Quite cold in Central Park this morning, as you can tell from this puffed-up female Northern Cardinal! I love Cardinals all year-round, but especially in winter. 🥰🥰🥰 #Cardinals #CentralPark #birding

Want to avoid a 100-day cough that might break your ribs?
Check that you are up to date on your pertussis (Tdap) shot-especially if you will be around a newborn anytime soon.

Absolutely stunned and honored to see THERE IS NO PLACE FOR US on this list.
I'm grateful beyond words to the five families who trusted me with their stories and allowed me to witness their struggle to secure a home.

It's hard to express what it meant to watch Maurice, Natalia, Celeste, and Rhea tell their stories—in their own voices—this morning.
The segment revealed a brutal reality: homelessness at this scale isn't about personal failure. It's the result of policy choices and systems built to exploit people.

In the notes of There Is No Place for Us, Brian says he met with families to review their respective chapters. I think about that all the time: centering those at the heart of a story with care and respect. I can't wait to hear from Celeste, Maurice, and Natalia as well as Brian during this segment:
I'm deeply grateful to Celeste, Maurice, and Natalia for sharing their lives on camera. These realities—jobs that don't pay the rent, families trapped in extended-stays—rarely get this kind of coverage.
I hope it helps propel these issues into the national conversation, where they urgently belong.

I just started this book. I manage my news organization's early childhood coverage and I think all the time about how we as sa nation are utterly reliant on child care workers who get paid basically nothing, even working full time. (The median wage is around $13/hr)
Some news: tomorrow at 9am, Ted Koppel + CBS Sunday Morning will air a two-part story on the devastating surge of full-time workers being pushed into homelessness.
I'll be interviewed along with two families from There Is No Place for Us. It would mean a lot if you'd watch and help spread the word.

"There is No Place For Us" by @brian-goldstone.bsky.social is destined to be a classic in the tradition of "Nickel and Dimed" by Barbara Ehrenreich. I will be watching this report tomorrow.
The timing feels especially critical: this week the Trump administration moved to gut permanent housing programs nationwide. As the safety net is torn apart and the affordability crisis deepens, this report shows what's at stake for millions of people.
Here's how the segment is being described:

Thinking a lot about how poorly our brains recognize long term subtle changes, like climate change or biodiversity loss. We've lost something like 1 out of every 4 individual birds in the US since 1970, more for some species.
There should be at least 25% more birds around you right now.

"Paper Girl" is such a great book. I highly recommend it. Very grateful to the author for highlighting the work of Pupil Personnel Workers, aka Truancy Officers, who are working so hard to reconnect students to school.
NBCC member Hope Reese talked to Beth Macy, author of "Paper Girl," for Greater Good Magazine:
Why Well-Being Is Falling in Rural America
According to a new memoir, inequalities in rural education may be contributing to the political polarization in the United States.

Here in Atlanta yesterday, more than 2,000 people waited in their cars—one woman for 14 hours—for a box of food. The giveaway ended early; there wasn't enough to go around.
Multiply this scene by countless others across the country, and you get a sense of how crushing the desperation is right now.
