We are pleased to be mentioned by name in the @nytimes.com article discussing the growing debate around #pronatalism. As the piece highlights, #PopulationConnection takes a commonsense approach—we recognize that efforts to push higher #birthrates can drift into authoritarian territory,🧵

Gosh. If only there were an historical analogue we could study to learn about the horrors of rounding people up without due process and sending them to torture camps in other countries.

A few years ago I visited the National Museum of African American History & Culture with my grandparents. When we stepped out of the building my grandmother kept repeating the words “I lived it. I lived it. I lived it.” She’s still here. That history is still in her bones. You can never erase that.

Scoop: Far-right influencers and eugenicists are hosting a pronatalist conference in Austin this weekend, where I learned there will be ministers on hand to marry people and many of the strategy sessions will focus on matchmaking. The cost is $10K per person: www.wired.com/story/natal-...

Rumeysa Ozturk didn't create a "ruckus," she exercised her First Amendment rights (which extends to noncitizens). If you want to expel foreigners creating a ruckus, expel Elon Musk, who is currently setting fire to our government. (And didn't you pardon people who caused a REAL ruckus on Jan 6?)

On Tuesday, President Donald Trump issued a massive anti-voting executive order. One provision looks like a bid to advance a goal that for years has been a borderline obsession for Trump: cracking down on voting by mail.

It’s really fascinating what happens when you remove diversity—white male incompetency is placed on full display and with no one to blame for their actions —so they just lie.

The Massachusetts governor, the city, and the university needs to drop everything to locate and free this girl and make sure this doesn't happen again. This is DEFCON-1. If they do this to someone who wrote an op-ed in a college newspaper, they will do this to anyone they don't like.

Wow- Himes during a heated exchange w/Will Cain on Fox: "I'm not gonna listen to to you tell me that this about a partisan advantage...it is by the grace of God that we don't have dead pilots right now...it makes me want to throw up to hear you turn this into a partisan issue. You just need to stop"

My Kingdom and more for anyone to realize that awarding yourself a government contract is not a conflict of interest. It's corruption. When the bank teller takes the money out of the cash drawer and puts it in his pocket that's not a conflict of interest either.

The Signal leak is a prime moment for Democrats to get caught trying. Call for resignations or impeachment hearings or both. Be omnipresent in the media demanding and explaining accountability measures. Don’t let this fade away. Treat this the way the GOP treated Hillary’s emails. Make it a thing.

Warner: "Suddenly, & for no reason I can understand, the US is starting to act like our adversaries are our friends. Voting in the UN with Russia, Belarus, and North Korea - that's a rogues gallery if I've ever heard one. Treating our allies like adversaries. Threats to take over Greenland ... "

Tulsi Gabbard is so bad at this. First she won’t confirm that she was on the Signal text group chat discussing secret war plans for the attack on Yemen. Then she claims there was no classified information discussed in the chat. If you weren’t on the chat, then how do you know that?

Jeffrey Goldberg thinking he was being pranked and then realizing he was actually just in the war plans group chat is such a good microcosm of how it feels to be alive right now, everything seems fake until you realize it’s actually real and incredibly stupid
