This chart presents US cancer death rates in children under five years old, measured in reported annual death rates per 100,000 children. It consists of four graphs: 1. All Malignant Cancers Combined: This graph, shown in black, illustrates a decline in childhood cancer death rates from about 11 per 100,000 in 1950 to around 1.8 in 2021, indicating a six-fold decrease since the 1950s. 2. Leukemia: This graph shows a decrease from around 5 per 100,000 in 1950 to less than 1 in 2021, following a similar declining trend throughout the decades. 3. Brain and Nervous System Cancers: This chart shows some fluctuations but overall a decline from nearly 0.8 per 100,000 in 1950 to about 0.4 in 2021. 4. Lymphomas and Multiple Myeloma: This graph shows fluctuations and a decline from around 0.8 in the late 1950s to less than 0.2 by 2021. The data is sourced from the WHO Mortality Database (2024), with a note indicating that figures may fluctuate year-by-year due to low numbers.

Childhood cancer deaths in the United States have declined six-fold over the last seventy years

This chart titled "The world has passed 'peak child'" shows the historical and projected population of three age groups: young people under 25 years, young people under 15 years, and children under 5 years. Data spans from 1950 to 2100, based on UN estimates and projections. The blue line represents the population under 25 years, showing steady growth until around 2050 when it starts to slightly decline. The red line represents those under 15 years, peaking around 2020, and then gradually declining after that point. The green line shows children under 5 years, which has largely plateaued since the 1990s and is projected to decrease over time. The chart indicates that the global number of children has reached its peak, and a long-term decline in younger populations is expected.

Poland shows 25 refugees per 1,000, and the Netherlands has 13. France reports 10, the UK shows 6.5, Italy has 5, and the US has the lowest with 1.2. Each country is accompanied by its national flag. The data is sourced from UNHCR for 2024 and can be found at OurWorldInData.org/migration.

Map titled "Which countries met the UN's target of giving 0.7% of national income to foreign aid in 2023?" showing countries in three categories: "No data" (white), "Below the UN target" (tan), and "Meeting the UN target" (blue). Only Sweden is shown in blue, meeting the UN's foreign aid target. Countries such as the United States, Canada, Australia, and various European nations appear in tan, indicating they fall below the target. The map notes that the UN’s 0.7% target is intended for developed countries and references data from the OECD (2024).

I don’t fear a trans woman entering my bathroom, and neither should you. The real threat is a trans woman in the men’s bathroom, where she risks being assaulted.

I don’t want our daughters to be considered property by law, either by their father or husband. That’s not the society I envision.

I worry for future children, as I don’t want them raised in a society where men are seen as superior and women as property. I want a world where they can access free healthcare.

I think everyone is equal. And the fact that THAT has become a radical ideology means I’m not beyond my time enough.

Trump doesn't care if the economy crashes and communities suffer. His goal is to force you and your family to accept a lower standard of living while he and his friends get richer. Cutting support for law enforcement, schools, small businesses and firefighters is chaos by design.
