RFK Jr. rolled out that old chestnut again about how healthy Americans were in the 60’s, so here’s a fact check.

In 1965:

-42% of American adults smoked; it’s 11% now.

-The infant morality rate was 24.7/1000; it’s 5.6/1000 now.

-Overall life expectancy was 70 years; it's about 77 years now.

Disabled people are 11 times more likely to die during labor/in the postpartum period than non-disabled people. Better education and smashing ableism is how we get out of this horrible stat.

For the past year, I’ve been looking into the topic of disability and pregnancy for @motherjones.com 🧵
Pregnancy is a minefield when you're disabled
Few OB-GYNs get disability training—and their disabled patients are far likelier to die.

Republicans want to pay for tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires, so they're pushing plans that will force kids and families to go hungry or without healthcare.

Unbelievable.

UW-Madison lost at least $12.6 million in federal NIH grant funding after four grants were canceled last month, including one that studied the impact of social media on youth mental health and brain development. Another canceled grant focused on developing vaccines to protect against coronaviruses.
