Maternal Mortality, Woke, Liberal Media, and Scam

In Losing, I rant about how terrible child and maternal mortality is in the United States. Here is an interesting article about the latter by Kevin Drum (whose photo of the Milky Way is in Losing).

I've read Kevin since he started blogging twenty years ago. He is ten years older than I am and is a good barometer of an educated, well-off, older male liberal. Not a swing voter, but much closer than the typical liberal on Twitter.* Several recent examples:  Louisiana governor wants to prosecute women who seek abortions |  Here is the new dictionary definition of woke.

Yikes.
