🧵 from @jasonbjackson.bsky.social about his new book!

Very excited that we have made this announcement as an LPE community!

Nayra Guzmán was 15 days post C-section — going to see her baby in the NICU — when she was taken to Broadview and held in custody for about 34 hours. She slept on a bench and barely got food. She couldn't pump. Her story is a rare window into the growing detention of pregnant & postpartum people.

This #WorldAIDSDay explore how feminist lawyers and activists altered the legal and public health response to the AIDS epidemic with @azizaahmed.bsky.social#WorldAIDSDays 'Risk and Resistance' (out now). Read the first chapter at the link below: https://cup.org/4rgLqVO #LawSky #WomenAlsoKnowLaw #BookSky

Today is World AIDS Day. Activism was key to how the public came to know about AIDS and why $ and resources were dedicated to addressing the epidemic. My book documents some of the activists who brought about changes to science, medicine, and law.  www.cambridge.org/core/books/r...   #WorldAIDSDay

NEW: ProPublica has found multiple cases of women with underlying health conditions who died when they couldn’t access abortions. Tierra Walker, a 37-year-old mother, was told by doctors there was no emergency before preeclampsia killed her.

As trust in the federal government's stewardship of US public health infrastructure plummets, NEJM and CIDRAP are launching a rival publication to the CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. Story by @aniloza.bsky.social www.statnews.com/2025/10/21/c...

ICE’s own policies say the agency should not detain pregnant, postpartum or nursing individuals. It’s doing so anyway. Immigrants’ health is suffering. Congress has abandoned a requirement that ICE make public how many such immigrants have been detained. 19thnews.org/2025/10/ice-...

Our two papers on abortion bans and fertility/infant mortality are now out. In 14 states w/ abortion bans, fertility increased 1.7% and infant mortality increased 6%. Key takeaway is that these impacts were disproportionately felt among those w/ greatest structural disadvantages. Links below.

Put simply, limiting abortion care undermines reproductive health care. RFK Jr. may say that he wants you to be healthy again, but he means unless you are pregnant, in which case you’ll be left to face sickness or death under his HHS. from @azizaahmed.bsky.social www.thenation.com/article/soci...

I've written about RFK, HHS, and abortion in @thenation.com. With thanks to Regina Mahone! www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Today @azizaahmed.bsky.social joins me & @uvalaw.bsky.social 3L Nia Saunders to discuss her forthcoming book, Risk and Resistance: How Feminists Transformed the Law and Science of AIDS, forthcoming Cambridge University Press, 2025. A great time! www.buzzsprout.com/1227113/epis...
