Porsha Ngumezi should still be alive today. Texas’ abortion ban killed her. Abortion bans make pregnancy more dangerous. No one should be denied lifesaving medical care.

The morning that Cmdr. Elizabeth Nakagawa was scheduled to have a D&C to remove fetal tissue after losing a very wanted pregnancy, she learned the surgery had been canceled because the military’s health insurance plan refused to pay for it. (Published Dec. 2024)

“I can’t, in good conscience, serve this administration any longer.” @juliannemcshane.bsky.social talked to HHS workers amid the push to purge the department with buyouts—right as multiple health crises, including measles, mount across the country.

In one week: - An unnecessary study to investigate a debunked vaccine conspiracy has been authorized. - Federal grants to study vaccine hesitancy have been rescinded. - False conspiracies regarding measles are been pushed by health leadership. The scale of damage this is causing will last decades.

🚨Measles cases in the US surge 35% in ONE WEEK—now at 222 in 12 states. We’re nearing last year’s TOTAL of 285, and it’s only March. Two deaths already, both unvaccinated. Texas is the epicenter with 198 cases. The CDC’s weekly data lags, so the numbers are likely even higher.

“The man occupying our White House has made a life of corruption and criminality by exploiting norms of courtesy.” And for those who believe it’s their higher duty to follow norms of civility in this urgent moment? It’s the pathway to America’s demise. www.americaamerica.news/p/when-civil...

Kaine: "You can talk about sending education back to the states. Yeah, that's where we were before Brown v. Board of Education. The states got to decide, and the states made a hell of a lot of decisions that were really awful."

Not covered in news today: kidnapping of *tens of thousands* of Ukrainian children over the past several years. From CBS News 02/27/24: “Stealing children in times of war…is a war crime. The act of deporation and transfer can…constitute a crime against humanity and a component act of genocide.” 💙💛💔
