"How insurance affects the care of gunshot wound victims has remained shrouded in mystery — until now, due to a new analysis by The Trace and KFF Health News of data that Florida hospitals compile to collect payments from insurance companies and file with the state."

Florida Hospitals Act Fast To Discharge Gun Victims — Especially if They’re Not Insured - KFF Health News

Uninsured patients made up about 1 in 4 of the more than 20,000 gunshot wound inpatient hospitalizations in Florida from 2018 to 2024, an analysis of state data by KFF Health News and The Trace found. They also had shorter hospital stays than those with any form of coverage.

This one looks suspicious to me ,

“ The Supreme Court announced Tuesday that it will decide whether cities and states may ban people from owning AR-15 rifles and similar semi-automatic weapons, taking up a major Second Amendment dispute that it had previously declined to address.”

The cases are the latest high-profile disputes over #guns to reach #SCOTUS since its conservative majority handed down a landmark ruling in 2022 that expanded #SecondAmendment rights & spawned challenges to firearm laws around the country.

The case is expected to be heard in the fall.

Supreme Court will review bans on semiautomatic rifles like the AR-15

A Supreme Court that has expanded gun rights will consider whether bans on semiautomatic rifles, often called assault weapons, violate the Second Amendment. The justices said Tuesday they will take up an appeal asking the court to strike down bans on the AR-15 and similar semiautomatic firearms in the Chicago area and Connecticut. Similar bans are in place in about a dozen states, covering major cities like New York, Los Angeles and Washington, D.C. A national assault weapons ban expired in 2004. The case is expected to be heard in the fall.

Yet another fediverse #introduction

Hello! I'm from #Chicago and do nerdy stuff. I primarily identify as #genderfluid, #nonbinary, and #trans. Most people use they/them pronouns for me, but I'm also cool with she or he contextually.

My work right now is primarily #DevOps stuff relating to #Kubernetes and various cloudy things. I've been doing this long enough to remember when our servers were named after Greek gods and you used a label maker to show that off.

I practice #polyamory and try to avoid hierarchy or prescribed models in my relationships in general. I'm unapologetically #bisexual with some admittedly #sapphic bias.

In the summer you might find me on my #motorcycle enjoying the precious few months we can actually enjoy it. I love cross-country road trips and #camping.

I also run the Chicago Pink Pistols chapter. We're a charity that helps #lgbtq and #transgender people specifically learn about #firearms safety. You may see me post about #guns on a fairly regular basis.

I'm going to double down on this because I just want to say that...
#CivilWar requires #Civil #Disobedience. We don't need #Guns to win this. You can't win anything with guns. We have historical proof that is overwhelming. We can make change with #Non-violence. We have the same proof. #RESIST 🗽🗽🗽

Problems with “stupid”

Stupid. A word I have used so many times for many years. It’s easy, simple, versatile and vitriolic if you want it to be. Dismissive and gratifying. But these are also things that can be wron…
