"Entire teams based at the CDC's injury center that focused on motor vehicle crashes, child maltreatment, rape prevention and education, drowning, traumatic brain injury, falls in the elderly, and other issues were eliminated.

'A lot of the work we do will not be picked up by anyone else,' one senior health scientist who lost their job tells NPR."

"Free self-defence workshop offered to women in Guelph after police report rise in sexual assaults"

(btw, the workshop was only one day, the 13th but that's not the problem I find most concerning)

ABY BUT IN ALLCAPS

With all the (rightful!) vitriol surrounding the Space Flight today, please don't let the conversation ignore Amanda Nguyen (because the media certainly has..).

Ms Nguyen went to Harvard and interned at Nasa twice. She conducted research on exoplanets for the Harvard-Smithsonian Centre for Astrophysics.

While she was a student at Harvard and interning with Nasa in 2013, she was raped. This paused her dream of becoming an astronaut and experiencing space travel. As a result of her strength and compassion in response to that attack, Ms Nguyen decided to leave Nasa and engage in activism work that challenged the narrative around victim-survivors, and ultimately she created Rise - a non-profit organisation which aims to protect the civil rights of sexual assault victims and rape survivors.

In 2016, the Sexual Assault Survivors' Rights Act passed through the Senate and the House of Reps, and was signed into law by Obama. The law protects, among other rights, the right to have the evidence of a rape kit preserved without charge for the duration of the statute of limitations, and the right to be notified before the destruction of evidence held in your case so you can apply for it to be kept and archived.

Amanda Nguyen is a brilliant and amazing person who was able to experience a tiny edge of a dream she had given up on. Please be gentle with her story when (rightfully) protesting some of the other women involved.

Pretty disgusting too, along with all the misogyny oozing out of people, that people gloss over Amanda and her story in favour of the celebs.

Blue Origin is not a good thing, net. It's a wealth-hoarders' jolly.

But Nguyen is an incredible woman and does not deserve to be lumped in with the uber-rich, even if I'd rather she hadn't participated in this thing - it was her choice and I'm glad she's free to make it.

“It's Offical: UN Accuses Israel of Genocide in Gaza”

by Kit Klarenberg in Global Delinquents on Substack

“Ever since October 7th 2023, it has been inarguably clear that the Zionist entity is committing genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza. [..] However, no major international organisation has hitherto formally inculpated the Zionist entity of genocide”
