Why America gave up on economists Both parties have turned their backs on traditional economic advice. Is the country paying the price?

Can’t say I’m convinced by the arguments here about why economists lost influence. I’d much rather hear what @epopppp.bsky.social has to say!

The Racist Worldview Behind the New Vaccine Recommendations ACIP’s recent decision to scrap hepatitis B vaccine recommendations for infants is inextricable from its advisers’ apparent belief that immigrants bring disease.

More excellent science journalism by @melodyschreiber.com. It really is racism all the way down.

I loved The Change (on Prime Video and Britbox, I think)

I am so looking forward to reading this! The Bundists are my people.

Gift guide: I am not a podcaster, and you will quickly see why this is not paid. But for the right parent Storyworth is a great gift. As my mother's Alzheimer's kicked in, my sister and I got her a Storyworth subscription. It works just like they say: Mom got a prompt each week via email >

I really do love teaching, and I had two great groups of students this semester. But I’m TIRED and looking forward to getting back to writing.

Your Rights The laws enforced by EEOC provide five basic rights for job applicants and employees who work in the United States. The laws apply to applicants, employees and former employees, regardless of their ci...

Female reporters who are verbally harassed by Trump should file an Equal Employment Opportunity Commission complaint against their employers for not protecting them from the president's abuse as they do their jobs. (h/t @airbagmoments.bsky.social)

FDA Slow Walking a Long-Awaited Abortion Pill Safety Study The Food and Drug Administration has delayed a promised review of safety data for the abortion drug mifepristone at Commissioner Marty Makary’s request to put it off until after the midterm elections,...

The best reading of this article: Trump is going to use FDA to restrict medication abortion, but he wants to wait until after the midterms so the Republicans don't experience blowback. But that just makes the midterms more important. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

This would be truly heartbreaking. The HPV vaccine is a lifesaver.

Props to @haelinchoi.bsky.social and the team from @handsoffnyc.bsky.social @bkindivisible.bsky.social @thenyic.bsky.social and the 1000+ people (incl. Rosa & me) who turned out yesterday for training/organizing events in Brooklyn & the Bronx to protect our neighbors and get Trump’s ICE out of NYC.

What we get wrong about the Montgomery bus boycott – and what we can learn from it | Jeanne Theoharis The movement’s success was never a given. It took much longer and required tremendous sacrifice without certainty it would work

Like @prisonculture.bsky.social, I've been worried about the ways popular myths of the civil rights movement make it hard to see how to struggle today. On the 70th anniversary of the Montgomery bus boycott, the things we get wrong & what a fuller history shows us: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

So much this ⬆️⬆️⬆️

Ditto. An additional problem for us is that the professional schools are all in on AI, leaving Arts and Sciences as the holdout. And since our teaching and learning center serves the whole university, it’s hard to push back effectively.

Look for at least one other Ivy to follow soon.

Stealing this line

@governor.pa.gov, PA needs to be on this list.

I hope so, but will call Shapiro’s office on Monday to encourage him. 🤞

(And this is coming from someone who actually doesn’t think it matters much whether a lot of services are delivered by public/private, as long as there is adequate regulation of private sector!)

It’s so basic, but it seems like we often forget that it really does make a difference whether public vs private does many of the things involved in governing (deliberation, redistribution, etc).

Framing GenAI as a battle between teachers and students is a red herring. Students and educators are on the same side. The real opposition are the data extraction firms and brokerages and their allies among the managerial class.

She’s gorgeous!

CDC panel recommends delaying birth dose of hepatitis B vaccine The CDC's ACIP panel voted to recommend delaying the birth dose of the hepatitis B vaccine, ending a policy that has reined in the virus.

There goes Hep B. This is so bad....

I love this article! Now I can say I “know” the author. Fangirl moment.

Great! Thanks for the recommendations. Seems like an important thing to cover in class sessions on materialist social policy

On this point, it’s worth noting the roots of demography as a field of study… 😬

If you’ve got a recommended reading on euthenics I’d love to hear it

Gear up for a nauseating story of neocolonialism.
