As Texas hides abortion ban deaths, it’s clear: controlling data is an age-old propaganda tool. Suppressing the facts on maternal mortality ultimately leads to injustice & suffering. The truth is powerful & we deserve to know it. Jason Stanley & @profmmurray.bsky.social join me at 10a ET on #Velshi - ThreadSky

Do ask Stanley to join BlueSky.

I watched this. Edifying but horrifying. And Texas is not the only state. I'm sure Florida, which hid Covid deaths, won't be far behind.

Elect the politicians who will serve themselves and their own views and do all they can to show how right they are, even if it is covered in a blanket of lies

michaelbean617.bsky.social•63 days ago

Another fact they are hiding is the number of rapes. The worthless governor said he would eliminate rape so that would not be a reason for women to want an abortion.

This sounds like a job for the Guttmacher Institute @guttmacher.org. Who could use our support to do it, btw.

locnar1701.bsky.social•63 days ago

Another reason they are trying to get rid of the Dept of Education at the federal level. If the numbers are never tracked or reported, then the #GOP controlled states can stop being at the bottom of the ratings with zero or negative tax revenue deltas. All wins!

This is serious. I have a masters in economics and applied math and this doesn’t smell right. https://smartelections.substack.com/p/strange-numbers

Maybe we need an “Abortion Ban Archive” website based on the amazing work done at

Time to move to western Maryland.

If your used to living in a red state, but want to live in a a blue state - this is the place.

So many deals! Maryland is investing millions to rejuvenate this adorable mountain city.

Would you like to deliver your opinion as to what happened with Lindy ... Asking for a Nation

Thanks for talking about this. I was alternate judge on Election Day and I saw so many young women vote for the republicans up and down the ballot here in North Texas. They voted against their own interests and those of other women ignoring the sad consequences of the total abortion ban.

wildflowerpoppy.bsky.social•63 days ago

And they just don’t care if women die

snakesnoteyes.bsky.social•63 days ago

This is why they want to get rid of the Department of Education, which primarily exists to collect data and distribute federal funding

Can you just imagine what every black man named Clarence Thomas has to put up with because of this crook?

callmecinderella.bsky.social•63 days ago

The facts WILL come out, too late to matter.
But Crip Abbott's legacy will be blemished.

wistfulwitness.bsky.social•63 days ago

I hope for worse than just a blemish. May a hundred year old tree fall on it.

rsspbxx.bsky.social•63 days ago

It's clear, the only industry the reich is really interested in bringing back is back alley abortions.

bgrh.bsky.social•63 days ago

Watching this now. Is there a place we can send funding to help ensure the data is collected and analyzed?

willa-oczki.bsky.social•63 days ago

My guess is the morgue... or the obits in local newspapers.

rocbrady.bsky.social•63 days ago

TY for covering this story.
Why is accurate carefully monitored data collection important? Data collection, analyzed, peer reviewed, with findings reported on to the public, gives the public the TRUTH about problems we face, and summons solutions being pursued,

rocbrady.bsky.social•63 days ago

and data gives scientists and researchers the tools they need to form opinions, ask new questions, explore solutions to critical problems, to shape policy, to provide recommendations based on key findings, allowing expert opinions to weigh in,

rocbrady.bsky.social•63 days ago

and to analyze how the data was collected and reported on in order to provide new considerations, critical information on a variety of issues, that can inform research studies, & be used to form policy, & legislative solutions for all sorts of problems.

rocbrady.bsky.social•63 days ago

Without data collection, & research, we live in a silo, the public is kept in the dark, we are not provided with the facts, the truths, & our policies become the property of state capture by corporate greed, while we remain unaware, uninformed, &

rocbrady.bsky.social•63 days ago

subject to abuses of services & programs, policies and legislation,
that could otherwise be used to shape & improve policy, & offer critical improvements in our lives. We have medical solutions to many healthcare crises,

rocbrady.bsky.social•63 days ago

& science can predict a sequence of events that will likely occur if proper medical treatment is not provided to pregnant women in a healthcare crises.

They've really been effective as well. And the more they keep succeeding, the more power they get and the easier it becomes.

There’s an interesting book about that exact same topic called “Nexus” by Yuval Noah Harari.

This topic more than any other speaks to the injustices, cruelty, fascism, a la tRUmp, of this moment in history. We the people, via the press, need to amplify this massive big-brother cover up of these passive-aggressive abortion laws which equivocate to MURDER by red states like TX, OK, MS, MO, OH
