The bogus Tylenol "announcement" has nothing to do with Tylenol and everything to do with the $30 billion US investment by GSK, who also makes Leucovorin.

GSK commits $30 billion to US research and development, factory expansion, as Trump visits UK

Drugmaker GSK said Wednesday it would invest $30 billion in U.S. research and development and supply chain infrastructure over five years, after U.S. President Donald Trump arrived in Britain for a second state visit to seal investment deals.

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

The “problem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.

You go, #sisters!! "A free republic depends on free and fair elections. It depends equally on a discerning and conscientious citizenry who do not unquestioningly accept the word of anyone who has a social media platform.” #StandUp #Resist #Erie

We learned last fall that heck hath no fury like a group of Benedictine sisters falsely accused of voter fraud.

I rode on the incline in Pittsburgh with Charles Shaughnessy while he was in town on the Monty Python's Spamalot tour (2006). I just happened to be showing my visiting family the sites, and he happened to be on the same incline trip.

Data doesn't lie. Who are the baby killers now? Not the women and their doctors who are denied the fundamental right to choose the best care for their individual needs.

The data is undeniable:
•15 of top 16 states with the highest rates of infant mortality are red states that deny/ban repro access.
•12 of top 13 states with the lowest rates of infant mortality are blue states that protect repro access.

Why is this even a debate?

While I love the thought of summer approaching, my damaged CNS no longer cooperates with the heat 🥵. It feels like a good time to remind myself that the cold and snow will be here in a blink. Enjoy this snow angel I drew last winter.

Not everyone can participate in boots on the ground resistance.

Protesting is a privilege.

Boycotting is a privilege.

Many forms of resistance are privileges that are out of reach for the most vulnerable.

If you can’t be boots on the ground, here’s a community action item that needs support!

Kelly @broadwaybabyto.bsky.social · Jun 14

Urgent community action needed by Monday!

“DOE wants to remove 12 civil rights rules. Part of these are disability access protections. They say the rules are unnecessary & outdated”

This will mean buildings aren’t accessible to disabled people. Another step towards eliminating us from society

Speak Up Now: Protect Disability Access Rights!

Deadline to submit public comment is June 16th!

AOC: When they say illegal vs legal immigration—they are trying to end legal status in the US making people undocumented and then they have the audacity to call them illegal when they were here documented.

“A CDC report found that among pregnant U.S. women infected with COVID-19, about 1 in 80 deliveries was a stillbirth — the loss of a fetus anytime after 20 weeks. That’s compared with 1 in 155 among uninfected women”

Pregnant women need access to Covid boosters.

This is what I've been saying all along. Trump and Musk are merely puppets in the horrific show Vought has been constructing for years. Musk never led DOGE and the little orange man certainly isn't running the country.

Adriana Smith, a black pregnant woman, tried to get healthcare for a pregnancy related complication. She was dismissed & ignored.

The next day, she was pronounced brain dead.

Now she’s been turned into an incubator due to Georgia’s abortion ban.

Medical misogyny harms even in death:

Adriana Smith, Misogyny and the Cruelty of Forced Birth

Adriana Smith couldn't access competent medical care when she needed it, and it killed her. Now the hospital is forcing 'care' on her by keeping her alive as an incubator due to Georgia's abortion ban
