I think there are two key reasons:
1. It can be a difficult to diagnose problem- it is more diffuse and general than e.g. cyber bullying.
2. It is difficult to think of an immediately available clear demand, especially the kind of small-scale ones that are winnable and build organization.

one thing that has been obvious for a while is this aspect of the authoritarian internationale: they recognize that their allies abroad are not *countries* but *political movements* within foreign countries.

time we liberals woke up and recognized this--because it's the truth.

Hope you’ve got someone who can bring you food and water

the good news for donald trump is that he could sincerely repent of his sins and he would be welcomed into the arms of a loving god. the bad news for donald trump is that he's donald trump.

There is someone that can save the soul of Donald Trump. It’s not Donald Trump.

Really obvious that one of the “preachers” surrounding him has spent a lot of time just telling him how great heaven is as a way of attempting to get him to convert. Predictable results (completely bastardized cultural “Christian” word vomit).

Thanks! Yeah I am not ND but my husband is (which helps!) — I am just very attuned to the fact that neurotypical parents’ experiences are sometimes unhelpful or worse if not balanced by ND perspectives.

This is like if you did not have to go into an actual grocery store for a rotisserie chicken and if they were always amazing.

The little Parisian roasted chicken storefront, as a phenomenon, would be an incredible addition to any city dense enough to support it. This tiny kiosk specializes in selling you a piping hot, perfectly roasted spatchcocked whole chicken for you to take home for your dinner????

anyways if any of yous have good suggestions for books about parenting a very adhd child, I would love them (bonus points if you are adhd/neurodivergent yourself). It’s gotten much more pronounced since the move, and she’s older so a lot of our earlier methods are ceasing to work.

yes she did spend 20 mins repeating the title of a book she found funny while unable to process anything else said to her

But also she was deep in thought in the Napoleon III apartments and then said “Some bad guys win what they want to do, like Eric Adams got to be mayor. But we still fight back.”

It’s always fun hanging out with parents of kids who do not have ADHD because they look at my five year old and ask “how long does she keep this going?”

Meanwhile I’m busy trying to trick her into answering a question instead of barking like a dog

A group of hundreds of faith in coalition who started at a Maywood church just arrived at the detention center for a eucharistic procession.

They want to offer communion to detainees inside, but won't be able to get past the barricades and fence on Beach Street.

What is described here is the destruction of the US’s capacity to combat emerging diseases abroad before they reach our shores, to respond to epidemics here, and to ID bioterrorism.

Congressional Republicans are content to think that nobody will blame them if catastrophe strikes. Disgusting.

I love this because it recognizes that trans people’s organizing & struggle is a story with relevance for all people.

The MMWR allowed public health workers in New York to start piecing things together — the beginnings of recognizing a major epidemic (and then a pandemic). It is unspeakably important.

Of course this administration is at war with the notion that there is a public, or a society.

With news that they are trying to fire the staff of the MMWR, I thought I would note that AIDS first came to the attention of public health workers broadly from an MMWR report describing an unusual cluster of pneumonia in gay men in San Francisco.

The mass layoffs of federal workers on Friday night swept up the top two leaders of the federal measles response team, those working on Ebola and dozens of other infectious disease experts

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Somewhere between Brooklyn and Berlin.

(Berlin’s bike lane structure is extremely logical and, while it occasionally involves going from grade-separated sidewalk lanes to street lanes, it’s very clearly signed.)

Spent all day ebiking around Paris. I understand the scale of the transition here, it is generally pleasant to bike, but also much of the system is illogical — feels like an “awkward teenager.” Unclear lane changes and diversions, many common routes switching from one way to bidirectional & back…

“One of the chants that has become ubiquitous at these protests at Broadview is, ‘Love your neighbor, love your God, save your soul and quit your job,’” said Black, who pastors at the First Presbyterian Church of Chicago. “Everybody chants that.”

Pope Leo XIV has blasted how wealthy people live in a “bubble of comfort and luxury” while the poor suffer. In his first teaching document Thursday, Leo confirms that he is in perfect lockstep with Pope Francis on matters of social injustice.

Today my @nytimes.com colleagues and I are launching a new series called Lost Science. We interview US scientists who can no longer discover something new about our world, thanks to this year‘s cuts. Here is my first interview with a scientist who studied bees and fires. Gift link: nyti.ms/3IWXbiE
