CART. To put the cart before the horse; to mention the last part of a story first. To be flogged at the cart's arse or tail; persons guilty of petty larceny are frequently sentenced to be tied to the tail of a cart, and whipped by the common executioner, for a certain distance.

#California sues #Catholic hospital for denying woman emergency #abortion: Democratic attorney general accuses Providence St Joseph hospital of violating state law to provide emergency care
"California’s attorney general on Monday sued a Catholic hospital accused of refusing to provide an emergency abortion in February to a woman whose water broke prematurely, putting her at risk of potentially life-threatening infection and hemorrhage.
The Democratic attorney general, Rob Bonta, accused Providence St Joseph hospital in Eureka of discriminating against pregnant patients and violating the state’s law requiring hospitals to provide necessary emergency care. The lawsuit, filed in Humboldt county superior court, seeks a court order to stop the hospital from denying medically necessary abortions in the future, as well as civil penalties."

NAACP Hair Relaxer Justice – In Pursuit Of Justice For Women Of Color
For generations, people of color, particularly Black women, have adopted the practice of chemically relaxing their hair in pursuit of achieving straighter, “more manageable” hair.
Whether based on personal choice or cultural norms, the practice is rooted in a longstanding societal standard that has historically favored Eurocentric features and marginalized natural Black hair textures.
Haircare companies have long targeted Black women with these chemical products, neglecting to warn consumers of their potential health risks.

Update from @qrper on his status there near Swannanoa, NC
"Helene Aftermath: Long Update, Monday September, 30 2024"
"...Overnight, I charged several of my HTs (handheld VHF/UHF radios) and distributed them to neighbors (thankfully, I’ve collected quite a few of these over the years especially since everyone in our family has a license)... No, most of these people don’t have licenses, but this is 100% a real emergency...
First thing Sunday morning, I turned on my radio and monitored the Mount Mitchell repeater. After checking traffic, I prepared my circa 1990 Fuji Suncrest mountain bike....""

I recall their current owner had some private meetings with Trump ~2019 or so. No idea what they discussed, but it’s a bad look for the NYT
