Here's the thing: when big companies go down to 8 weeks, then smaller companies and startups will go down to 4, if anything. This is simply not enough time for most families, especially in a world where remote work is also disappearing. Daycare won't even take babies under 6 weeks old.
We know how this story plays out. Mothers will leave the paid workforce.
We shouldn't accept this as the new normal. The more we talk about it the harder it is for the bar to keep dropping.
These cases continue to arise, reminding there’s seemingly no ‘correct’ way to dispose of pregnancy remains that will protect us from criminal investigation—not while abortion bans and fetal personhood laws exist:
More than 20,000 U.S. military families, 213,000 National Guard & Reserve members, and over 1 million veterans rely on SNAP to afford food. https://t.co/gW03o6LbeN
.@NYCMayor is recording an interview with Ziwe today at City Hall (they’re setting up in the governor’s room which has a glass door)
The mayor saw Ziwe a few weeks ago at a press conference and he said he’d go on with her
Andrew Cuomo is trying to rewrite history & we won’t let him. He resigned in disgrace after multiple sexual harassment allegations, covered up COVID deaths to land a book deal, & has continuously protected the rich and powerful at the expense of working NYers.
We deserve better.
An incredible small business in our neighborhood needs our help.
@astoriabookshop was the victim of contractor fraud.
What was supposed to be small maintenance project ended up costing 2x the original estimate, & the contractor disappeared mid-project after being fully paid.
chi osse is directly responsible for the new protected bike lane i use everyday and now for the fact that i won't pay a broker's fee ever again. hate to be like LoCaL PoLiTiCs but it's the kind of stuff that is more likely to affect your daily life
@seandlauer@joshljacobs@loom Missed this because the Twitter app wouldn’t let me log in for a week 🙃 I saw our support team reached out to let you know fixes coming soon, but holler if you want to share more feedback with me!

Terrific article. If you ever take the subway in New York, please read. Attention must be paid. https://t.co/dpPHUjlBbc
Given Olive's loving disposition and eagerness to show affection, it's hard to imagine how she found herself alone on the street weighing only 3.5 pounds. After lots of extra meals, extra vet checks, and, especially, extra cuddles, she's all ready to find her forever home.
6 weeks. Most people don’t even know they’re pregnant by 6 weeks. This might as well be a total and complete ban on abortion.

if you're in Brooklyn, the New York City primary on Tuesday may not seem to have much on the ballot, but there are a set of court races that really matter, and at @newkingsdems we've put together a voter guide which covers them for you: https://t.co/5U4T9uOOK6
Olive weighed only 3.5lbs when we found her outside, so our main focus has been to get her weight up. We're switching her over to kitten food, but if that's not successful we’ll need to consider an abdominal ultrasound. Please get in touch if you'd like to learn more about her
