🧵Stormy Kay lost her first husband to suicide by gun when he was in serious debt after getting out of prison. Later, she found another partner who was also obsessed with guns, had a bad heart, and soured in his relationship with Stormy and her son, who he threatened with guns more than once.

A Woman Lost Two Partners to Guns—Then the N.R.A. Came to Collect
The majority of suicides in the U.S. involve guns, and eighty per cent of those are done by white men, a pattern that the gun-rights organization has spent decades denying.

CDC’s chief blocked a covid vaccine study. Now it’s in a top medical journal.
The study found that the vaccine reduced the risk of emergency department visits and hospitalizations among healthy adults by about half last winter.
