So, I think it's - for many critiques - it's less anti-bureaucracy, and more appreciating bureaucracies as political actors rather than supposedly neutral technocracies.

i happily critique bureaucracy but more from the perspective that it's harmful to promote a hierarchy of expertise and promise 'neutral' or 'apolitical' operations. But the values of professionalisation over c.20th evolved to move away from aristocratic cultures of cronyism and corruption.

A “Striking” Trend: After Texas Banned Abortion, More Women Nearly Bled to Death During Miscarriage A new ProPublica data analysis adds to the mounting evidence that abortion bans have made the common experience of first-trimester miscarriage far more dangerous.

More women have nearly bled to death during miscarriage under Texas’ abortion ban.

Experts say the trend paints a troubling picture of the harms of unnecessary delays in care.

This comes as seven more deaths from malnutrition have been recorded in the past 24 hours by hospitals in Gaza, according to the Hamas-run Ministry of Health. It brings the total number of deaths caused by malnutrition to 154, including 89 children. On Tuesday, the number of Palestinians killed since the war began on 7 October 2023 surpassed 60,000, according to the Hamas-run Ministry of Health. Its numbers are considered reliable by the United Nations and international institutions. The figures mean that the war has left around one in 10 of Gaza’s 2.1 million Palestinians killed, injured or missing.

And it's almost certainly an undercount
