I reported on economics full-time in 2020. It taught me there are no incentives to have a baby in the US. Women in the US have to pay for pre-natal, medical and child care, earn less, do most of the parenting and chores, get promoted less, and are now at 27% higher risk of maternal mortality.

"When I heard of the purge, I went back and read Angelou’s 'On the Pulse of Morning.' These lines struck me now in a way they hadn’t in 1993: Do not be wedded forever To fear, yoked eternally To brutishness. Instead: Give birth again To the dream." www.thebulwark.com/p/pete-hegse...

Living in Canada is wild. It feels like we can go from minus 50 to plus 40 on some days in March. Throw in some ice storms and wildfire smoke for good measure. We don’t even flinch, we just put on the right jacket.

It’s a recalibration of economic control. Oligarchs don’t live paycheck to paycheck. They have the capital to buy market dips and recoup faster, acquiring more assets at fire sale prices along the way. When the dust finally settles, they will own more. The rest of us will own less. A lot less.

American chaos: standing up for health and medicine - The Lancet www.thelancet.com/journals/lan... - Dear @thelancet.bsky.social, I am late in expressing my gratitude, but thank you for this letter of commitment and vision.

"Dr. Joanne Liu, the former international president of Doctors Without Borders, said the abrupt cancellation speaks to the “climate of fear” universities in the U.S. are now living under in which they preemptively _self-censor' themselves to avoid retaliation." www.ctvnews.ca/montreal/art...

My friend Dr. Joanne Liu, former international president of Doctors Without Borders, was cancelled at NYU. The vice-president in education asked to see her powerpoint, prior to her lecture. One slide showed the number of humanitarian workers who died in Gaza. NYU cancelled the event.
