You can build a world that values and invests in children without actually requiring every individual person to want and have children. Dolly knew that. Gotta got those pronatalists to understand it. wapo.st/4gmVPfb
Suffice it to say that for now, kids aren’t part of the plan. That doesn’t mean, though, that I don’t want the best for the children in my community or their parents. Too many people assume it does, setting up a useless culture war between parents and the child-free.
Which was just one more divide that Dolly Parton transcended with grace. Parton understood that it’s in everybody’s best interest for kids to thrive. She also understood that for kids to thrive, they almost necessarily need more support than their parents can give them alone — and that sometimes it’s nonparents, with the extra time and energy and resources that come from not having kids, who are especially well-equipped to provide it.To me, Parton’s lack of children demonstrated that the world could in fact love a woman who wasn’t a mother. But more importantly, she was proof that a person could be an advocate and friend for children while personally choosing against parenting. She was a reassurance that voluntary childlessness doesn’t reflect inherent selfishness, and that parenting is far from the only way to invest in the kids who are all of our future.

The education gradient in childcare time has narrowed but these results suggest that college educated parents have increased $$ investments to help ensure class reproduction

Bunch of uni admins are thanking their lucky stars today that their faculty's research was beneath Epstein's notice. Still, I hope JE prompts all universities to reflect on how to fund research w/o compromising values, particularly as federal & state funding shrinks and donors play larger role.

Exactly. There's must-pass funding legislation going through Congress right now. If Tillis et al. aren't willing to put a Greenland condition on that bill, this is all cheap talk. (And Dems need to be pushing Republicans by insisting on conditions to stop Minnesota-type abuses.)

sweet christ on a bird flu biscuit how was he ever confirmed
Screenshot text from THE NATION
It is easy to frame what is happening now through the usual filter of politics, and the White House is eager to do so, making the critique of RFK Jr. just another partisan battle. But I want us to go back and sit with Caroline Kennedy’s letter:

His basement, his garage, and his dorm room were the centers of the action where drugs were available, and he enjoyed showing off how he put baby chickens and mice in the blender to feed his hawks. It was often a perverse scene of despair and violence.

Forget the drugs. Reflect on the pathology, the cruelty, the “perverse scene of despair and violence.” Ms. Kennedy paints a chilling picture. This isn’t a political critique of our HHS secretary; it’s the origin story of a new American psycho. And before you reduce this to name-calling on my part, read the letter again. Then juxtapose the portrait Caroline Kennedy provides with the man today, the enormous power he has to do damage, to inflict suffering and death upon us all, and what he has done thus far. The case is clear: He should never have been let anywhere near public health, healthcare and biomedical science in this country. Congress needs to act. And we need to make them do it. RFK Jr. needs to go. Now.

This style of reporting is atrocious. Governor Cook has not been fired. The President has “purported” to fire her. Governor Cook knows the president has no such power to do so—see her statement for details. We need a better media who does not accept every half baked narrative from the White House

D.C. has more residents than two U.S. states. They pay more per capita in federal taxes than any other state. But they don’t get a serious seat at the table to decide how they’re governed. D.C. statehood now.

Maybe it's time for the Fed -- which already runs a number of surveys through its regional banks -- to start running its own surveys to monitor unemployment and prices, the two components of its dual mandate.

The Supreme Court’s “shadow docket” has cast very different shadows depending on which party holds the White House. When lower courts blocked Trump admin policies, SCOTUS intervened on an emergency basis to lift those orders in 77% of cases. For the Biden administration, that number was 0%.
Infographic titled “One Court, Two Standards” compares how the Supreme Court used emergency powers to rule on lower-court injunctions against the Biden and Trump administrations. Two panels show:
	•	Biden Administration: Lower courts blocked policies in 21 cases. All 21 cases are represented by red squares, indicating that 0% of injunctions/TROs were lifted by SCOTUS.
	•	Trump Administration: Lower courts blocked policies in 86 cases. 66 green squares and 20 red squares show that 77% of injunctions/TROs were lifted by SCOTUS.

Key takeaway box below reads:
“Using its ‘shadow docket,’ the Supreme Court granted emergency relief to lift 77% of lower-court injunctions against the Trump administration. It lifted 0% of those against the Biden administration.”
