Women living in states that banned abortion are 2x more likely to die during pregnancy, childbirth or soon after.
Black women in banned states were 3.3x as likely to die as white mothers in those states.
New report from Gender Equity Policy Institute:
GEPI reports inform and add substance to policy discussions and decisions. Urgently needed and crucial.
Mothers are twice as likely to die during pregnancy in states that banned abortion. At the same time, maternal mortality rates declined in supportive states. @19thnews.org's Shefali Luthra (@shefali.bsky.social) broke down the data from @thegepi.org’s new report.

Chuck Schumer says he has achieved peace in our time
You and your family are less safe tonight because Donald Trump's penis is so devastatingly small.
Volodymyr Zelensky's Oval Office visit ended early when Donald Trump and JD Vance began angrily yelling at him. Here's why women like Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton are too emotional to be president.
You know we could've just been going about our lives as the economy steadily grew, our alliances continued to be strong, and we didn't have to worry about a psychopath running the country every day
What my boss said
Obama and Biden may think they are honoring the office of the presidency by keeping quiet at a moment like this — if so that’s just preening vanity — they owe it to the office and to the Republic that until last month it served to speak up loudly and clearly and without relent.

Congratulations to Trump on securing a $1.3 billion border security deal from Canada.... which was already negotiated in December 2024.
The DNC voted for status quo. Useless. It is on all of us plus lawyers and whistleblowers and individual leaders like @govpritzker.illinois.gov … don’t hope the unimprovable improve, find alternatives and back them
It’s infuriating

Oh I do not enjoy this, but Adam Kinzinger is spot on! Where is my party???!
DO SOMETHING, Senator! Do something. NOW. STOP WHINGING. AND TAKE ACTION. Perhaps you’d like to lead the party???! I am telling you your own constituents (like me!) are FURIOUS. Step it up!
ATTN: VA EMPLOYEES. I would recommend against using the Office of Accountability & Whistleblower Protection. In 2019, the VA Inspector General found that Trump used OAWP to TARGET whistleblowers. Contact democrats on congressional veterans affairs committees instead.
The two strains are inextricably interrelated. Carry on.
The thing to understand about Trump is like in his first term, he doesn’t want to govern. He doesn’t want to learn. He wants to campaign and look good.
Republicans know this. So there are battles going on right now to take control of the actual process of governing.

I’m increasingly interested in something called The Tolerance Paradox, which is related to what you write. If we tolerate intolerance we give it room to grow.

Yes, Jennifer Rubin. To all of it.
Dems/media condemning Joe for pardoning Hunter right after a psycho who has spent 4 years ranting that he was going to go after him is the most toxic kind of phony virtue signaling imaginable. Don’t forget to pat yourselves on the back from your perches on the moral high ground.
Thank you for sharing this. Devastating. Will it matter?
