June 24 (Reuters) - Twitter Inc has permanently suspended the account of a rightwing online personality for violating its copyright policy, a week after he posted a doctored video of toddlers that was tweeted by President Donald Trump.

Most California school districts lifted their masks mandates earlier this week, although San Diego Unified School District will wait to drop their mandate until students return from spring break on April 4.

2017's Okja comes from Parasite director Bong Joon-ho -- which should be incentive enough to watch it. Part cheeky dark comedy, part surreal environmental thriller, Okja follows a young South Korean farmer girl whose pet pal is a genetically enhanced super-pig. But Okja is the target of a big corporation that wants her delicious flesh. With an English supporting cast including the likes of Tilda Swinton and Jake Gyllenhaal, Okja sucks you in with its sweetness before showing you a distressing close-up of the meat industry.

Impacts of COVID-19 on the pregnant person and their baby mostly center on delivery, as women with COVID-19 are more likely to give birth preterm or experience a stillbirth than women who don't have COVID-19. 

It's normal to feel discouraged if you've done everything to prevent getting sick, but still test positive for COVID-19. Getting sick while pregnant, however, can cause a lot of extra stress and sometimes more serious problems -- even with viruses less serious than the one dragging on a global pandemic. So if you get COVID-19 while pregnant, what do you do?

Bottom line: Ask your health care provider before taking Mucinex or any cough medicine during pregnancy, so the two of you can weigh the severity of your symptoms with the potential risks (if any) of medication. 

Experts aren't entirely sure why pregnancy can raise a person's risk of developing severe COVID-19 disease, but there are a few ideas. Changes in the body that occur during pregnancy could increase someone's chances of becoming severely ill with a respiratory virus like COVID-19. It may also be because a person's immune system is naturally depressed during pregnancy in order to prevent their body from rejecting the growing fetus, Dr. Ella Speichinger, an OB-GYN at University of Missouri Health Care, told CNET in May.

With allergy season approaching, and COVID-19 still here, many people are reaching for over-the-counter medication in the hopes of relieving congestion or getting through a cough. What about one of the most popular ones, Mucinex?

The original clip was a cheerful story of a viral video showing Black and white toddlers who were best friends; the doctored version added a misspelled banner flashing "Terrified todler runs from racist baby".

Twitter has repeatedly clashed with Trump since it began challenging his tweets in May.
The president has threatened to change laws on social media after Twitter labelled one of his tweets about postal voting inaccurate and hid a tweet about looting, which Twitter said fomented violence.

"I received a DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) takedown order this morning for that video, and a few hours later a suspension letter", Donktum posted website on Locals, another digital content platform.

Pseudoephedrine is a common decongestant, found in Mucinex products such as Mucinex D, that works by narrowing the blood vessels in the nasal passages. And it's also one ingredient the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecologists recommends against during the first trimester due to a small risk of birth defects in the abdominal wall.

The title of this comedy-drama might sound familiar, but its focus is an unconventional tale. The Forty-Year-Old Version follows Radha, a playwright and teacher who finds herself drawn to the forgotten passion of her youth: rapping. Inspired by writer, director and star Radha Blank's real life, this beautiful diary of a struggling artist will inspire and hit home, with relatable themes of failure and unfulfilled potential.

Determining the risk of the other active ingredients found in Mucinex is a little trickier. Dextromethorphan is a cough suppressant that works by interfering with the "cough" signal in your brain. Guaifenesin works by loosening the mucus in your chest. There are some reports of a small risk of neural tube defects linked to guaifenesin, but the evidence is inconclusive. It's listed in a report by the American Academy of Family Physicians as "might be unsafe during first trimester." In the same report, dextromethorphan is listed as "appears to be safe in pregnancy," but as is true for many drugs and ingredients, there isn't enough evidence to say conclusively either way.

A long list of health conditions (pregnancy and being postpartum are two of them) can increase someone's risk of severe COVID-19 disease, including hospitalization and death. If you're pregnant and also have a medical condition, such as diabetes, asthma or high blood pressure, your doctor may recommend additional treatment.
