The parents of two children who died by AR-15 gunfire consented to having The Post visually reconstruct what the bullets did to their bodies.

A spokesman for the family of Peter Wang, a Parkland victim, said the "parents want people to know the truth" wapo.st/3JRkV4o Our top editor explained why The Post did this kind of rare visual examination of what gun violence does to people washingtonpost.com/nation/interac…

A doctor called one trans woman “it.” A nonbinary person was grilled about their pronouns during an ultrasound. A trans masculine person fled Tennessee as lawmakers restricted care.

We told the stories of trans people navigating health care. Paywall free wapo.st/3Zcf7bg This story is part of a broader @washingtonpost series on trans life in America, bolstered by rare polling of the community w/ @KFF.

It’s the largest ever nongovernmental survey of trans people using a randomized sample. washingtonpost.com/health/interac…

NEW: @FrancesSSellers & I have been investigating Dobbs' consequences.

We found the standard of care for incomplete miscarriages, ectopic pregnancies and other common complications is being scrutinized, delayed — even denied — jeopardizing maternal health wapo.st/3PrUH9y In Wisconsin, a woman bled for more than 10 days from an incomplete miscarriage after emergency room staff would not remove the fetal tissue washingtonpost.com/health/2022/07…

After omicron arrived, the pandemic’s victims were no longer overwhelmingly unvaccinated.

@dtkeating & I explored the nuanced reasons why. Bottom line: Increasingly transmissible variants endanger the elderly and vulnerable & boosters are important wapo.st/3KnkNYA The death rates for the vaccinated and boosted are FAR lower than for the unvaccinated.

What gets lost: That’s tens of thousands of people and their blindsided families. washingtonpost.com/health/2022/04…

Today’s WFH includes my four-year-old nephew and two-year-old dog both feeding off each other’s chaotic energy. Let’s see how this goes Breakfast off to a good start

Quite the choice for Greenwald to describe the gassing of peaceful protesters among a "a few isolated, symbolic" gestures. Feds were also preparing to take over the D.C. police department and to move military forces from Fort Belvoir into the city. A medical military helicopter flew low over demonstrators in a display of fear violating global norms. We had an unprecedented deployment of thousands of troops from states allied with the president against civilian protesters in a city of 700,000.

The sweeping declarations about what “the media” ignores often misses the important work done by journalists of color. The right question is whose work are we elevating?

Regional data here and will be updated soon: washingtonpost.com/graphics/local… And the daily case rate keeps spiking washingtonpost.com/graphics/local…

The spate of coronavirus cases linked to the White House has D.C. Council members steaming about Republicans who refused to wear masks or avoid crowds. Highlighting responses in this thread washingtonpost.com/politics/trump… .@brookeforward2: “It is disappointing that the White House has flaunted not wearing masks and gathering large crowds...That is not only dangerous messaging for the country, but it is directly threatening to our efforts to decrease our spread across the District.”

My iPhone can’t capture it, but thousands are packing the plaza outside the Supreme Court. Abortion rights advocates and others are addressing the crowd Kelley Robinson draws applause when she tells crowd she leads the political and campaign arm of Planned Parenthood. “Yes we mourn today, but tonight, we also prepare to fight.”

A long briefing on coronavirus, looking back and ahead, now underway. Will tweet highlights in this thread

Administration says city is approaching $1 billion in projected pandemic response context (annual budget is around $16 billion including federal funds)

Bowser holding her news conference on weekend unrest, blaming outside agitators. "We will not tolerate violence of any kind in Washington, D.C...We won't tolerate it against our police officers."

Mayor Bowser contends people from out of state came "armed for battle" with "fireworks, baseball bats and laser points and they were looking for police to confront"

"They are not the same as our residents who say Black Lives Matter."

This was the start of an arrest that sparked an intense scuffle between demonstrators on 16th Street and police. We saw the officer chasing the man before he tripped but don’t know what happened before that Then protesters started surrounding the officers who were making the arrest. They shouted, many rushed toward officers and at least one officer shoved a protester back. Then another young male was restrained with his face to the ground, sparking more anger

Back at Black Lives Matter Plaza with a much peppier scene underway (White girls dancing in solidarity on the sidewalk)

Jacob Wohl with a megaphone chanting all lives matter and Jack Burkman are here, with police in bikes separating them from ther protesters coming to yell at him A black activist has persuaded most of the people confronting Wohl and Burkman to back off. “They’re trolls” looking to create a distraction, he said

The first, but perhaps not only, WAP inspired sign near the White House Seems like this location is ripe for a “there’s some ____ in this House” chant

Bowser on the viral video showing protesters shouting at a diner: "What I saw in those videos was highly inappropriate, it was likely against the law if they were on private property but more importantly, I don't think it had anything to do with demands for social justice." Mayor Bowser continued: "We would encourage any diner or restaurant to call the police immediately."

Some highlights from today's D.C. Council's mayor's-office call on coronavirus.

The District is undergoing an "expensive" system wide school HVAC upgrade to "install the highest grade filters that will reduce the spread of any bacteria or virus or particle" How Dr. Nesbitt described the state of the pandemic: "We are in an increasing trend from when we entered phase 2, however for the past seven days, we are better off than we were last week."

First coronavirus briefing in more than a week underway

D.C. will start deploying contact tracers for home visits this week. Earlier estimates had tracers reaching about 60-70% of people on the phone

Are newspapers who acknowledged the obvious that telling people of color to go back where they came from is racist going to do the same for telling “suburban housewives” they’ll protect them from low-income housing while invoking a black senator? It’s not objective to avoid reporting the obvious out of fear of making people uncomfortable or drawing phony cries of bias.
