@Musa_alGharbi@nytimes My story ran right next to a companion story on young women. Nowhere does either say there has been a rightward shift among young men. Rather, that young people have the largest gender gap of any age group. We reported on both sides of that gap: https://t.co/B91wMlJu1U
By now much of the internet has already read this terrific @clairecm + @aatishb + @jshkatz piece, but do look if you haven't yet. Expertly written, and there are 100 stories in every chart

What It’s Like to Be a Queer Teenager in America Today: Social acceptance among young people has increased significantly in only a decade. But the #MentalHealth of #LGBTQ+ teens is suffering, by @fparises@clairecm https://t.co/oNUqNEl79H via @UpshotNYT🏳️🌈
1 in 5 members of Gen Z identifies as LGBTQ. Unlike a decade ago, their peers are mostly unfazed, and high school has become a much more welcoming place. Yet they’re also in mental health crisis and facing bills restricting their lives. w @fparises https://t.co/tanxO2mo2h

Bless the Times & @clairecm for recognizing the importance of the net to young people ostracized where they live. The surgeon general also had to acknowledge this:

For Black moms, income doesn't matter. Neither does education. Racism persists. Black women still have worse outcomes. Their pain is ignored; their autonomy stolen. @Sarahkliff and @Clairecm report.

Far fewer women in the US are getting pregnant when they don’t want to be. More are waiting until after 35 — and saying their pregnancies were later than they wanted. https://t.co/UgbzPIeXmJ
Virtual clinics are becoming a more entrenched part of abortion just as the courts are considering banning them. As a former tech start-up reporter, these entrepreneurs struck me as bringing a Silicon Valley approach to abortion care. w @sangerkatz https://t.co/W9dUFeVBzH
To give a sense of the impact of Florida's coming abortion law, take a look at how it changes how far women throughout the South will need to go to get an abortion after 6 weeks of pregnancy. https://t.co/yIAvI5IyHf @clairecm@qdbui
For a brief pandemic moment, we had a robust social safety net. It didn’t last. But there are signs that it may have changed the appetite for government support for its citizens for the future. w @aliciaparlap https://t.co/YgOMm0DnbQ
