Covid has finally made it visible: teens work and step up to the plate to help their families in times of need. Let's make school more flexible and supportive of these great young people!

I don't have data, but my experience tells me this trend happens with job "qualifications" beyond education level too. e.g. what's tolerable on a background check, credit check, points on drivers license, etc.

Ummm... can we add in pretty much every substantive area except political maneuvering? We have stop giving so much space to opinions divorced from facts.

[Dan Rather @DanRather]

When someone starts an argument with "I'm not a scientist, but..." maybe we should stop listening to them weighing in on science. And maybe news shows should stop asking these pundits to talk about something they’re not qualified to talk about.

WOW.

Brand new analysis from @amprog's @ramskull shows that since DC implemented universal pre-K in 2009, maternal labor-force participation has risen 12 percentage points--with 10 pp attributable to this policy!

If you've ever wondered what you would've done during the Holocaust, ask yourself what you're doing now about defenseless kids at the border taken from their parents and thrown into cages.

Marco Antonio Muñoz

Remember this name. This is the name of an immigrant man who came here with his wife and 3-year-old son. US officials had to physically restrain him as they ripped his son from his arms to take him and his wife away. Muñoz was so distraught he killed himself.

Just got out of the OR to read this piece about Trump’s new lawsuit to bring back pre-ex condition exclusions. If it won, all four of my patients would be denied coverage on the individual market for the very reasons I did surgery for them. Insane. https://t.co/yOhVytCGdU
