Women With High-Risk Pregnancies Have Limited Options Under Abortion Bans
[[link removed]]
For over a year, we’ve been writing about pregnant women who have died in states that banned abortion after Roe v. Wade was overturned. And we’ve been trying to better understand: Who are the women who are most likely to suffer because of these new laws?
Many of the early cases we uncovered involved fast-moving emergencies. While women were miscarrying, they needed procedures to quickly empty their uterus, and, tragically, they didn’t get them in time.
Yet we know that dangerous miscarriages like these are relatively rare events. What are far more common, experts have told us, are high-risk pregnancies, often on account of underlying health issues. Each year, hundreds of thousands of women enter pregnancy with chronic conditions that put them at an elevated risk of long-term complications and, in some cases, death. For those who live in states that have banned abortion, their options are now severely limited.

Democrats condemn trauma and terror of Trump’s ICE surge in Minnesota
[[link removed]]
The gathered lawmakers and officials on Friday labeled their special panel hearing “Kidnapped and Disappeared: Trump’s deadly assault on Minnesota”.
Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, who has been singled out for vitriolic and racist public attacks by Trump, decried aggressive treatment of residents, including US citizens, and their vehicles by federal agents and officers.
“Dozens of US citizens have been taken into custody and released hours later. We have yet to see charges materialize, because in nearly all instances, no federal charges are possible,” Omar said, adding that others were taken from their own vehicles.
“Abandoned cars with broken windows have become a normal sight of daily life in the Twin Cities,” she said, referring to the adjacent cities of Minneapolis and St Paul.
Kaohly Her, the mayor of St Paul, was pointed. “We are ground zero for Trump’s war on America, a war on our democracy, on our freedoms, on our rights as Americans,” she said.

📌 Joshua Colangelo-Bryan presents Through the Gates of Hell in Conversation with Keith Ellison
* Through the Gates of Hell is an account of the legal and security issues that arose as he represented GTMO prisoners, but even more, its focus is on the unlikely friendship he forged with Jaber Muhammed, a detainee there who was among those branded by Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld as the “most dangerous, best-trained, vicious killers on the face of the earth.” Despite dehumanizing conditions within the world’s most infamous detention center, the two men forge a profound bond in their shared pursuit of justice. It’s a rare story about humanity and friendship at GTMO, and about what it takes to fight for human rights in the face of demagoguery and the demonization of entire groups of people.
