Ever since Roe fell I've been keeping track of stories in the news of women harmed by abortion bans. Going to bring that post over here from the remnants of Twitter and continue.

Pregnant ppl are not safe in blue states when treated at religiously affiliated hospitals with "pro-life" OB/gyns. The doc in this case neglected her duty to her patient, violated the code of ethics and committed malpractice. Luckily this woman didn't die. Absolutely horrifying. #ReproSky #MedSky

Here’s the deal, Mike Johnson, you worked 9 days since July, make $200K, and get best free healthcare we pay for, while shutting down ours.

Want it fair? Start with your paychecks. No work, no pay and no damn free healthcare for any of you. Let Congress feel the pain they dump on the rest of us.

Is it love to force someone to give birth to a fetus that will die? Or to further traumatize a raped child by forcing them to give birth? Is love forcing women to carry pregnancies that threaten their lives?

Exactly what love are you showing women and girls, RTL? #ReproSky

Billboard in Indiana, just outside Kokomo. It shows a picture the silhouette of a pregnant woman with two hearts overriding the silhouette, one for the woman and one for the fetus. The billboard reads “love them both.“ it is sponsored by right to life, Indiana.

A VOTE FOR ME IS A VOTE TO RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES

Tennessee just moved to certify our Dec. 2 election 3 days after polls close — an unprecedented rush that could decide whether the Epstein files are released. I’ll vote to release them... my opponent will not.

Parents will ask "is something going around?" and we would, based on media reports, anecdotal data, and experience would answer "oh yeah, probably something viral".

The CDC produces the NREVSS dashboard which tells us exactly what diseases are "going around".

Is has not been updated for 3 weeks.

A screen shot of the NREVSS dashboard produced by the CDC. It is a plot and line graph showing the detectable respiratory viruses including influenza, RSV, COVID, ets. The last data points are from september 20 and according the the subtext it was last updated 9/26/25.
