We need to talk about monkeypox and sex: “What’s challenging is communicating that while this not a ‘gay disease,’ our limited resources need to go to the people at the highest risk,” one expert said. “It’s also important to communicate the risk is highest with sexual activity without shaming the queer community.” Anyone can get monkeypox, but the current outbreak is overwhelmingly concentrated among men who have sex with men. Both these things can be true.

New York Times Faces Backlash Over Dan Goldman Endorsement Debacle: There are ties between the families of Goldman and Times publisher A.G. Sulzberger, who took an interest in the endorsement. The spectacle of the Times endorsing three white guys was itself enough to draw attention, but capping it off by backing Goldman, a self-funding heir to the Levi Strauss fortune, has brought an unusual amount of attention to the paper’s endorsement process.

Facebook Is Collaborating With Cops to Criminalize Pregnancy Outcomes:
Now that Roe has fallen, Facebook is taking a lead role in the surveillance and criminalization of pregnant people. It’s abhorrent, but unsurprising, that Facebook willingly turned over a user’s private messages to aid in the unjust prosecution of her self-managed abortion, but this is what that company is. CEO Mark Zuckerberg has proven, time and again, that he has absolutely no concern for the privacy and safety of the social networking site’s users or for society at large.

Economic analyses of the proposal suggest that the answer is likely no, not anytime soon, anyway.

Idaho Supreme Court to allow near-total abortion ban to take effect Aug. 25: Two justices agreed to speed up the timeline for various legal challenges to be heard, but wanted it noted that they felt the laws should not be enforced until the legal process was over. The state Supreme Court’s ruling means potential relatives of an embryo or fetus can now sue abortion providers over procedures done after six weeks of gestation and another stricter ban criminalizing all abortions can take effect later this month. Potential relatives can sue for up to $20,000 within four years of an abortion. Rapists cannot sue under the law but a rapist’s family members would be able to sue https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://nypost.com/2022/08/13/idaho-supreme-court-allows-strict-near-total-abortion-ban/__;!!On18fmf1aQ!3hvCJXNg4x8TnAeH9omJ3Od1smEWC7xCZ6x4ZpnG1vCrONwCR9usMk55TZmXaguyN-adb_QVPQ6-jx0uQwnt9UbcHo6XWYEl$

Trumps week just went from really bad to “Sir, I gotta ask, did you take any nuclear codes?” For his part, the president has released several statements suggesting that yeah, he was definitely keeping documents about nuclear weapons at Mar-a-Lago. A person familiar with the matter said the 15 boxes of documents that had been removed from Mar-a-Lago in January included such intelligence. So you can probably understand why the government was freaked out by the prospect of Trump potentially keeping some of the country’s biggest national security secrets in his basement.

Unsealed court documents show the FBI was looking for evidence Trump violated the Espionage Act and other laws – here’s how the documents seized show possible wrongdoing.

Republicans to People With Diabetes, Drop Dead: The GOP voted against a modest price cap on insulin, putting the lives of tens of millions of people in peril. You’d think the GOP would be looking for ways to puff up its supposed “economic populist” credentials, rather than voting against a modest price control that would help keep tens of millions of Americans from, you know, dying. The cost of insulin in America is about $100 per unit. 80 percent of Americans have racked up thousands of dollars of credit card debt to pay for this medication.

Rainwater everywhere on Earth unsafe to drink due to ‘forever chemicals’, study finds: Scientists are calling for tighter restrictions on PFAS which persist in the environment for years. Per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a large family of human-made chemicals that don’t occur in nature. They are known as ‘forever chemicals’ because they don’t break down in the environment. They have non-stick or stain repellent properties so can be found in household items like food packaging, electronics, cosmetics and cookware.

Voters of color continue to be impacted by discriminatory election practices intended to diminish their voting power. In 2021 alone, in the wake of record levels of turnout for the presidential election, a wave of anti-voter measures were introduced across the states – many of which will disproportionately disenfranchise Black and Brown voters. As midterm elections approach this year, we expect these blatant suppression tactics to continue.
