ProPublica reported in September on the deaths of Amber Thurman and Candi Miller, which the state maternal mortality review committee had determined were preventable. And now Georgia's maternal mortality committee has been dismissed.

Georgia officials have dismissed all members of a state committee charged with investigating deaths of pregnant women. The move came in response to ProPublica having obtained internal reports detailing two deaths. ProPublica reported in September on the deaths of Amber Thurman and Candi Miller, which the state maternal mortality review committee had determined were preventable. They were the first reported cases of women who died without access to care restricted by a state abortion ban, and they unleashed a torrent of outrage over the fatal consequences of such laws. The women's stories became a central discussion in the presidential campaign and ballot initiatives involving abortion access in 10 states.

BIG NEWS: A Wyoming judge just struck down WY's abortion bans. And get this: The judge invoked a constitutional amendment codifying a right to make health care decisions... that was passed in 2012 by conservatives who thought it'd screw Obamacare! Just backfired. We explained this lawsuit here:

How Attacks Against Obamacare Turned Into Tools to Protect Abortion Access

Conservatives amended state constitutions to affirm broad rights for people to choose their health care. Now abortion rights proponents are taking them at their word.

No. The 2nd amendment isn’t so private citizens could fight the government. That’s a right wing lie. It was for slave holding states to form militias against slave rebellions and defend slavery. — Historian Carol Anderson Uncovers The Racist Roots Of The 2nd Amendment www.npr.org/2021/06/02/1...

If this MSNBC story about courts-martial is confirmed, I'm begging people - especially writers and reporters - do not fall for the Trump line that this is about Afghanistan. This is about Trump seeking revenge on the people who woudn't him do things like shoot American protesters.

The key to the long term success of this app will be for it to smoothly transition from its initial hype and user base to become a true digital “town square.” To that end, anyone with influence should encourage fellow musicians, artists, athletes, organizations, sports teams, etc to join.

This place has now become big enough to do what Muskland used to do — give me a sense of what smart people are thinking and, importantly, what they don't know. For example, it turns out that many aren't aware that it's well established that most people don't connect wage growth with inflation 1/
