I see what they’re going for but maybe there’s a better product/revenue source than something that is overwhelmingly purchased as a necessity by parents of babies and toddlers.

the reason things like the Climate Corps was a good idea was so that america's young men could do this Survivorman fantasy in the woods without making it everyone else's problem

i've decided not to listen to the audio of a teacher reporting a kindergartender because frankly I don't want to become the person that that event would turn me into. but one thing I hope we are collectively coming to grips with is what it meant that we have lived among such people this whole time

it is incredibly unsurprising that the average American can’t identify lesser known Nazi symbols. the average American couldn’t put Germany on a map! people interested in history/politics have a very, very poor grasp of this fact.

very funny that the White House defense of that video is essentially β€œno no, the staffer meant to post it to his personal account”

Great piece, and pleasantly surprised to realize the author also wrote one of my favorite reads from last year, β€œThe Inland Sea.”

What I Saw at a Maternity Ward in Kenya After the U.S. Cut Off Food and Foreign Aid Photographs tell a story of two mothers determined to help their babies gain enough weight to leave the hospital β€” only to face little to no food again.

Expectant mothers were left so hungry after the U.S. cut foreign food aid that one woman ate clay and charcoal.

Her baby struggled to gain weight after being born prematurely.

Antisemitism is a lot like Qanon child abuse conspiracies in that there’s this real and bad phenomenon and, parallel to that, what can only be described as a large scale mass psychosis about a mostly fictional version of the same phenomenon

It's interesting that wise conservative business guys implicitly understand "return on investment" except when it comes to this. It's better for YOU if your neighbor gets enough to eat so he can become your community's mechanic, accountant, dentist--whatever!--instead of lying dead in a ditch

Big thing I hope comes back in this front is earnest questions. It became really gauche or even offensive to ask about people’s traditions or differences but I think creating opportunities for learning is a good thing!

Underrated discomfort in pregnancy is that I can’t like, cross my arms anymore, or rest a phone/laptop when lying down. The weight pushing down gives me immediate acid/nausea. The little things!

On June 24, I began my Election Night speech by quoting Mandela: β€œIt always seems impossible until it’s done.” That's the spirit of this campaign, and our city.

This is "Until It’s Done,” a new series about New Yorkers who refused to accept that a worthy goal was impossible.

RFK Jr: It's gonna be the biggest infusion of federal dollar into rural healthcare in American history

BERNIE SANDERS: Yeah. You know why? Because you're cutting $150b for rural hospitals, you're putting $50b back. That's not an infusion. That's a loss of $100b.
