Dozens more pregnant and postpartum women have died in Texas hospitals since the state banned abortion, our analysis shows. As the maternal mortality rate dropped nationally, it rose in Texas by 33%.

propub.liTexas 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.

Wow. Watch this from Zohran Mamdani. It looks like the exact "fight" and "conviction" people are hopelessly asking for from the people in charge of the Democratic party:

"Normally, we treat each bullet point as a separate story. But they are all connected. We are witnessing an extraordinarily broad chilling effect in American society." Look at the length of these lists - this effort to intimidate and silence opposition is a key part of Trump II's authoritarianism.

New, from me: you were told that the threats to free speech came from wokeness. Some compared it to Maoist China. Now we are witnessing government power being used to silence dissent and censor ideas. Now we know what real society-wide chilling effects look like. 🧵 open.substack.com/pub/donmoyni...

It’s simple. Zelenskyy dresses in solidarity with his soldiers fighting a war started by Russia. Trump dresses in solidarity with billionaires fighting a war against US citizens.

These are sick sick people

C-PAC is a cult gathering, not a convention! This “Third Term Project” poster at CPAC is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. The same people who were screaming about “the deep state” are now openly fantasizing about a dictator-for-life.

Gaslighting is the entire GOP playbook. From ‘biggest crowd ever’ to ‘normal tourist visit,’ they’re betting you’ll ignore reality. If we allow them to keep rewriting history, they’ll keep burning the truth to the ground.

While we’re banning books… Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar. Be. Like. Finland.

Still waiting for free Palestine protesters to go after Trump like they went after Biden & Harris. WHERE YOU AT NOW? Trump tapped Mike Huckabee for Ambassador to Israel: “There’s really no such thing as a Palestinian.” Trump himself isn’t ruling out Israel’s annexation of the West Bank.

Assad in trouble!

Rebels are within 6km from Assad's palace. Locals are tearing down Assad images & signs 15 minutes from the Palace. Russia is fleeing Tartus port and Iran is evacuating forces. An emergency meeting to be held between Turkey, Iran, Russia, Iraq, Egypt, Jordan, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia. #freeSyria

Looks like Hegseth is soon headed for the exits. "There’s seven or eight [Republican] votes against him. It’s a matter of time," said on Republican Senator. The Hill: "Hegseth’s nomination to serve as secretary of Defense appears doomed." @alexanderbolton.bsky.social thehill.com/homenews/sen...

I’ve been sharing this image as evidence the left lost this election but it just dawned on me this could also be the result of successful voter suppression efforts.

So a reminder: It’s not ‘liberals’ saying Hegseth abuses women. It’s his mom. It’s not ‘liberals’ comparing Trump to Hitler. It’s his vice-president. It’s not ‘liberals’ calling Musk a liar and a racist. It’s his own child. For the record.
