Article excerpt with a section of the second paragraph highlighted: State social studies standards for years have included discussion of how white Tulsans murdered as many as 300 Black people. But once the 2021 state law that restricted teaching about race and gender passed, some teachers avoided the topic. The law prohibits teachers from singling out specific racial groups as responsible for past racism. It specifies that individuals of a certain race shouldn’t be portrayed as inherently racist, “whether consciously or unconsciously.” In addition to teachers’ licensure being on the line, repeated failure to comply would allow the state to revoke district accreditation, which could result in a state takeover. When educators questioned how to teach about a race massacre without running afoul of the law, state legislators and the Tulsa County chapter of the conservative parent group Moms for Liberty weighed in to say that white people today shouldn’t feel shame and that the massacre’s perpetrators shouldn’t be cast as racists. A Moms for Liberty chapter representative did not respond to questions from ProPublica.

Changes to Oklahoma’s curriculum rules make it so teachers aren’t supposed to tell students that the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921 — a defining incident of racial violence in Oklahoma history — was perpetrated by racists.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.

I did it because the government isn’t.

This is what I found.

We need to talk about how social media algorithms push moms down a slippery slope of distrust.

From "Are my kids getting enough support in school?" To "Maybe I should homeschool." To "Maybe modern medicine is bad."

I've seen this first-hand in research I'm doing on parenting apps. 1/🧵

Why give the Hep B vaccine at birth?

Because early protection lasts a lifetime. Hep B can cause lifelong liver disease & it’s far easier to prevent than to treat.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

Thanks! Yes, I do think it can make a difference.
But it takes time to change culture and practice. And meanwhile more tragic events unfold.

Pediatrician here. Please, please talk to your healthcare provider to get accurate info. Sadly, every single sentence in this statement is inaccurate & harmful. #medsky

When people start rationing their healthcare bad things happen. Ask anyone who has to pay for insulin. Hell, people already literally die in this country because asthma inhalers still cost $50 with insurance because of corporate price manipulation.

@netflix.com Wow! Netflix managed to make me so upset trying to login that I cancelled the account I’ve had since 2012. I tried to login using my new computer and it gave me an enormously hard time about using my account. All done. I just wanted to watch some TV after a long day.

hi, medical toxicologist that knows a lot about Tylenol here👋 Claiming that tylenol use in pregnancy causes autism is fearmongering

here's what you need to know 🧵

ACOG reaffirms that acetaminophen is safe for managing pain and fever during pregnancy. No reputable studies support suggestions like those in HHS’s recent announcement linking acetaminophen use in pregnancy to autism; in fact, high-quality studies show no such risk. https://bit.ly/47Wxc59

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.

Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.

Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.

But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

Anticipate hypotension in every RSI patient. The literature says that post-intubation hypotension is extremely common, regardless of which medications or dosages you select. In some studies 40% to 50%.

Push dose epi prepped for EVERY RSI. And if at all shocky, start low dose norepi infusion.
