Well, let’s see. We can pretty easily find the 2009 violent crime rate data for US cities over 100,000 people[1][1][1][1] and 2017 state-level violent crime data,[2][2][2][2]which isn’t completely comparable but let’s go with it keeping in mind that crime rates generally have been falling over that period.Here’s a list interleaving cities over 500,000 people and states with no city over 500,000 people (to try to eliminate cases of a city dominating the crime rate for the state). Data is crimes/100,000 populationDetroit, 2057Baltimore, 2027Memphis, 2003Milwaukee, 1983Albuquerque, 1369Indianapolis, 1334Nashville, 1138Chicago, 1099Houston, 1095Washington, DC 949Philadelphia 948Alaska 829Tucson 801Oklahoma City 787New Mexico 783Dallas 775I’ve marked some cities that aren’t generally considered terribly “liberal leaning” in italics and yes, the usual suspects are near the top. Baltimore, St. Louis, Detroit, Chicago.But other very “liberal leaning” cities are conspicuously absent. Where’s NYC? LA? San Francisco? Seattle? Boston?LA is 761, between New Mexico (783) and Tennessee (662)San Francisco is 715, also between New Mexico and Tennessee.Boston is 669, just above Tennessee.Seattle is 632, between TN and Louisiana (557)NYC is 539, between Arkansas (559) and Missouri (530)Portland is 516, between Alabama (524) and Arizona (508)Austin is 414, basically equal to Kansas (413)So….some “liberal leaning” cities have crime problems. Others have less crime than the much more rural conservative-leaning states.Why, it’s almost as though political leaning wasn’t a major determinant in crime rates.Footnotes[1] List of United States cities by crime rate - Wikipedia[1] List of United States cities by crime rate - Wikipedia[1] List of United States cities by crime rate - Wikipedia[1] List of United States cities by crime rate - Wikipedia[2] Reported violent crime rate in the U.S. by state 2017 | Statista[2] Reported violent crime rate in the U.S. by state 2017 | Statista[2] Reported violent crime rate in the U.S. by state 2017 | Statista[2] Reported violent crime rate in the U.S. by state 2017 | Statista

Who was the best president in regards to Native American relations?Alysa Landry, of Indian Country Today Media Network, did a series of 44 articles on every US President’s actions and attitudes towards Native people in the US up to 2017. There is not one “best” president. Most did very little good and many did a lot terrible. Here are the top “best for Native people” Presidents and what they did:Nixon—called for a new policy of “self-determination without termination,” instigating lasting changes in federal-Indian relationships. Outlined nine specific changes in federal policy, including restoration of some Native lands, funding for reservation-based health care programs, expansion of programs for urban Indians and creation of a cabinet-level position for an assistant secretary of Indian Affairs. Signed a bill returning the sacred Blue Lake in New Mexico to the Taos Pueblo. Signed the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act, which transferred 44 million acres of land to Alaska Natives. The act also called for $962.5 million in compensation and led to the incorporation of more than 200 indigenous villages. Signing 52 legislative measures to support sovereignty. Signed the Menominee Restoration Act, ending the tribe’s termination status and restoring its right to self-determination. Increased the BIA budget by more than 200 percent, doubled funds for Indian health care and created the Office of Indian Water Rights.

As a result, federal agencies rallied unprecedented devotion to Indian Affairs and accomplished more for Indians than any other administration in history. “Virtually every agency improved somehow in what it did for Indian country,” Washburn said. “By the second or third Tribal Nations Conference, secretaries knew they had to deliver. That made them keenly aware of Indians. The conference drove policy like nothing has before.” Signed the Tribal Law and Order Act, expanding punitive authority of tribal courts and working to reduce violent crime, especially against women.Signed the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People. Signed a bill settling for $3.4 billion a lawsuit filed by Elouise Cobell on behalf of 300,000 Indians who alleged the federal government mismanaged trust accounts. The $680 million Keepseagle settlement in 2010, and by 2012. The Justice and Interior departments had reached settlements totaling more than $1 billion with 41 tribes for claims of mismanagement.

