Dear insurance companies, If you don’t cover super important medications, the patient more times than not will end up in the ER and then the hospital and I’m pretty sure those stays cost a lot more than the medication you wouldn’t pay for. Sincerely, Your biggest hater

We cannot accept the reckless use of deadly force by federal agents as normal. There is a pattern of this administration misleading the public and withholding key facts after these killings.

Just your regular reminder that routine administration of Vitamin K to newborns literally saves hundreds of lives every year in the US alone.

Submitted the grant- future reviewers please hold in your minds that this work was put together while our city is under siege, our neighbors are being kidnapped, and our kids are being terrorized. Our hearts are heavy. I am proud of the amazing science my team put together despite these odds.

please remember that no matter how many “ICE is losing in MN” articles you read today, there is still a very real, urgent, ongoing crisis in Minnesota. people need food and they need rent money. that has not changed.

Whistleblowers just shared a memo showing DHS instructing ICE to force their way into peoples' houses without a proper warrant. Why is this not on all the networks right now? This is a criminal conspiracy to violate rights under color of law.

Data from over 80,000 US school principals shows that when a school needs to contact a parent, the mother is 1.4 times more likely than the father to receive the first call. @kbuzard7.bsky.social‬ @laurakgee.bsky.social @olgastoddard.bsky.social cepr.org/voxeu/column... #EconSky
Chart showing how mothers are more likely to receive the first contact from schools than fathers. 

Mothers continue to shoulder the majority of childcare responsibilities even in dual-earner households, contributing to gender gaps in earnings, labour force participation, and career advancement. This column uses an experiment targeting over 80,000 US school principals to show that when a school needs to contact a parent, the mother is 1.4 times more likely than the father to receive the first call. A further survey saw mothers consistently identified as the primary point of contact across a wide range of domains, including doctors, sports coaches, and religious leaders. Suggestive evidence points to gendered interruptions contributing to broader economic inequality.
