Are we more committed to convenience than diversity?
Target has made that bet.
Are we more committed to convenience than equity?
Starbucks thinks so.
Are we more committed to convenience than inclusion?
That's Walmart's take.

For those who were directly targeted by Charlie Kirk’s rhetoric, bipartisan tributes to him as a champion of free speech signal the mainstreaming of formerly extremist views, Nikole Hannah-Jones writes in an essay for The New York Times Magazine.

I know we're desensitized, but it's important to note, again, that today's events would have led to the immediate impeachment & removal of any president from at least Truman to at least Obama.

Trump wraps up a speech to military leaders that represented a major escalation of his effort to weaponize the armed forces into a tool he can use to violently quash domestic dissent. Hard to imagine how anyone with a shred of dignity can keep serving after this, which of course is the point.

This is the official communication from the FDA to physicians on acetaminophen use in pregnancy.
- They acknowledge the lack of a causal link with autism
- Essentially tell physicians to keep doing what we've been doing anyway
It's very different from the press conference.

Biden ran to "Save the Soul of the Nation"
Instead he:
Restored broken norms rather than lead a healing transformation
Lied about his health & held onto power instead of fostering healthy debate/transition
Enabled a genocide
Enabled Trump 2.0
Strong argument for one of the worst Presidents ever

The most telling statistic I have ever hear is that poverty decreased during the pandemic heights because we were just doing direct payments. We basically had a national UBI pilot and ditched it because Biden wanted to restore status quo ante instead of leading a 21st century New Deal transformation
At some point people need to learn that the poverty rate is mostly about the safety net or lack thereof and not the economy. The economy was doing historically well, real wages rising for the first time in decades, etc. And poverty rose because pandemic safety policies expired.

Hours after Charlie Kirk was shot, I emailed my editors at a major American newspaper a potential column focused on the role of Christian Nationalism + radicalization of young white Christian men.
They killed it. This is what they published instead.

I know dis/misinformation is a thing, but if you are taking your health advice from a guy who thought it was a good idea to inject bleach into your veins to treat a virus..
rather than clinicians who have gone to school for a decade..
then you likely have bigger threats to your health than Tylenol

If the #ACIP votes not to recommend the MMRV anymore, then that vaccine won't be covered by the Vaccines for Children Program, which makes vaccines free for low-income families. Nearly half of kids are eligible for the program. Medicaid also may not cover the MMRV as a first dose, either. #Equity
