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. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.

On Monday, California became the first U.S. state to legally bar school districts from notifying parents of a child's decision to change their pronouns. The law was signed in response to local districts in California passing laws requiring school districts to notify their parents if they learn of a child changing their pronoun. Advocates of the law point out that preventing transgender children from confiding in sympathetic teachers puts them in danger and violates their right to privacy, especially if their parents do not understand the history and science behind transgender identities.
