NEW: Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%.

Texas 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.

It’s official. My university who told me for all of the years I have been a faculty person they it valued diversity all of a sudden decided it no longer does without even attempting to resist a legally questionable executive order.

🧵"So this is how liberty dies..."

Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up.

I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

Stop calling it a “school choice” bill. It is a privatization bill. They don’t want your kids in their schools. Never have, never will. #TxLege

ICE agents are harassing and threatening Native Americans.

If this has happened to you, call my office at (202) 225-6190.

Trump said you can tell bad immigrants by what they “look” like. Tribal members look like the first Americans. Stop harassing them.

American Muslims voted 65-35 Biden Trump and 64-32 Harris Trump. This is per exit polling by AP and Fox in a joint project.

Majority of White Americans voted for Trump 3 elections in a row.

We need less propaganda and demonization of the American Muslim community and more unity against fascism.

I love this so much!

At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions.

This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.

I’m not watching. The 13th Amendment specifically says that I do not have to listen to white people on MLK Day. And I respect the Constitution.

Thoughts for the long game on U.S. Education policy. It starts with setting high, common outcome goals, including learning real science and math, and standards uniformly applied across any/all schools receiving public financing. Then, we must fund schools to achieve those outcomes.

Unsurprisingly, the majority of corporate media is either wholly ignoring or barely covering President Carter's relentless advocacy for Palestine against Israel's illegal military occupation.

So I wrote about President Carter's calls for justice for Palestine: www.qasimrashid.com/p/president-...
