Sexual assault is a violent crime—not a mistake deserving a slap on the wrist. When offenders receive light sentences or prosecutors decline charges despite sufficient evidence, the message to survivors is devastating: your trauma matters less than his future. #Pinks 📨✨ — Pinks Global

On World Patient Safety Day, patient safety includes more than treating the condition that brought someone to their provider. COVID-19 can lead to Long COVID, and repeated infections have increasing health impacts. Preventing exposure in health care settings is part of healthcare. (...)
World Health Network graphic for World Patient Safety Day. Large text reads: “Patient safety means preventing the next infection.” Below: “COVID is communicable, and a single COVID infection can lead to Long COVID that lasts for months or years. Reinfections are common.” Blue virus illustrations appear on the right.

Large text reads: “Safe care should not create new harm.” Below: “People can be infected with SARS-CoV-2 more than once, and repeated infections carry increasing health risks. For someone already living with Long COVID or another chronic condition, being exposed to another infection can have even more serious consequences. Preventing that exposure is part of patient safety.” Top text: “whn.global” and “World Health Network — Science for a safer, healthier world.” Bottom label: “World Patient Safety Day.”World Health Network graphic for World Patient Safety Day. Large text reads: “Safe care includes safe air.” Below: “Hospitals and other health care facilities already take measures to prevent avoidable infections. Preventing airborne transmission should be an essential part of those protections. Better ventilation and filtration, well-fitting respiratory protection (N95 or better) for patients, visitors, and health care workers, strong standards for respiratory protection, and broader policies that reduce exposure to airborne pathogens make health care environments safer. Protection should extend beyond the exam room to waiting rooms, hallways, elevators, restrooms, cafeterias, and other shared spaces.” A blue air-themed icon appears at the lower right.

An infection can cause chronic disease. Chronic illness can make another infection more consequential. And a person seeking treatment should not acquire a new illness in the process.

"yes, we are going to need gas for some time" This sounds reasonable and level-headed but it is a genuinely bonkers thing to say about a toxic product we need to eliminate ASAP to protect our own health and safety. No other 'useful' but dangerous product has been talked about in this way.

What’s the most effective carbon capture tech ever invented? Not Tesla. Not Direct Air Capture. It’s a forest. Protecting existing forests is 8-12x more effective than planting new ones. The solution is not to build. It’s to stop destroying.

Reframe the question and it becomes very clear. If you hire a manager to run your estate can that manager burn down the buildings on your estate or chop it and sell it off in parcels? Pretty obviously not. The president doesn't own the country. He's hired to administer it for four years.

Wouldn't it be cool to invest trillions of dollars into a technology that would actually make society better? Maybe we can call it “HI” — Human Intelligence. Instead of “data centers”, we could fund “schools”. Instead of *stealing* art, literature, and science, we help people *create* it. Crazy!

Serious question. Doesn’t our government already know who’s a citizen? The Social Security Administration, the State Department, DHS, the DMV they all have this data. In fact, the SAVE Act itself uses federal databases to verify citizenship for other parts of the bill.
