Every factory on earth, except those located in the United States, can get the inputs they need from China, without paying an additional 145 percent markup.

A Few Things | April 24 Three theories on why RFK Jr. wants a Registry of People with Autism.

"Autism is not an infection or a disease, and it does not need to be cured. Calling it an epidemic others people who have autism and puts them in an "unclean/diseased” group... every genocide has been preceded by putting people into an “unclean/diseased” group." @designmom.bsky.social

NIH guts its first and largest study centered on women The Women’s Health Initiative has produced numerous influential findings

It was not that long ago that clinical trials enrolled mainly (or all) men, or that animal studies only used male mice. It was not that long ago that the NIH determined the need to focus research on women.

I don’t see any reason we can’t get that number to 80 or 90% in Q2.

Zuck does the same thing, manipulates reach so his own posts do better or so other posts do worse. Read Careless People by Sarah Wynn-Williams.

A screenshot of a post on Threads, written by Mosseri, where he announces ads rolling out on Threads.

What in the world does Zuck have on Mosseri? Like why is he still there? Having to making shitty announcement after shitty announcement. Taking orders from a boss who is so out of touch that he was all in on the metaverse. What's going on there? How much more money does Mosseri need?

In the crowd in NYC. No way of knowing how many people are here. Tremendous mob.

Protest video shared with me from Massena, New York, a rural town on the Canadian border of ~12k people. Estimated 250+ in attendance. Amazing.

take all my money

If Trump can disappear green card holders for protesting war, he can disappear you.

If he can disappear visa holders for criticizing him, he can disappear you.

If he can disappear asylum seekers for tattoos, he can disappear you.

We must speak out now — before there is no one left to speak out.

Oh dear it appears they are serious about the 20% across-the-board tariff.

I regret not calling myself working class We emerged with posher accents and a belief we would automatically out-perform our parents financially (which never quite panned out). The working-class label didn’t quite seem to fit

Wrote for @theipaper.com about how people from backgrounds involving wealth & privilege most of us can only dream of have become the self-appointed gatekeepers of ‘working class values’ and I’ve HAD ENOUGH - inews.co.uk/inews-lifest...

I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue I’m editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.

Book: The Kids Are All Right ⋆ Design Mom […]

I just finished @designmom.bsky.social's "The Kids Are All Right." It has lots of great ideas to consider and is honestly such a breath of fresh air when it comes to thinking about parenting in this world. I really appreciated their perspective. Highly recommend.

Keep talking about Signalgate.

Give them no peace.

Yes, Fox News, I have definitely texted the wrong person before. In fact, I've done it numerous times. The difference here is that my erroneous texts revolved around lunch details or sending an article to a friend -- not outlining attack plans that put our troops in grave danger. Hope this helps.

We do not have a free country in this moment. When they can nab someone off the street because they don't like what they say, they can nab anyone.

I can’t stop thinking about the fact that Jason Stanley and Timothy Snyder, the nation’s foremost academics and authors on fascism and tyranny, have essentially fled the country.

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.

Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

After the Atlantic published the texts this morning, Tulsi Gabbard is confronted today on why she lied in her testimony to the Senate yesterday. She says she misremembered.

I want us to study the history of resistance to slave catchers right now. I want us to study how slave catchers worked, how they were sanctioned, who paid them, and why they did what they did, right now. I want us to study the hyperlocal and networked ways slave catchers were impeded. Right now.

If these men had any sense of honor, they would already have resigned. The fact that they are all still in their jobs is just as damning as their terrifying and lawless incompetence.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren: "If Pete Hegseth had even a sliver of self respect and sense of honor, he would have already put his resignation on the president's desk. And if he's not willing to do that, then the President of the United States has a moral, and in my view, legal obligation to fire him."

Every night @maddow.msnbc.com has a first segment that runs through protests and town halls held in last 24 hrs and if you are feeling like nobody is feeling like you feel or you don’t know what to do: start by watching these and then find your people in your area. They are everywhere.

Every single Democratic lawmaker should be calling for Hegseth's immediate resignation right now. Not just some. Not just a few dozen. Every single one, starting at the top with Mr. Schumer and Mr. Jeffries. And the fact that it hasn't happened yet is nearly as shocking as Hegseth's conduct.
