The most powerful part of this new study is that *any* abortion restrictions (waiting periods, biased counseling) are associated with increased rates of maternal death.

Because abortion is lifesaving, are barriers to lifesaving therapy leads to death.

Also: sorry, I wasn’t trying to imply you were “dragging” her. Just that it might be seen that way by people immediately after the fact. It is important to discuss the failures, and the denial that is often a powerful obstacle.

I don’t disagree with that

One thing that I have admired about your posts is that you ground the default right to privacy for kids, esp. online. I think that may be what the adults around them are doing. I may be projecting my feelings, though. I admit it might be as simple as it makes a better headline amid the grim news.

I’m not sure that immediately dragging their mother is showing them compassion. (I’m not sure of anything, though, I just understand the reticence). I do agree that there are several families across the country in situations with violent siblings that deserve that discussion.

I think it’s because people don’t want to victim-blame. She’s dead, and I don’t disagree these kids’ needs shouldn’t be dismissed, but jumping to talking about how their mother failed them might be compounding shame to grief. To your point, I do hope we start a nat’l convo about this.

How we fail to protect kids from violent siblings is an important conversation, but I think it will likely take some time to process first. Their mom and brother were just murdered, I don’t blame the adults around the siblings for not talking to the media right away.

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.

CNN: "Another photograph - these are notes AG Bondi brought to the hearing today. This shows a list of Rep. Jayapal's search history. Lawmakers are allowed to go to a DOJ facility to search unredacted files. We learned from this photo that the searches are apparently being tracked & read by the DOJ"

Prosecutors Began Investigating Renee Good’s Killing. Washington Told Them to Stop.

You should read this. It is the type of detail that experts in authoritarian regimes see as telling.
In this case, state agents are offered impunity from higher ups, and the legal system is rendered inoperative as a mode of accountability.

LAPD Charges at Hundreds of High School Students in Peaceful Walkout Protest at MDC ~ L.A. TACO LAPD arrested at least two teenagers protesting ICE raids in Los Angeles yesterday. They were also seen corresponding with ICE agents on Alameda Street during the demonstrations.

I feel like Los Angeles is a place where people expect ICE to happen because the kidnappings have been happening to my home city for decades, so there’s less media attention to it now. and I want folks to see that in LA, Latine students are organizing major protests & the police are attacking them

If I was a Democratic politician I would consider that the thousands of brave patriots in this city are America’s most visible and hardened cohort of anti-Trump resisters, and if you tell them you’re going to stand with ICE, they will never care about anything else you ever do again

Trump at the Pearly Gates Why the president thinks he’s going to Heaven.

It would be unfair to say large swathes of American elites are pro-Epstein. But they are effectively anti-anti-Epstein. They’re certainly not interested in doing much of anything to push for the truth to come out.

The industry is the most ingenious of any people on earth but also if the Prime Minister looks at them sideways or doesn’t rub their back on the daily or an environmentalist carries a picket sign then they are immediately DESTROYED and DOOMED. So strong! So wise! Yet so fragile.

Children trapped in Texas immigration facility recount nightmares, inedible food, no school A photo of Liam Conejo Ramos, a scared 5-year-old, drew attention to a detention center in Dilley, Texas. Advocates say his experience reflects what hundreds of children have endured out of public vie...

“Interviews with immigration lawyers, Liam’s father and the Vargas family and dozens of sworn declarations … describe a facility that functions far more like a prison than a child care center: constant surveillance, rigid schedules, overnight bed checks.” www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

They’re trying to run the Kilmar Abrego Garcia playbook with a five year old boy in a bunny hat because nobody can find peace if they embarrass the Trump administration publicly. Normal people didn’t like it with Garcia and they really aren’t going to like it for Liam.

Officials say they want more Epstein accountability. What they can do USA TODAY spoke to officials and victim lawyers about how Congress and the DOJ can bring transparency and accountability to the Jeffrey Epstein case.

"I did not think that the case could get worse than what I learned in 2009," Mitchell Epner, a former federal prosecutor who handed sex trafficking cases, told USA TODAY. "For the last 16 years, it has only gotten worse. ... They have exposed the victims and protected the perpetrators."

Anne Applebaum: "There are two purposes to the Georgia Raid. One of them is for Donald Trump to break as many laws as possible and let the courts try to catch up with him afterwards. It's also about creating a narrative, so if they lose the election - they are preparing to say it was stolen."

ICE detained multiple kids (all under the age of 10!) in the last week alone. Still kidnapping people based solely on the way they look. Still arresting parents at school pick up.

Nothing has changed in Minnesota. Nice words from the Admin won’t change that. ICE leaving will.

Smith demands more say in Alberta judicial appointments Premier threatens to withhold funding, says the appointment process needs reform

From someone who clamours a lot about governments staying in their own lane, this is equivalent to jumping the middle meridian on the highway: www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber... #ableg #cdnpoli

Some questions about this b/c it's not been the main opposition talking point and it's not obvious. So to break it down: voter registration drives usually involve people having you fill out the form and then they collect and turn those in. That's essential for it to be done at scale effectively.

Luke Ganger, Renee Good’s brother: “In the last few weeks, our family took some consolation thinking that perhaps ‘Nee’s death would bring about change in our country. It has not.”

The Real Reason ICE Agents Wear Masks Face-coverings may work less to protect federal agents from danger than to make it easier for them to do unconstitutional things.

Tear Gas Is Way More Dangerous Than Police Let On In the middle of a respiratory pandemic, law enforcement agencies have used tear gas in especially dangerous ways. The chemical agent also seeps into homes, contaminates food, furniture, skin and surf...

Tear gas is banned in international warfare, yet classified as a “riot control agent” that law enforcement can use for crowd control.

“It just doesn’t work well, and it hits the weakest people the most, and causes the most complications in them,” an anesthesiology professor at Duke University said.

Misoprostol is used in many aspects of OBGYN care (abortion, miscarriage management, cervical prep) and to treat ulcers. Methotrexate is used to treat ectopic pregnancies and in the management of autoimmune disorders like lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriasis.

In November of 2024, two weeks after voters returned President Donald Trump to office, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. summoned employees of the U.S. Supreme Court for an unusual announcement. Facing them in a grand conference room beneath ornate chandeliers, he requested they each sign a nondisclosure agreement promising to keep the court’s inner workings secret.

Jodi Kantor in the NY Times reports that the Chief Justice requested Court employees sign nondisclosure agreements in November 2024 - moving to formal contracts requiring silence/confidentiality after Trump was reelected: www.nytimes.com/2026/02/02/u...

Report: Trump Administration Met With Groups Pushing Alberta To Break With Canada

Members of the Trump administration reportedly met three times over the past year with a group leading a push for Alberta to secede from Canada
