Does the news reflect what we die from?

The image presents a comparison of the leading causes of death in the United States for 2023 and the media coverage these causes receive from three news outlets: The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Fox News.

In the footer, it notes the data sources, indicating that the information is based on media mentions from Media Cloud (2025) and death data from the US CDC (2025) and the Global Terrorism Index, with a clarification that values are normalized to sum to 100%.

Sudan | For more than 500 days, Al Fasher has endured a catastrophic period of violence, leaving over 260,000 people on the edge, trapped in conflict.

The people of Sudan cannot be forgotten.

Daniel O'Malley, ICRC Head of Delegation in Sudan, shares.

Read more: ms.spr.ly/63328sLYAa

“What people have been enduring during these 500 days in Al Fasher is nothing short of catastrophic. Over 260,000 men, women and children are trapped, eating one meal a day and risking their lives just to find undrinkable water. Local medical teams are under fire, trying to work with very limited resources and trying to save lives whilst protecting their own. They’re not performing medicine, they’re performing miracles. This cannot continue."

Dagens matsystem skapar mycket klimatgaser, förorenar vattnen och tär på jordens resurser, samtidigt som inte alla kan äta sig mätta. Därför startar Rebellmammorna och föreningen Reformaten nu Matupproret, en rörelse man hoppas att många kan engagera sig i.

Nineteen years ago, on October 7, 2006, Anna Politkovskaya was assassinated by Putin's hitmen.
She was the first to tell the truth about Russia's mass crimes in Chechnya, which foreshadowed those in Syria, Ukraine, Africa and elsewhere. They could have been prevented.
Almost no one listened to her.

📣 We have launched a new #PFAS manifesto
👉 www.banpfasmanifesto.org/en/

🧪 PFAS are a group of over 10,000 chemicals and due to their longevity, pose a serious threat to human health.

🚫 A strict phase-out of all PFAS is the only way to protect current & future generations.

Very important findings.

These results show that no one escapes #PFAS contamination & that a comprehensive ban is long overdue.

It's time to stand up to the #ForeverChemicals industry lobby.

This is a VERY alarming finding on PFAS in the EU

European Environmental Bureau🍃 @eeb.org · 1d

🔎 Findings briefly:

- Between three and eight PFAS chemicals were detected in the blood of all EU officials tested

- Half of EU leaders tested exceed levels linked to health risks

- Six PFAS (PFOA, PFOS, PFHxS, PFNA, PFDA & PFUnDA) are already regulated in Europe - yet still found in their blood

Gazadebatten ”rörs ner i en politisk giftblandning där invandringsmotstånd, islamfientlighet och antisemitism redan puttrat ett bra tag. En blandning helt avsedd för ”hemmakonsumtion”, där en del Palestinademonstranters förlöpningar blir viktigare än själva kriget.”
