A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds.

In the two years since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, abortion-rights advocates in Wyoming have been on the defensive. After Roe’s fall, the Wyoming Legislature’s near-total “trigger” ban was set to go into effect, though it stalled in court. The very next year, it was replaced by another near-total ban and an additional prohibition on abortion-inducing medications. And in March, the statehouse passed a bill mandating ultrasounds for women seeking the procedure and effectively regulating facilities offering abortions out of business.
