The image presents a comparison of the leading causes of death in the United States for 2023 and the media coverage these causes receive from three news outlets: The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Fox News. In the footer, it notes the data sources, indicating that the information is based on media mentions from Media Cloud (2025) and death data from the US CDC (2025) and the Global Terrorism Index, with a clarification that values are normalized to sum to 100%.

Does the news reflect what we die from?

Listening to Utah GOP lawmakers scold us while claiming they avoided partisan data to draw new congressional maps is rich.

Somehow, we are to believe they were unaware of an effort FROM THEIR OWN PARTY to support the map that gave them the biggest electoral edge.

Guess which map they passed. 🤔

South Shore Residents Return To Ransacked Apartments After ICE Raid: 'It Looks Like Hell' A "now renting" sign outside touts granite countertops. Inside, residents are trying to make sense of the raid that made their already neglected building even worse.

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white.

Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace.

That’s not making America great again.

Putting out my reminder that tagging posts appropriately this weekend helps people see what they want to see in their feeds. #ldsconf #genconf #generalconference

The image presents a bar graph illustrating the global population distribution based on the legality of same-sex marriage. The vertical axis represents the number of people, ranging from 0 to 8 billion, while the horizontal axis covers the years from 2000 to 2025. The graph shows two distinct color-coded segments: a large purple area indicating that 6.7 billion people live in countries where same-sex marriage is illegal, and a smaller green area representing 1.5 billion people who reside in countries where same-sex marriage is legal. The graph emphasizes the disparity in populations affected by these legal statuses over time. At the bottom of the image, the data sources are listed as follows: HYDE (2023), Gapminder (2022), and UN WPP (2024). The image is published with a Creative Commons attribution.

1.5 billion people now live in countries where same-sex marriage is legal — but that’s only one in five worldwide.

Kimmel: "This show is not important. What is important is that we get to live in a country that allows us to have a show like this."

Asylum saves lives. No one should be sent back to a place where they are in danger.

Those fleeing war and persecution deserve safety—and when safe options exist, traffickers lose power. #UNGA

NDRC Calls on Utah Legislature to Adopt Fair, Commission-Drawn Congressional Map - National Democratic Redistricting Committee NDRC is building a targeted, state-by-state strategy to ensure Democrats can fight back against gerrymandering and achieve fair maps during the redistricting process.

Utah courts said it loud and clear: redraw the map fairly.

But none of the maps drafted by Republicans follow this directive. Legislators must follow Prop 4 and stop undermining voters. Our full statement: bit.ly/46QvKAf

I think the makers of Tylenol should sue the administration for defamation and due process violations.

Because Tylenol should have been given due process to disprove allegations against it before the government publicly declared it the cause of autism.

But that’s just me.

Rubella infection during pregnancy CAUSES AUTISM. More accurately, it raises the risk of autism. Scientists have learned that there is not one thing that cause autism, but that a combination of multiple genetic and environmental factors is the usual cause.

You wanna know what actually DOES cause autism?

A Population-Based Study of Measles, Mumps, and Rubella Vaccination and Autism | NEJM It has been suggested that vaccination against measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) is a cause of autism. We conducted a retrospective cohort study of all children born in Denmark from January 1991 th...

Many studies have shown that there is no relationship between MMR vaccine and the development of autism. Here are two of the best.

This one followed every single child born in Denmark from 1991 through 1998 (n=537,303). There was no association.

Senate Minority Leader Escamilla says her concern is still they're using only one and "we're picking one that favors the majority."

She also asks why the U.S. Senate isn't included? Sen. Brammer says because it's 6-year terms, it muddies things. #utpol #Utah

Oppose repealing the Roadless Rule! Speak up by September 19 to protect roadless areas on national forests.

Today is the last day to comment!

Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

You’re missing the point. It doesn’t matter what Kimmel said. The federal government threatened ABC to suspend/fire Kimmel or there’d be consequences. It was a direct threat issued yesterday, and it’s on tape. That’s a direct violation of the First Amendment. It’s a direct attack on free speech.

National forest roadless areas provide secure habitat for wildlife and offer excellent recreation opportunities.

Raise your voice by September 19 to keep over 44 million acres of roadless wildlands free from roads, logging, and development!

Mr. President: Operation Warp Speed & the COVID vaccine were a success. As you have stated, they saved “tens of millions of lives.”

Vaccines have also helped eliminate polio, measles and mumps.

Vaccines work. Let us listen to doctors and scientists, not conspiracy theorists.

@who.int is doing all we can to alleviate suffering & evacuate those who need urgent medical care outside Gaza.

The urgent problem we face is that too few countries are willing to receive them.

We call for countries to open their arms to these critically ill patients.

UNHCR: New, deadly floods displace over 100,000 in South Sudan; conflict and funding cuts impede aid | UNHCR South Sudan has been swept into a new cycle of severe flooding, just as renewed conflict threatens a fragile peace, leaving communities in some of the country’s most flood- and conflict-prone states e...

With only a third of required funds received, UNHCR has been forced to scale back.

Without urgent international support, families devastated by conflict and climate shocks will be left without the protection, water and dignity they deserve. www.unhcr.org/news/briefin...

Political violence is bad. It usually begets more political violence.

Celebrating political violence is bad. It usually encourages more political violence, against various targets.

Campus shootings are bad. They make everyone on campus less safe.

It's bad that what I wrote here is controversial.

"[When] the CDC recommended the vaccine for high-risk newborns... The number of perinatal infections stayed stubbornly high.

But hepatitis B infections plummeted after the CDC began recommending a universal dose of hepatitis B vaccine at birth in 1991."

PSA: Please remember to wear a well-fitting mask when you’re at the pharmacy getting vaccinated (or are there for any other reason). I really appreciate anyone taking a step to protect themselves by getting vaccinated, but you put yourself at unnecessary risk if you don’t wear a mask while doing so.

Vaccine hesitancy and trust: How to turn down the temperature in discussions Vaccine advocate Karen Ernst says there’s one key to addressing vaccine hesitancy — and it isn’t arguing.

Supreme Court upholds 'roving patrols' for immigration arrests in Los Angeles The Supreme Court says immigration agents may stop and question people they suspect are here illegally based on little more than working at a car wash, speaking Spanish or having brown skin.

"Half the population” of greater Los Angeles "now meet the government’s criteria for reasonable suspicion," in the wake of today's 6-3 SCOTUS ruling.

What RFK Jr. Is Taking Away From You The problem isn’t just that he’s a quack - it’s that he’s a quack with power over your health, and he’s using that power to hurt you.

Much attention has rightly been paid to the sheer strangeness of RFK Jr.

But as the person now in charge of our public health, what really matters - more than the theatrics or trolling - is what he is taking away from us.

Los Angeles Times Attack on Wilderness Misusing fire science to justfy human manipulation of the landscape

"Ironically, protected landscapes like wilderness and parks tend to burn at less severity than other public and private lands under 'active forest management.'"
