Can’t talk about #womenshealth w/o mentioning #maternal death -unfortunately on the rise in America...how does one of the richest countries have the highest rate of maternal & infant mortality?🧵npr.org/sections/healt… @acog @ACOGPregnancy
We have high c-sx rates, low prenatal care, high chronic disease rates in our mothers. Post-partum care is a single visit at 6 weeks. Working pregnant moms may opt to induce labor for the 'convenience' of optimizing their leave...
Speaking of leave, the US is the one of the ONLY industrialized countries to NOT have ANY paid parental leave. If that doesn't reveal value in a society, I don't know what does. Punchline: the value isn't in family. No wonder our divorce rates and rates of mental health and… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

#Engel suunnitteli tämän rakennuksen #Senaatintori'n ladalle, mutta #venäläiset rakensivat sen.
- Kuten #siionisti'en määräämät #Lenin- ja #RauhanPatsas poistot, tämä häpeällinen 'valtioneuvoston linna', olisi enempien miljardi -tuhojen estämiseksi poistettava #WTC911 tapaan. Image
Niinsanotun 'Valtioneuvoston', linna
- Eugen #Schauman ampui kenraalikuvernööri Nikolai #Bobrikovin kuoliaaksi linnan toisen kerroksen tasanteella vuonna 1904. Surmapaikalle on myöhemmin kiinnitetty muistolaatta.

Excerpts from "'America’s Post-Pandemic Geography' - Covid-19 is transforming all types of communities, from big cities to suburbs to rural areas" - from the Summer 2021 Issue of @CityJournal - by @Richard_Florida & @joelkotkin. A #Thread.

The article → city-journal.org/americas-post-…
1. "The #Pandemic will pass...But in geographic terms, today’s Covid-precipitated crises may well prove to be the most transformative event that #America has experienced since the great migration to the suburbs after World War II."
2. "....centrifugal forces pull some people out of #Cities: families seek more #Affordable space, backyards, and access to better schools. With the wider scope of choice that #RemoteWork affords, some are casting their nets wider and moving farther afield..."

In 2017 we looked at #racial resentments and #racist sentiments among white #PoliceOfficers. "We know that officers are much more likely to search and arrest black citizens for drugs... and murder black citizens."

1/ Q: Talk to me about history. What historical factors contributed to many U.S. cities becoming highly segregated, and how is this related to the #racial inequities in #COVID19 we are seeing today?
2/ A: In the interview linked to below, Reggie Jackson, Head Griot of America's Black Holocaust Museum, describes 4 discriminatory housing policies and practices common in the first half of the 20th Century.

3/ Note that all of these were completely legal up until the Fair Housing Act of 1968--just 52 years ago. These practices and policies played a major role in creating the patterns of racial segregation seen today in Milwaukee and many other U.S. cities.

Still processing the powerful discussion we had today in our #MA @ARUSociology session on #DecolonisingtheUniversity. A student shared her experiences of growing up in apartheid South Africa & feeling validated & 'seen' by the reading material. Became emotional as she talked
about how #apartheid affected her secondary & higher education in South Africa. Another shared his experiences of racism & racial abuse at his place of work in London, and how he'd envisioned a different kind of life in the UK when he migrated from Nigeria three years

1. On Friday 6th June 1919, there was a #RaceRiot in the city of #Newport in #Gwent, #SouthWales. What happened in #Newport had a huge overwhelming effect on #RaceRelations for years to come. Here's a clipping from @nytimes about the #riot
2. As @renireni pointed out in Why I'm No Longer Talking to White People About Race:

"Riots always seem to kick off in the summer." 🔥🔥🔥

In 1919, there were riots in:

🔸#Chicago
🔸#Baltimore
🔸#Omaha
🔸#Newport
🔸#Liverpool

+ and more

3. According to the #history, a #black man insulted a #white woman in #Newport, which lead to an altercation. It kicked off in #GeorgeStreet [see below], where 3000 white people formed into a mob and attacked the houses of the two black people on the street.
