We’re in the second Gilded Age just like the first ��� when America’s wealth was in the hands of a few, money corrupted politics, and working people were abused and exploited.
It can be easy to feel discouraged, but the first Gilded Age teaches us lessons on how we can fight back.
After a month in Taliban prison, Wazir Khan has been released, according to his relatives. For three years, he defied the Taliban’s oppressive rule by educating both girls and boys in Kabul. He was arrested on February 24. I hope we see him speaking freely in the media soon.
Since 2021, the Taliban have imposed over 80 brutal draconian edicts to erase Afghan women from public life.
❌ 1.4 million girls banned from education.
❌ Women silenced, stripped of basic freedoms.
❌ No women in politics, law, sports, or the arts.
The world cannot look away. Symbolic statements are not enough—we need concrete action.
📢 This International Women's Day, demand an end to gender persecution.

Shocking new directive: Today, the Taliban's Minister of Vice and Virtue announced a ban on adult women's voices in each other's presence. In August, the Taliban banned women's voices in public, deeming it provocative. Women protested to this ban by singing and poetry.

There is no doubt (based on the data from 11 studies and >106,000 patients) that upfront combination #LLT:
👉 significantly more effectively (in comparison to HIS) reduces #LDLC (but additional 12-16 mg/dl)
👉 increases the chances to be on LDL-C goal by even 85%
👉 significantly reduces #CVD #mortality and all-cause mortality by 25%
👉 significantly reduces the risk of #MACE by 28%
👉 based on the sub-analysis with #RCTs also significantly reduces the risk of #stroke by 18%
👉does not increase the risk of any #safety concern and #AEs + the risk of #discontinuation and based on the #network #metanalysis, significantly reduces the risk of #SAMS and discontinuation in comparison to #HIS.
