White mothers in America died at a rate of 19 per 100,000 in 2022. By contrast, <br>💥Black mothers died at a rate of 49.5 per 100,000, or roughly 2.5 times the rate of white Americans.💥<br>🔥Nearly every demographic group of American mothers dies at a higher rate than all mothers in peer nations. <br>Norway, for instance, did not document a single maternal death. The United Kingdom, which conducts an in-depth investigation into every death, counted 5.5 maternal deaths per 100,000.<br>Notably, most of the deaths of American mothers <br>– more than 80% <br>– are <a href="https://c.im/tags/preventable" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>preventable</span></a>, according to CDC data cited by the Commonwealth report.</p><p><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/article/2024/jun/05/maternal-mortality-rate?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theguardian.com/global-develop</span><span class="invisible">ment/article/2024/jun/05/maternal-mortality-rate?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other</span></a></p>
Panopticola<p>Today is an international day to celebrate the solidarity of workers in a world run by owners.</p><p>The revolution is happening, right now, all around us. It feels slow. The oligarchs are taking off their masks and more openly squashing and grabbing. I think it's a sign of both confidence because of the increasing disparity, and fear because of the popular acceptance of guillotine jokes.</p><p>Today, Oxfam points out that stock dividend payouts since 2020 increased fourteen (yes 14) times more than wages, globally. 'Follow the money' to understand the economy.</p><p>We haven't reached phase shift yet. We are everywhere and steadily building towards that key 9% unity or whatever it is that we need in the way of global consensus. </p><p>I just keep thinking about how truth is stranger than fiction.

Vincent Traag<p>Nature recently introduced new guidelines for studies engaging with questions of race, ethnicity or gender.
