He needed air. The price was $539. When OptumRx dropped coverage of his $66 inhaler, Cole couldn’t afford the new price. 5 days later, he died from a severe asthma attack—with no inhaler. He paid with his life. www.nbcnews.com/nightly-news... #MedSky #SciSky #PedsSky #PulmSky

My plea to parents is to take your children to libraries as much as your complicated parenting schedule can possibly allow. Help your children understand that this resource belongs to them and to the community, and that anyone attempting to take it away is stealing from them.

St. Louis residents are reporting instances of brick theft from homes damaged by the tornado. #STL bricks aren't prized just for their market value — they symbolize a bond of people to place. “We can keep this wealth in the community and rebuild with our own native building material." Learn more:

The Trump administration is working with private companies like Palantir to create detailed reports on every American, which could help them weaponize our personal information in their quest to deport immigrants and punish critics. This is a huge threat to our constitutional rights.

I can’t emphasize the points of this article enough. From watching the city’s tornado response, it really seems we didn’t have a response plan (and still don’t) and without activist orgs we’d have been total lost. It troubles me to see the lack of organization 10+ days later.

The people of Missouri made it very clear: They wanted abortion rights (at least until fetal viability). Alas, the Missouri Supreme Court doesn’t seem to be inclined to listen.

If you use AI you’re accelerating climate crisis, polluting deprived communities, burning through water, giving bosses excuses to reduce workers rights and wages. It’s a moral and ethical degradation.

This is a rough combination of two maps, of tornado damage in St. Louis and of income levels in key parts of the tornado path. Source for the base map: www.justicemap.org, source for the tornado damage map apps.dat.noaa.gov/stormdamage/.... I aligned them by eye in Photoshop so this is a rough job

BREAKING: Scott Pelley just risked everything to make one thing clear: The attack on free speech isn’t coming—it’s already here. Journalists are being silenced, critics are being punished, and most of the media’s playing dead. This is state-sponsored suppression. This is dictatorship in real time.

These short videos (3 min) show #tornado damage at Forest Park—30% larger than Central Park. Home to Art & History Museums, zoo, Science Ctr—all free, BTW—plus municipal theater. Site of 1904 Olympics & World’s Fair. Still breathtaking, if bruised. #STL • youtu.be/JO96HHzOdGQ • youtu.be/-3ycbLbFVeU

This. You know what was good? Plain HTML pages with text and images and hyperlinks. Maybe a single banner ad at the top to fund it. Not something that loads literally gigabytes of random executable code from hundreds of different domains to show you one three-paragraph article and fifty video ads.

“I agree with Nick.” Kill the industry, you say? That sounds tough for that industry. Which industry was that again? Oh. The stealing industry? Maybe killing that industry wouldn’t be such a bad thing? Considering it’s kind of a bad industry. Unlike the other one, which it’s currently killing.
