Attention women runners! (You're doing great) I'm looking for anecdotes about a time you were a victim of a crime while running and you reported it to authorities -- particularly if they dismissed you. This is for a story -- please DM for contact information. (and share!) #running #runnerstories

Two babies have died from whooping cough in Kentucky. Neither they nor their parents had been vaccinated.

The current whooping cough outbreak in the U.S. hasn’t grabbed the media spotlight as much as measles has, but it’s important to update your vaccination if you’re going to be around babies.

Unbelievably horrified by this attack in Boulder. We don’t know the full story of the attacker, but no matter what it is, let me be clear: Senseless, antisemitic attacks do not help Palestinians, Jews, or Israelis.

Committing terror attacks against people standing for hostages is disgusting.

Two Israeli Embassy staffers killed in shooting near Jewish Museum in D.C. Israeli officials named the victims as Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim. Police said a suspect, “tentatively identified” as Elias Rodriguez, was in custody.

"The shooting will be investigated as a possible hate crime, Steven J. Jensen, the assistant director in charge of the FBI’s Washington field office, said" ... pretty sure that's a hate crime. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

When we don’t speak up, we all lose out. Everyone should be able to get their yearly Covid shots, just like the flu shots. This is outrageous. Leave your comment.

Thank you for this — where is the information about what they’re trying to do? I just want to read it first so my comments will be appropriate! @meghgrace.bsky.social
