Happy #EuropeDay to all of us!

Being part of one united European family with shared aims and values makes us stronger together.

Let’s not be afraid of our own power. If we stay commited to supporting Ukraine until victory, we can bring sustainable peace back to our continent.

The British experiment in self-government continues

With a few exceptions, that's the obesity rate chart reversed

Something Brad Wilcox and others have put a lot of stock in with regard to marriage is elite signaling, and I'm wondering what the whole Donald Trump / Stormy Daniels situation says in that regard.

I could imagine young women looking at this and seeing not-great things.

I don't think the fact that Ben-Gvir used to have a picture in honor of Baruch Goldstein in his living room until four years ago gets enough attention, even though it's pretty well-known. The dude is a lunatic.

Still true.

Hillary Clinton, on Morning Joe, says young critics of Israel lack knowledge of history on Israeli-Palestinian conflict:

I think it is great that my son exists and lives in America.

I'm going to become the Joker

There is a very huge gulf between “adversaries like the CCP” and your everyday random Chinese national, and efforts to conflate the two are simply wrong. Many of the people showing up at the border today are political dissidents fleeing repression!

Who are they fooling? I thought DACA was the thing that poisoned a DACA amnesty. Before that it was amnesty that poisoned amnesty. They just don’t want it and that’s it.

One of the worst headlines I’ve ever read, The Washington Post. They are purging patriots.

Again, it's just not the case that the NYT is doing a lot of coverage of inflation & immigration rather than Trump's threat to democracy.

Their coverage is just distinctly less substantive than other peer outlets.

Something big is happening in the county jail of Flint MI

An innovative rehab program is sharply reducing in-jail misconduct and post-release recidivism

I'm tremendously excited to share this new paper, with Marcella Alsan, Crystal Yang, & Arkey Barnett

wow i wonder why insurance companies want doctors to be vaccinate their patients

There's lots worthy of revulsion in our culture. But if the Constitution managed to handle us when we were a country that countenanced *chattel slavery* I think it will continue to serve for us despite Drag Queen Story Hour!
