One thing i have learnt about bullying and harassment: those that come forward are the tip of the iceberg! When allegations are out the most vulnerable have yet to talk, dismissing those allegations silences them!

With Roe overturned, we have a good idea of the economic consequences pregnant people will face without abortion access. As states like CA, MA, etc expand access to abortion, my research with @ZoharTom sheds light on what happens when abortion is provided for free 👇🧵

[Leah Feiger @LeahFeiger]

In light of the draft of a leaked majority Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v Wade, I want to call your attention to the people that would be impacted most by the end of legalized abortion across the United States. 🧵:

Look at the size of anti-war protestors in St Petersburg, Russia. Wow

This is horrifying, and I’m going to thread resources below about how you can help in this situation and/or what resources you can use if you’re an affirming parent or educator in Texas right now

Because facts still matter:

- Adding 100 H-1Bs to the economy produces 183 jobs for Americans

- Adding 100 H-2Bs produces 464 jobs for Americans

- About half of US postdocs (PhD-level STEM researchers) are on J-1s, no science without them

There's no economic argument here.

[Justin Wolfers @JustinWolfers]

As you read various arguments floating around that perhaps we should ease public health restrictions to help the economy, I want you to notice that IN NO CASE ARE THESE ARGUMENTS BEING MADE BY ACTUAL ECONOMISTS.

@Claudia_Sahm @GarettJones Had to look it up too... apparently means “if I understand correctly” which he pretty much is. If you got a second, what would the Sahm-approved stimulus look like? Any specific things to cater it towards compared to one for a recession or would they be basically the same?
