Ages 0-4 are the most important, emotionally & intellectually, in human development. Yet, in the US, we have a very high rate of childhood poverty and a broken child care system. Congratulations to New Mexico for leading the way forward for high quality, free child care. Other states must follow.

New in PN: Maine fought the law, and Maine won "After weeks of public fulminating, the administration quietly folded and quit trying to steal kids’ lunch money for the grievous sin of letting a couple of trans girls play sports. It’s a reminder that Trump, like any bully, can be fought and beaten."

We fought for our independence. We fought to end slavery. We fought against the rise of fascism in Europe. We fought for civil rights. I refuse to believe we have lost the will to fight for what is right and just.

Pritzker: The reckoning is here. And now that this culture of timidity is on display, these same do-nothing Democrats want to blame our losses on the defense of Black people, trans kids, and immigrants, instead of on their own lack of guts and gumption.

Forgive the earnest post here, but one year ago this week, Global Tetrahedron took over The Onion. We've since brought back the paper and ONN, dramatically increased revenue, and hired more writers and artists. But most importantly, as other places debased themselves, we refused to bend the knee.

I cannot overstate the importance of reading books, particularly novels by respected authors, for critical thinking skills and reading comprehension. If the big gun novelists don't interest you, start small and work your way up. Or read whatever interests you. Just read. Or listen. It's all books.

I also think we need to put to bed the idea of American individualism. One hero can't save us or lead the movement. And shouldn't because if they can destroy our momentum by eliminating one person? Highly unsafe We're all the leaders of the opposition. We're all in charge. We're all critical.

Great point by @leahlitman.bsky.social in this episode. As the executive authority cases like the use of AEA make their way to the Roberts court, we should benchmark their decisions against their ruling last year that President Biden did not even have the authority to cancel some student loans.

63 studies: women who assert their ideas, make direct requests, and advocate for themselves are liked less. They're also less likely to get hired—and it hasn't improved over time. When will we stop punishing women for violating outdated gender stereotypes?

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will stop paywalling articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

Reps Huizenga, Moolenar, Walberg, and Barrett will fight to the death to stop a battery plant from opening because "national security" but sure, put a bullseye on Michigan for Russian ICBMs. Let's be afraid of solar panels but get hyped over a missile defense site! wwmt.com/news/local/r...

An Irish Blessing on St. Patrick's Day May those who love us, love us; And for those who don't love us, May God turn their hearts; And if He doesn't turn their hearts, May He turn their ankles, So we will know them by their limping.
