They said a lot about having teenage daughters.
But no one warned about having to give up my compression socks to be used as hair curlers.

Every political commentator today, after the primaries, is saying the Democratic Socialist movement will have a hard time spreading beyond "liberal" New York. As often happens, it seems we are not very good at learning our history.

Senator Tim Scott writing about Trump's yesterday post "it’s the most racist thing I’ve seen out of this White House" implies there were ”less" racist things he has seen before.
I presume he was fine with less racism. I don't presume this will tip the scale.

Today, in my online Italian class, we discussed how auxiliary verbs vary in different languages.

In English you MAKE a decision.
In Italian you TAKE (prendere) a decision.
In German you MEET (treffen) a decision.

In Russian you ACCEPT (принять) a decision.

@mikeduncan People who argue against birthright citizenship don't know how difficult it is for a child to have their parents granted permanent residency in the United States.

@josemdelpino Well, what I mean is, who cares if anyone wins the popular vote? It won't change anything. I know the polls make news today, but they won't matter 2 weeks from now.

In light of recent indictments, I'd like to recall that in the final round of ranked voting Eric Adams beat Kathryn Garcia 50.4% vs 49.6%, a total of slightly more than 7 thousand votes.

@columbiajourn Investigations collaborated with @examinationnews @postandcourier and @RTBF to tell the story of how ‘forever chemical’ polluters got government funding to meet growing electric vehicle battery demands: https://t.co/l7jWlRCztJ

You can also read about it in French.

Chemical companies are reaping government benefits to meet the growing demand for critical lithium-ion battery materials. This puts communities in danger of PFAS pollution.

Our work with @SarkarMania @JCholakovska @CraigAWelch @emrosso @ClareFieseler came out today.

[The Examination @examinationnews]

As global demand for electric vehicles rises, so does a hidden risk.

Some major chemical suppliers behind lithium-ion batteries stand accused of misleading regulators, hiding information & contaminating communities while making similar, related products.🧵https://t.co/sQvxqTeYTv
