higher risk of loneliness.
Loneliness also predicted conversion from MCI to dementia.
