No, I am not worried about 'declining' birth rates, I accept them as post-modern birth rates, the birth rates that naturally happen once the conditions are set that children can be expected to survive to adulthood reliably and that women are allowed to be educated and become full citizens.
The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled.
A truly extraordinary moment.
We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.
Act like it.
Amazing news that 91.4% of people enrolled in Ryan White have suppressed viral loads.
RW is the gov't program for people living w/ HIV who are uninsured/underinsured. It funds CBOs to provide wrap-around services.
This number is the result of yrs of activism, organizing, & community-led care.

The rate of sepsis in Houston surged 63% after Texas banned abortion.

Acetaminophen remains one of the few safe and effective options for managing fever and pain during pregnancy.
As physicians, we have a responsibility to provide evidence-based, compassionate care — and that means using safe medications when indicated.

The US president trafficked & raped underage girls, the evidence is overwhelming, everyone knows it, and this country's elites & institutions are so broken, so insular, so decadent that we can't even bring ourselves to state it clearly, much less do anything about it.
Contemptible & pathetic.

Since abortion bans were passed pregnant women have been denied necessary care until they are on the brink of death, with some women dying due to delayed care.

This is a travesty & a nightmare. The US was a founder of @gavi.org. It lowers global vaccine costs, has vaccinated 1B children, & averted 19M deaths. This pull out will cost 100s of thousands of children's lives a year - and RFK Jr will be personally responsible.

Limiting access to medication abortion threatens reproductive freedom and puts women in harm’s way.
That’s why I’m co-leading a petition urging FDA to expand access to mifepristone.
Make no mistake: I’ll fight any attempt to deny access to this essential medication.
remember this morning? that was one month ago
Fitting for today’s cat fight.
Abortion is completely banned in Alabama.
But people are still getting out.
Still finding care.
Still fighting.
We help them travel to clinics in Georgia and beyond.

Cuts have consequences, illustrated. As seen on TV 📺
Aside from cutting health care for the elderly & poor, the Republican budget steers $160 BILLION to enrich private prisons + quadruple the size of Trump’s American Gestapo ICE — while making them immune from prosecution.
TLDR: You are not alarmed enough.

Russia has kidnapped a bunch of Ukrainian children and transferred them to Russian families and denationalized them with the intent of destroying in part or in whole a group based on their nationality.
