I did not expect good faith in this effort at a second Tuskegee, but this exceeded even my expectations.

This is the sort of thing I'm referring to when I use the term "policy-based evidence-making."

Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared. ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis is the most detailed look yet into a rise in life-threatening complications for women experiencing pregnancy loss under Texas’ abortion ban.

Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%.

To my surprise, CDC is still tracking how many children RFK condemns to measles. Cases are getting younger and, of course, it is spreading faster.

We can't fall into right-wing populism’s lie that the most vulnerable in society are to blame for wealth inequality in our countries. We need to build movements that tell the truth: the story of wealth inequality is not a cultural one, but a class one.

ICE deportation flights are getting longer and crueler A private equity–owned airline profits off Trump’s migrant crackdown.

A private equity–owned airline is profiting from Trump’s migrant crackdown. Now, deportation flights are getting longer and crueler as a result.

Migrants said they sometimes soil themselves in their seats. Even when permitted to use the lavatory, it's difficult to clean themselves while shackled.

How ICE Crackdowns Are Disrupting Health Care This Medical News article discusses how the ongoing crackdown by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement is preventing some patients from obtaining health care.

The presence of ICE agents in and around medical settings is keeping some US immigrantsβ€”both documented and undocumentedβ€”away, disrupting care and putting their health at risk.
