"Our new analysis shows that it is far more dangerous to be pregnant than to have an abortion, and this gap in mortality risk is even larger than previously recognized.” - lead study author Maria Steenland.
In fact, the mortality risk of pregnancy is 44 to 70 times higher than from abortion.
Risk of maternal death during pregnancy greatly underestimated, study finds
A new study comparing deaths of pregnant people and of those who have an abortion show that risk of death due to pregnancy is three times higher than previously estimated.

Brb gonna pass a law saying Tom Homan can’t take $50K in bribes because I’m sure that will be effective

"in theater"
Q: Can you be specific about how many ICE and CBP agents are currently operating in the state?

HOMAN: 3,000. There's been some rotations. They've been in theater a long time. Day after day, can't eat in restaurants, people spin on you, blowing whistles at you. But my main focus now is draw down

Look, the whole city is mobilized around this. If he was removed, it wasn't for posts or riding with journos. He was either deeply abrasive in a disruptive way, did something horrible, or made a random group of mostly non-activist neighbors think he was a risk.

"I know I'm violating rules established for operational security by telling you about this, but I really have no idea why these folks don't trust me." Is that so, Will?
just deeply, humiliatingly stupid.

My 7yo daughter’s best friends’ family fled the country a few weeks ago. Today she came home with a drawing of her and another friend blowing whistles at ICE agents.

“We’re blowing the whistles and so ICE will go away and our friends can come back,” she said.

I started sobbing uncontrollably.

At least some of the community's concerns. I think the people of Minneapolis deserve more respect than automatically assuming they're just not as smart as Will and acting in bad faith. If he still wants to tail them, he can.

It's not just "stand up to ICE when you see them," it's building many vast networks of support and trust to
- create safe spaces
- protect schools
- get kids TO school
- check on neighbors
- deliver groceries
- help pay the rent
- let people know of danger
- feed the helpers, too!
- and on and on

and an informal list of other school parents willing to take classmates for a night or two if it's necessary. We would do that if course but i don't think our school would ever think to ask unless it was thought through ahead of time.

The harping about 2020 was never about the past. It was and is about the future: using a lie about a "stolen election" to actually steal elections.
Trump Is Still Obsessed with Stealing Elections
The FBI’s seizure of Georgia ballots is as much about future elections as past ones.

Rotations, in theater, drawdown. I’m curious where Homan, who was never in the military and never had anything to do with the GWOT, is getting this language.

So teachers now need to be establishing safe code words with parents? Because that is what I’m getting from this.

Please refer to this full thread for context I just need to say that every training that I've been to has emphasized that it's not about personal glory or saviorism.

Rapid response is not community defense or a protest movement itself, it's there to document ice activity and help neighbors
I think this is precisely backwards. the exact thing that has united Minnesota right now is that this ISN'T another in an endless succession of social justice campaigns, but a fight against one very specific abuse: our own government conducting, for all intents and purposes, a siege against us
It's about being there for vulnerable people. It's not about the individual. Beating ICE is like the end game, this is going to go on for years and it's more important to support your neighbor than it is to hate ICE though both are great things to do. Countering ICE is only a means to helping people

We've got secret police running around snatching children up and killing people in the streets, and ABC News is running an article about "a shadow network" of neighbors loving their neighbors.
Jesus weeping and throwing up Christ it's not a goddamned "shadow network" it's NEIGHBORS protecting their NEIGHBORS

A lot of people believe that being in the news is the work – that it's the most important part. That's an error, as Talia explains.

People are tightly focused on task. For everyone's safety, they need to read the nuances of each situation. Folks who are risking their lives get to call the shots.
These folks doing rapid response have been very clear: they don’t need press showing up. They film everything themselves. Press make those spaces more difficult to navigate - vulnerable people getting documented, volatile agents getting upset because they have more people surrounding them.

These aren’t naive conclusions to come to by people simply ignorant to the value in journalism.

It’s pretty patronizing to think folks doing the work for months don’t have a lot of experience dealing with press, need you to tell them how important press coverage is. They know!
