'There's a lot of beauty in ordinary things. Isn't that kind of the point?' 💫

Up First interviews a Texas woman who was told by a doctor that her baby would not live, even with the best NICU, and that her pregnancy was at risk of going septic and killing her—they recommended termination, but could not do it themselves. https://t.co/izRVogCCit

As Matteo Salvini visits the Poland-Ukraine border, the mayor of Przemysl shows him the Putin-admiring T-shirt he proudly wore in Moscow. Not so simple for a leopard to change its spots.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

When politicians use faith as an excuse to pass and uphold laws that seize control of people’s bodies but not guarantee them healthcare, feed the poor, shelter the homeless, or welcome the stranger, you have to wonder if it’s really about faith at all.

On 9/11, the president's first tweet of the day praises a bank for requiring employees to return to the office.

In January 1944 she was deported to #Auschwitz with her father Alberto who perished in the camp in April 1944.

Liliana survived. Today she is a senator-for-life in #Italy and turns 90.

Finally some good news!! 🥳 In the span of a week, a confirmation that it was a short sighted policy update!

[Karin Fischer @karinfischer]

NEWS: Government has agreed to rescind the July 6 policy on international students and online learning and FAQ released the next day. Also agreed to rescind any implementation and will return to status quo of March 9 guidance

“The abrupt decision this week by ICE barring international students from remaining in the country if they enroll in remote-only instruction this fall is, quite simply, cruel and reckless." - USF President Paul J. Fitzgerald in a message to the university community this afternoon

[Andrew Ng @AndrewYNg]

New @ICEgov policy regarding F-1 visa international students is horrible & will hurt the US, students, and universities. Pushes universities to offer in-person classes even if unsafe or no pedagogical benefit, or students to leave US amidst pandemic and risk inability to return.

https://t.co/JEzxyaAUke ho visto 4 uomini ed UNA donna parlare del corpo delle donne e della "pillola del cosiddetto giorno dopo" (detto da uno dei 4 uomini che é apparentemente nella commissione sanitá.."ah non é la pillola del giorno dopo...?") (Min6:30) 😐 #Aborto #Umbria

The Umbria region, in Central Italy, has barred women from accessing the abortion pill as an outpatient.
In my job market paper I show that imposing social stigma on avoiding unexpected pregnancies prevent women from becoming innovative entrepreneurs.
