We must not delude ourselves in this moment. Multiracial democracy in the United States is less than 60 years old. It has always been contested, often violently so. It has always been fragile. Since this nation's inception large swaths of white Americans -- including white women -- have claimed a belief in democracy while actually enforcing a white ethnocracy. In the face of shifting demographics where white Americans will lose their numeric majority, we see a growing embrace of autocracy to keep the "legitimate" rulers of this country in power. History teaches us that we are in a perilous moment.

Ugh. Was there domestic backlash after the Selzer poll?

It’s tempting to get a little hope … no nonsense women in Iowa are standing up …

1. Mesh drains in Australia prevent water bodies pollution. Should be a worldwide standard.

Had the shooter been a registered Democrat with Biden signs in his family’s yard, how many front-page stories, editorials, op-eds and back-to-back coverage do you think we’d STILL be seeing? This is why I have long pushed back against the contention that our field is an objective one.

My 9 yo nephew asked me what non-binary was. I told him, “some people are completely boys, some people are completely girls, & some people are neither feel fully a boy or fully a girl, they are in-between. They often use “they/them” pronouns.” He said “ok.” And that was it. /1

There's one reason NJ is home to the most expensive medical (and recreational) weed on the planet.

And his name is Herb Conaway.

@YIMBY_Princeton - your thoughts on this? Chicago has a bunch of this style and the apartments are brighter and more quiet

[Niskanen Center @NiskanenCenter]

Contrast this with the single-stair designs allowed in Europe. They deliver more of the light, air, and acoustic privacy typically provided by detached single-family buildings.

There's more living space for families.

This used to be legal in the U.S.

@YIMBY_Princeton that was bizarre - mother earth has had enough!

@Grow_Supplies Congrats! That’s excellent news !!

As someone who required many rounds of IVF to conceive both my kids, this ruling of working with a single embryo per retrieval and transfer is unbelievably cruel and excessively expense. But that seems to be the point

[Jo @JoJoFromJerz]

Also in the Alabama ruling on frozen embryos is this:

“Doctors must create just one embryo at a time. Each embryo, no matter how poor its quality, must be transferred. Only one embryo may be transferred at a time. If the cycle fails, the whole process must start all over again.

IVF patients would have to accept the transfer of a single low-quality embryo that is certain to fail—and to do so one embryo at a time. Each transfer requires months’ worth of expensive medication, including injectable, both before and after the procedure. And each failed cycle requires the patient to start all over again. Most states (including Alabama) do not require insurance to cover IVF, and each cycle can cost up to $30,000. This would force patients—the ones who can afford it—to undergo doomed, single-embryo transfers, one by one.”

If you know ANYONE who has been through IVF, you know exactly how fucking cruel this is.

Proud to support the push for Home Grow in NJ. Patients should be legally allowed to grow the plant medicines that best address their needs https://t.co/3YYDyi0IiY

[abigail kalmbach phd @abigailKalmbach]

Made staying around totally worth it ❇️

[abigail kalmbach phd @abigailKalmbach]

NJ residents - pls contact your elected officials to urge them to allow patients to grow their own medicine. Patients are suffering without legal access to their condition-specific strains https://t.co/Vp8qXicSSl

[abigail kalmbach phd @abigailKalmbach]

Here’s hoping 2024 is the year Jersey legalizes homegrow and allows patients to grow their personal medicines

State of peds care:
7yo is strep+ 4x’s since Nov (and 4rx antibiotics). They tell me to toss her toothbrush and hope for the best.

More worrying:
The peds charge $40/covid test bc insurance won’t always cover them. Recommended we test on our own (guess no more pcr tests either)
