Federal judge has ordered the release of Liam Ramos (the bunny hat boy) and his father. A brief and rather remarkable order. Clearly written to be shared widely, so please do. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Sad. Risk of maternal death during pregnancy greatly underestimated, study finds, "The new analysis found that the mortality risk from pregnancy (including up to one year postpartum) is 44 to 70 times higher than the mortality risk from abortion" www.brown.edu/news/2026-01...
Risk of maternal death during pregnancy greatly underestimated, study finds
A new study comparing deaths of pregnant people and of those who have an abortion show that risk of death due to pregnancy is three times higher than previously estimated.

if I may, madame @mayorbowser.dc.gov and whoever else can make things happen in #dc: how about tasking the bored #NationalGuard roaming our streets with shoveling the ice so that pedestrians and cars and bikes can get by? And maybe our trash may be picked up??

A #painting you might like. "Pier Fishing" came out of all the times I've gone to a pier and some young woman or young man was there before me owning the world and its oceans, and I would quietly watch. While this particular scene was in Antrim it was inspired by many piers. #art #SpeirGhorm #scape
