Hcw vs hunger website

It’s the most wonderful time of the year!

Mark your calendars because #HCWvsHunger 2025 starts in just one week…

And if you donated early due to the shutdown keep those receipts because we are going to find a way to count them.

Let’s feed some more people 🍎

So… being more different than chronological age means you’re less healthy?

I have no issue with them getting paid well (assuming the company is doing well under their leadership), but getting the amount that they get is absurd.

See, the issue is that the people making these policies don’t want trans people to exist. Saving their lives is antithetical to their purpose.

Dear Gavin: You are all wrong about trans women athletes - 48 hills I was a competitive college swimmer. There are no 'unfair advantages.' Just look at the numbers.

Great piece by a former women's competitive swimmer.

There are several countries with socialized medicine who provide gender affirming care because it is important healthcare.

My post call treat was a cookout milkshake. I’m shocked I didn’t gain more weight than I did.

Oh, I agree, as someone from a red state where we didn’t close due to the executive order but have had to essentially shut down due to state level changes.

If you’re referring to Denver Health, they’ve resumed care for existing and new patients (but aren’t accepting pts from out of state)

Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared. ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis is the most detailed look yet into a rise in life-threatening complications for women experiencing pregnancy loss under Texas’ abortion ban.

NEW: Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%.

Don’t blame the people providing the care. 99% of the time it’s not them making the decision and there is a lot of fighting going on behind the scenes.

Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes.

You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment.

My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc.

Needed some sort of win today 😊

And Kansas has joined the ranks of states banning gender affirming care for youth. 😔

The average person with the flu gives it to around 1.4 people. The average person with measles gives it to between 12 and 18 people.

813 US billionaires held a record $6.72 trillion in wealth at the end of 2024.

The bottom 50% of Americans held roughly $3.9 trillion in wealth.

When 813 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

The #1 reported reason people avoid doctor’s appointments is because they’re afraid of finding out they have a serious illness.

If you have that fear, that’s normal and you’re not alone. Also remember, there is basically no serious illness that isn’t less serious if you catch it sooner.

This cartoon by @mluckovich.bsky.social is getting banned on Twitter. Because of course it is.

This is the Ben & Jerry’s video that has folks talking and MAGA losing their shit!

We need to support @benandjerrys y’all, because we don’t ever want them to “stick to just the ice cream”. 👀

Missouri's AG Andrew Bailey is suing Starbucks, arguing that its workforce is too "female" and "non-white" and as a result Missouri consumers “pay higher prices and wait longer for goods and services" because its workforce is "less qualified"

This is a brazenly racist and sexist lawsuit.

NIH funding cuts could jeopardize 'life-saving' research in Alabama A federal judge temporarily blocked the changes in 22 states Monday after the states sued the Trump Administration over the funding cuts arguing they would be “devastating.” Alabama is not part of tha...

8 for girls and 9 for boys. After that is normal.

Measles cases are rising in the US as Texas outbreak spreads: Here's what to know Texas state health officials confirmed 24 cases of measles, as New Mexico announced its first case this year in a county on the state border.

Measles cases rising in a Texas County. Measles hospitalizations rising, all in unvaccinated patients. Most are children. There are many things that RFK Jr could do to try to control this outbreak. I suspect he will do none of them.

Anyone have good book recommendations for Stonewall? Looking to horde books before mass bans to keep the history alive.

Drinking age used to be 18, but federal government threatened to withhold funds for roads and other infrastructure from states where the drinking age was less than 21

Because many state funded and CHIP programs use 19 as a cutoff for benefits. This is targeting the money.

Obvi what he’s doing is illegal, but can’t he just get a presidential pardon for all that? The way to hurt him is economically and without Congress standing up to him…
