Three ER visits. 20 hours of suffering. Two ultrasounds to prove a fetus had died. Nevaeh Crain was 18. Texas law killed her. Abortion bans chilled doctors into inaction. Now she’s gone.

NEW: Minnesota’s graduation rate just reached the highest level on record.
Two years ago, we made the single-largest investment in public schools in state history.
Today, we’re seeing the results.
Breast cancer diagnoses rose by over 300% between 1973 and 1992.
Was there a breast cancer epidemic?!
NO.
Mammograms were implemented for screening in 1976.
PREVALENCE is a function of being able to correctly diagnose something.
This is also about autism.

Earth Day is a reminder that we only have one planet. Sometimes, it takes seeing Earth from space to truly grasp how precious it is. 🧵⬇️ (1/4)

The NIH is also now in talks with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to broaden agreements governing access to their data, Bhattacharya said. In addition, a new disease registry is being launched to track Americans with autism, which will be integrated into the data. Between 10 and 20 outside groups of researchers will be given grant funding and access to the records to produce Kennedy's autism studies. Bhattacharya did not give details on how they would be chosen, but said their selection would be "run through normal NIH processes."
Gun registry? No. Autism registry? Yes?
Fuck ALL the way off.
My first apartment in 1994 was $350/month. Adjusting for inflation, that apartment should now rent for $744/month.
It actually rents for $1500. Greed and inflation are hurting the kids, not their Starbucks lattes.

If food goes up by 20%, it is a tax on the poor. Rich people won't even notice.
Good question. Why DOES Pete Hegseth have a Russian phone number? 🤨

Elon’s dark money backs a far-right extremist who threatens reproductive freedom and democracy. Judge Susan Crawford defends abortion rights, fair elections, and equal justice.
She’s the real deal.
Let’s keep Wisconsin’s court independent. #Wisconsin

Elon Musk is so desperate to control Wisconsin’s Supreme Court, he’s funding fake ads pretending to support Judge Susan Crawford — just to turn voters against her with phony “progressive” messages filled with misleading lies.
Don’t fall for it.

He told 33,000+ lies in his first term.
Since math is not my strongest subject, can someone more capable please figure how many lies-per-day that averages?

There's a reason why they're freaking out over what's happening to Tesla.
It's working.
There's a reason they're threatening absurd consequences.
They need to scare you back into civility and compliance.
As long as we're reluctant to cross the lines they ignore daily, they have the upper hand.
