"At Cornell University, it turns out that protesting genocide is a removable offense. But meanwhile, drugging, trafficking, and raping a woman is a writing assignment."
This article is for men. Women already know this.
This week a woman filed a civil suit against 7 men at Cornell U for drugging, trafficking, and raping her. Zero have faced criminal charges.
Women are not safe around men. And the data is devastating.

I'm seeing multiple MDs, including those high up at the WHO, repeatedly say the public need not worry about hantavirus, you need close prolonged contact to get the illness, it's not airborne, and most worryingly, the WHO advising HCWs to use inadequate respiratory protection.

Again I ask #Medsky why they are not using N95s in #oncology.
Why are there no HEPA purifiers in lobbies, patient rooms, etc?
There is no justification for not using the most effective tools we have to PREVENT airborne infection.
There is no scientific, ethical, nor cost related reason not to.

For centuries, the Texas government has weaponized different laws to control and exploit Black women’s bodies—first through slavery, then through Jim Crow segregation, and now through abortion restrictions that disproportionately harm and control the lives of Black women.

The state of Georgia is using the body of a brain-dead woman as an incubator. Because she was 9 weeks pregnant when she died, and their abortion ban is from about 6 weeks, they are sustaining her on life support, without input from her family, until 32 weeks of gestation. A true dystopian nightmare.

This is an unscientific decision that will cause harms. While topical fluoride is useful, when adult teeth are growing (in children) ingested fluoride makes more impact than any topical fluoride later can.
