Ever wonder why you have Crohn's Disease? It could be because your ancestors survived the Bubonic Plague in the 14th Century.

New bill targets tenure, calls for scrutiny of research at UNC System campuses, community colleges | NC Newsline
—-
So starting in 2024, faculty at NC schools wouldn’t have protection from the kind of political interference that’s driving this bill? That will do wonders for recruiting. https://ncnewsline.com/2023/04/19/new-bill-targets-tenure-calls-for-scrutiny-of-research-at-unc-system-campuses-community-colleges/

State Sen. Roland Gutierrez, a San Antonio Democrat who has become a fierce champion of the families impacted by the Uvalde school shooting, is "very likely" to run against Republican U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz in 2024.

The win yesterday (the bill to arm teachers was taken off the calendar), was a welcome respite from the Tennessee Republican lawmakers' antidemocratic & pro🔫 agenda, but it was short-lived, as they move to shield gun firms from liability: https://www.truthdig.com/articles/faith-leaders-hold-gun-reform-rally-at-tennessee-capitol/

If your response to a guy shooting a teen in his driveway is to explain how it "could have happened to anyone" you are in fact telling the world a whole lot about how fucking disgusting you really are. That would never happen to me; not only because I'm not a paranoid racist, but also because my response to "unknown car in my driveway" isn't "open fire."
It could not have happened to anyone, it's not the kid's fault, it's not a "random tragedy" either. It's murder. By a racist.

I just used @resistbot to send a very polite and respectful letter to Senator Feinstein to thank her for her long service in the Senate and to make a request of her. If you live in California, consider doing the same.

Rubio is freaking out with his constituents in South FL unable to get gas, and no doubt he is getting an earful from them while Bookseller Ron continues to run around the country and ignore the crisis while he focuses on his own ambition.
Can’t wait for them to deny marriage between a Baptist and a Methodist.
If someone says they’re doing something “for the children,” they’re not. Those who do what they do for the children exemplify that by their actions; they don’t need words.

4. There is also an exception for an abortion that is necessary for the life of the mother.
But in order to invoke that exception, you TWO DOCTORS to certify in writing that it is necessary
In other words, the assumption is that doctors are liars
