Let me be VERY clear for those of you in the back. If bringing down the largest child sex trafficking ring in our known history will "collapse the government as we know it," then the government as we know it needs to collapse.
Even Tefi pointed it out: KC didn’t apologize bc he was actually sorry. He apologized because movie night made him look bad to EVERYONE (villa & viewers) and he needed to save face bc he already painted himself to be a good guy. He wouldn’t have apologized like that otherwise.
I would say happy birthday, America, but unfortunately I love abortions and immigrants and public education and universal healthcare and Black people and the environment and not bombing children with my tax dollars.
Women giving birth in the United States are more likely to die than police officers are in the line of duty. And unlike police fatalities, which have hit an 80-year low, maternal mortality has more than doubled since the 1980s. That means a woman today is more likely to die in childbirth than her grandmother was. This is in a country that spends more on healthcare than anywhere else on earth.
The United States is the only wealthy nation where this trend is moving in the wrong direction. Every other developed country has continued improving.
We got worse. And according to the CDC, more than 80% of these deaths are preventable. We're not talking about medical mysteries. We're talking about failures in follow-up care, hemorrhage management, and access to treatment that other countries figured out decades ago.
The same men who flooded my comments this week saying women shouldn't vote are the ones who get to decide maternal healthcare policy. Women are dying at rates their grandmothers didn't, from things we know how to prevent, and the people blocking every solution have decided the people dying shouldn't have a political voice. And they're doing all they can to keep it that way.
Disheartened for Black Boys across America. You can be walking home, having your back turned, or sitting down minding your business and they will still find a way to make you a villain. Prayers for little Black Boys are needed because their lives are looked at as disposable.
