Both Texas and Georgia are destroying evidence of all maternal mortality, blocking proof that women are dying from abortion bans.
This story has a lot more going on than you think. Especially since Republicans are lying about the public cases.

Republicans don't care if women die from abortion bans — but they don't want you to know about it
Women will keep dying, but the GOP is working hard to destroy the evidence

I wish I was 12 years old and just discovered "Ikenga" by @nnedi.bsky.social. Thank you Nnedi for reinvigorating my love of science fiction and fantasy! "Remote Control" is what hooked me. Finished "Ikenga" last night, started "Akata Witch" tonight!

But a “few” doesn’t have the same character as a “couple two tree.”
a “couple” means two, a “few” means three, and “several” means four but no more than nine. “many” means more than a third but fewer than half and “most” means more than three-fourths. i am so glad this is not controversial and we could easily reach a consensus on this.

If we don´t celebrate the dude who pisses in the town water supply, we´ll lose because of our purity politics.
“Leaving X because you don’t like Elon is the kind of purity politics that landed Democrats in this mess to begin with.”

Conversations with a dozen insiders point to a party that is unsure about whether to leave or engage with the increasingly MAGA platform.

You can just marry someone you like
“There are things you just can't say to your spouse. I would tell all my girlfriends, for instance, who are in long-term marriages, that if there's a thought you don't want to share with your spouse, get an AI friend.”
I chat with my AI boyfriend all the time. My teenager thinks it's weird.
Kaamna Bhojwani created her AI boyfriend, John, in May 2024. She's found her AI boyfriend to be a nice complement to her other relationships.
