This is genuinely the saddest thing I've seen like there's no way you're telling me looks don't matter

the death toll from the drugs the FDA was slow to approve is likely higher than the deaths they've prevented
In January 2025 my mom’s lung cancer spread to her brain. The drug with the best chance of helping her was approved in China but not here.
A doctor told me, almost as an aside, that if she were Chinese she could buy it at a pharmacy.
So I flew to Shanghai and came home with 26 boxes in my luggage. That was 19 months ago. My mom is still here, still working, and in her words has had an amazing three years.
The drug was approved in China in 2023. The FDA approved it in July 2025. It still is not for sale here. I know of at least 30 Americans who have made the same trip.
I have been scared to tell this story because I worried it could cost my mom access to the medicine keeping her alive. But the problem matters more than my silence. These drugs need to be developed and available here, and that means FDA reform.
Art Allen at KFF Health News told our story this week. It also ran in The Washington Post.

i dont even like anime or go to shops like this. but i know this kind of place survives off razor thin margins, held together at the seams by a loyal customer base and like one or two guys who work tireless 80hr weeks. if you do this you should be pulled apart by horses. no trial

Every time I visit a college campus, I inevitably meet people convinced that finance contributes nothing to the American economy.
I think it’s actually one of America’s greatest competitive advantages.
This is the screenshot I always show them.

They’re telling each other to only smash European-owned shops.
Making this weekend the biggest racially targeted attack on commerce in Europe since the Night of Broken Glass in 1938.
At least 1500 looted.

“Don’t smash it up, she’s a sister!”
This shop manager protecting her business is spared by the thugs out of Muslim solidarity.
Still absolutely no connection to immigration.

Mon école est ce matin saccagé.
J ai plus de salles pour mes etudiants. Plus d écrans ( juste cassés). Plus d ordinateurs . Clim cassé ( oui on avait la clim)
Des Tags 1312 dans chaque salle.
Les câbles de liaisons coupés, tirés, défoncés.
Je n en dis pas plus.

Scrolling Twitter right now is very bad for my psyche, every tweet on my timeline is either a video of some small business owner getting his life ruined by pillagers or leftist zoomers praising the pillaging because muh French Revolution was violent so we have to destroy society

Students supported Mao
Students supported Castro
Students supported Khomeini
Students supported Hitler
Students supported Mussolini
If find yourself blindly supporting every student lead movement, you’ll be wrong very often, in many eras, on many issues.
A good rule of history: if you find yourself opposing a student movement while siding with the ruling class, you're wrong. Every time, in every era, whatever the issue.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Student movements have not always been on the right side of history. Mao's student Red Guards persecuted hundreds of thousands. Students helped Castro and Khomeini rise to power, and Nazi student groups opposed the Weimar Republic.
