NPR will suspend its use of Twitter, the broadcaster said on Wednesday, a little over a week after the social network designated the organization's account “U.S. state-affiliated media.” Twitter has since changed the label to “Government-funded Media.”

WATCH: “What we did was not radical — INACTION IS RADICAL.”

@brotherjones_ & @VoteGloriaJ say they took over the well with @Justinjpearson to call for action on guns because it was time for “good trouble” with thousands outside demanding action on guns to save kids’ lives.

Me explaining Passover to our 2-year-old: "It's a Jewish holiday where—" Toddler: "WITH PRESENTS AND CUPCAKES??" Me: "Nooo...more like with a lot of crackers. Unleavened crackers."

Attorney: “I know I have to present the evidence that’ll probably exonerate you, but here’s the thing: I’ve already put in 70%-ish of my time, so I’m dunzo. Call me when you get out in 5-10!” https://t.co/aTXvmKVZaU

73 Days.

The additional time the average woman must work to earn what men made last year. The gap widens even more for women of color, mothers, and LGBTQIA+. #EqualPayDay

Please keep legislation like this in mind today as you read and digest International Women's Day posts across your various channels. Now is not the time to celebrate, but to act to protect women's rights, health, and equity at home in the US and globally.

Texas' abortion bans reflect the belief that a pregnant patient's life matters less than the fetus. @mjs_DC writes that until the legislature changes the law, patients will continue risking horrific ailments. https://t.co/TK8Rrq9yRe

The great @ProfEmilyOster framed it quite right over on Instagram this am: "Happy International Women's Day in a society where we do so little research on things that matter to women." Here for change at the societal and policy levels, not hashtags today.

The real crisis, the problem that needs fixing, isn’t girls’ mental health. In the midst of all this horror, their depression is actually very reasonable!

Girls’ brains are doing what they’re supposed to do—warning them that this is all very bad.  https://t.co/eJh8jlLvJS

Ross Douthat wrote about the CDC study on teen girls and came to the conclusion that the problem is…cell phones.

The fact that there’s been a 27% increase over the last two years of girls who report being raped doesn’t even warrant a mention.

But sure, go with cell phones.

“Our society fails miserably in treating women with postpartum depression or even postpartum psychosis” https://t.co/kM2RoWGrXX This from an article in which @BostonGlobe plasters the woman's hospital-confined face as lead image. Shame on the editors for perpetuating this failure

Biden's SOU line is strong and resonant: "We must give hate and extremism in any form no safe harbor." And it evokes one of Washington's most important lines: "For happily the Government of the United States, which gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance..."

[Jane Mayer @JaneMayerNYer]

This thread is like being stuck on Biden’s lapel, next to the mic- amazing inside look at the ways of a consummate pol!
