Xeelee , in Nearly two years after Texas' six-week abortion ban, more infants are dying
@Xeelee@kbin.social avatar

The system works as designed.

Pilkins , in There are almost no national safety rules protecting US workers exposed to high heat

This is something I’m wanting to bring up in our next union negotiations. Anyone working in the heat needs this ironed out before the next few years, as summers just keep getting worse. It’s ridiculous there aren’t laws for this yet.

break the law? go to prison.

Kalkaline OP , in Axios- Many hospitals posted record margins during pandemic, study finds
@Kalkaline@lemmy.one avatar

As a healthcare worker, this was my suspicion, but it’s also infuriating to read.

4am , in 13-year-old girl kidnapped at gunpoint in Texas rescued in Long Beach thanks to 'help me' sign
@4am@lemmy.world avatar

Good thing it wasn’t a Chik Fil A bag

captainkaladin , in Tony Bennett, US singer with seven-decade career, dies aged 96
@captainkaladin@lemmy.world avatar

He’s the only guy that was on the same level as Sinatra

Apartment5A , in Nebraska teen sent to 90 days in jail over abortion

Well, 90 days in jail is better than the sentence the baby received.

*fetus

Apartment5A ,

Fetus is just a term for an unborn baby. What magic do you believe happens when a baby is born? The vagina sprinkles pixie dust on it and it becomes sentient and a real person? Lol.

lolcatnip ,

That’s a shockingly ignorant statement.

tallwookie ,
@tallwookie@lemmy.world avatar

that means all of us C-section babies aren’t people!

or the vagina doesn’t actually do that, lol

refurbishedrefurbisher ,

A life full of misery and pain because the parents are unable/not ready to support a child?

The fetus wasn’t even consious at this stage.

Apartment5A ,

Agreed, which is why I believe you should be able to murder people who pass out at parties early.

“Officer, they weren’t even conscious, bro.”

Also, scientifically, a baby develops its first sense, touch around 8 weeks, which connect to their developing brain. Furthermore, the current lack of consciousness, if it were true, doesn’t/shouldn’t forfeit your right to develop/gain consciousness.

EricHill78 , in Texas worker accused of being on drugs was actually dying of heatstroke
@EricHill78@lemmy.world avatar

I live in the city this happened. I couldn’t even imagine what it would be like to do physical work in this weather. May he RIP.

MicroWave OP , (edited ) in Texas A&M President Resigns Amid Fallout Over Journalism Program
@MicroWave@lemmy.world avatar

Can’t believe something like this happened at a big public university

Ms. McElroy ultimately turned down the one-year contract, she said, and the episode became a full-blown crisis for Texas A&M after The Texas Tribune first reported on the conflict. Ms. McElroy described a series of conversations in which the Arts and Sciences dean told her that there was political pushback to her appointment.

“I said, ‘What’s wrong?’” Ms. McElroy recalled of her conversation with the dean, José Luis Bermúdez. “He said, ‘You’re a Black woman who was at The New York Times and, to these folks, that’s like working for Pravda.’” Ms. McElroy, who left The Times in 2011, did not immediately return a call seeking comment on Friday.

It’s shocking and appalling, but conservatives attacking professors and college administrators giving into them as once great institutions implode is where we’re at right now. From a prior article about this story linked at the bottom of OP,

In 2021, Nikole Hannah-Jones, a writer for The New York Times Magazine, was denied a tenured position at the University of North Carolina (“tHe nAtIoN’S FiRsT PuBlIc uNiVeRsItY”), after the university’s board of trustees refused to approve her appointment. Conservatives had taken issue with her involvement in The Times’s 1619 Project, which re-examined slavery in the United States.

Stovetop ,

I had an opportunity to once attend a lecture by Nikole Hannah-Jones. Amazing experience. She was not shy about addressing problems of whiteness in academia and I can only assume it’s for that reason and that reason alone that she would be denied a position at a university.

Once again, the people at the top make bank while the workers get nothing.

UFODivebomb ,

The workers got comparatively less than they had. So “the people at the top make bank while the workers sacrifice more” is more accurate.

nostalgicgamerz , in Axios- Many hospitals posted record margins during pandemic, study finds

And they also made acquisitions and eliminated competitors during that time like a motherfucker

okamiueru , in Nebraska teen sent to 90 days in jail over abortion

Seems News is just “US News”. I gave up all interest in US politics after the 2016 primaries. Good luck with fixing your shit. I’m out.

fidelacchius ,

Of course it is. The US invented the internet. Everything defaults to the USA unless specified otherwise

KpntAutismus ,

maybe because the US is very controversial because bad decisions get made constantly? when other governments make horrible brainrot-level decisions, that gets international attention as well.

FlyingSquid , in Liberal justices blast Supreme Court majority for allowing Alabama execution
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

It took six minutes to insert the two IVs. This is just torture.

dogslayeggs ,

Jesus. How badly trained are the medical people on that team?

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Probably the worst to come out of medical school. What other health care worker would voluntarily execute someone like this?

randomwords ,

They do not have medical degrees typically, people with those have usually sworn to do no harm.

SeaJ , in Alabama Failed to Carry Out Its Last Two Executions. It’s Trying Again This Week.

They won’t do nitrogen because there is no protocol despite being legal for five years. But clearly the protocol for lethal injection is shit. So instead of using that would almost certainly be painless they will do something that has caused many painful deaths over the years simply because they’ve done it before.

negativeyoda , in Judge: West Virginia can't require incarcerated atheist to participate in religious programming

So while I’m all for this, think about the person trying to get a parole board to write off on their parole. Even if the person is in the right I can only imagine that it’s still in that person’s best interests to at least act the good christian because the parole board can deny them for any reason with no need to explain.

American society is so fucked.

irotsoma ,
@irotsoma@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, but it sounds like they already crossed that line. Once that happens, may as well stick up for your rights. Regardless of whether they went through the program. The corrupted parole board will already prejudge them as a bad person for not believing in their version of their god.

You also get special privileges if you’re religious in prison, like better food if you’re keeping Kosher or Halal and being let out of your cell to go to religious services. Even if you’re an atheist, I could see why you would pretend.