The law extended to all tribes equal autonomy, including the rights to levy taxes and handle law enforcement on Indian lands. Became the first sitting president since Franklin D. Roosevelt to visit an Indian reservation. Appointed Ada Deer as assistant secretary for Indian Affairs. Deer, Menominee, was the first Native woman to hold the office. Signed Public Law 103-150, an apology to Native Hawaiians for the United States’ overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii.

Designated the first national Native American heritage month, and proclaimed 1992 the “Year of the American Indian.” Relegated “to the history books” the concepts of forced Indian termination and excessive dependency on the federal government. Signed the Native American Languages Act of 1990, which sought to reverse the effects of previous policies calling for suppression or extermination of Native languages and cultures. Declared it federal policy to “preserve, protect and promote the rights and freedom of Native Americans to use, practice and develop Native American languages.” Signed the Indian Arts and Crafts Act, a truth-in-advertising law that prohibits the misrepresentation of products as Indian-made.

First president to deliver a special message to Congress on the problems of Native Americans, titled “The Forgotten American.” He proposed “a new goal that ends the old debate about ‘termination’ of Indian programs and stresses self-determination; a goal that erases old attitudes of paternalism and promotes partnership.” Appointed Robert Bennett as commissioner of Indian Affairs.

This answer may contain sensitive images. Click on an image to unblur it.Women in the United States (U.S.) have a higher risk of dying during pregnancy and the postpartum period than women in any other industrialized country. Approximately three in five pregnancy-related deaths in the U.S. are preventable.1Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of maternal death and is responsible for >33% of pregnancy-related deaths, including cardiomyopathy (10.8%), other cardiovascular conditions (15.1%), and cerebrovascular accidents (7.6%).1 The national trend of increasing maternal age means that more women enter pregnancy with chronic medical conditions and cardiometabolic risk factors such as obesity, high blood pressure, and diabetes. Women who develop complications of pregnancy such as preeclampsia, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, and/or gestational diabetes are at risk of both adverse pregnancy outcomes and increased risk for cardiovascular disease following pregnancy.2In 2011, the American Heart Association released guidelines for postpartum follow-up after hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, gestational diabetes, and preterm labor, conditions known to increase risk for cardiovascular disease following pregnancy.3 Recently, there has been increasing attention to the growing need for cardio-obstetric teams to care for women with known cardiovascular risk factors both during and after pregnancy.4 This team-based approach, in which nurse navigators can play a key role, may help bridge a significant divide in the care of childbearing women with cardiovascular risk factors who are at greater risk of death during and after pregnancy.Maternal MortalityTo adequately decrease U.S. maternal mortality rates, it is essential to understand that the root causes are complex. Childbearing women of color, particularly Black and American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) women, die at disproportionate rates. From 2007-2016, the pregnancy-related mortality ratio for Black and AI/AN women aged > 30 years was approximately four to five times that of their White counterparts.5 Certainly, insufficient access to care, socioeconomic inequalities, and quality of care matter greatly. However, even among groups with higher levels of education and in states with lower maternal mortality rates, significant racial and ethnic disparities persisted, demonstrating that disparity in maternal mortality for women of color is a complex national problem5 and that racism, not race, is a likely risk factor. Implicit bias and structural racism impact the care that childbearing women receive in the U.S. health care system, and health care provider-level training may make a difference in uncovering and addressing biases that result in delayed or inappropriate maternal care.Coordination and collaboration among childbearing women, families, providers, maternal health advocates, health systems, and communities are needed to identify and implement prevention strategies to improve women’s health and access to quality care in the preconception, pregnancy, postpartum periods and the years beyond.ReferencesPetersen EE, Davis NL, Goodman D, Cox S, Mayes N, Johnston E, Syverson C, Seed K, Shapiro-Mendoza CK, Callaghan WM and Barfield W.

Obstetric emergencies, like severe bleeding and amniotic fluid embolism (when amniotic fluid enters a mother's bloodstream), cause most deaths at delivery. In the week after delivery, severe bleeding, high blood pressure and infection are most common.
