American Psychiatrist Association Statement on White House Announcement on Autism

ACOG reaffirms that acetaminophen is safe for managing pain and fever during pregnancy. No reputable studies support suggestions like those in HHS’s recent announcement linking acetaminophen use in pregnancy to autism; in fact, high-quality studies show no such risk. https://bit.ly/47Wxc59

A short 🧵 so everyone can learn that political violence is nothing new in America. Of the 1,331 Black officials who served during Reconstruction, 158 (10.4%) were subjected to political violence. 1/7

the funny thing about the constant misappropriation of MLK is that the guy left a massive body of writing specifically aimed at explaining his views of those of the movement he represented to the broad public. it is extremely easy to know what the guy thought on a variety of subjects and yet

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

Among other results from Yale’s CEO poll, 80% said the White House pressure on the Federal Reserve wasn’t in the best long-term interests of the U.S., and 71% said Trump has weakened the Fed’s independence. -Fortune fortune.com/2025/09/19/c...

Ordered. And excited to read!! Congratulations @christinajcross.bsky.social!

Excited to get my copy of Inherited Inequality, such an important new book by the brilliant Dr. Christina Cross @christinajcross.bsky.social! I look forward to reading it and teaching it! 😊 #Sociology #Policy #Families #Inequality

Trump criticizes Pam Bondi for not charging his adversaries quickly enough, in a Truth Social post that looks a lot like a DM. truthsocial.com/@realDonaldT...

Remember the good old days when Bill Clinton bumping into AG Lynch for a few minutes at an airport was unacceptable? I don't think Pam Bondi is long for her job.

More than that. "The FBI ***recorded*** Tom Homan taking the money "after indicating he could help the agents — who were posing as business executives — win government contracts in a second Trump administration."

Confessing right out in the open, as always

This is the most corrupt and disgusting thing I think I’ve ever seen from a president. A blatantly impeachable offense. Republicans in Congress will say and do nothing.

If Hamburger Helper sales are up our economy is in serious trouble.

oh that’s. That’s real recession stuff - “While most food companies are seeing declines in consumer demand for their products, sales of Hamburger Helper are up 14.5 percent in the year through August" www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/b...

The Ohio Teamsters endorsing Vivek in the 2026 governor’s race shouldn’t be surprising. Politics is not about policy, and deliverism no longer works. Identity drives contemporary American politics. This is just another example that proves the point.

Channeling @brendannyhan.bsky.social to ask: “what would you say if you saw this in another country?”

The 100K fee for H-1B visas (yearly!) is reported as a hit on tech -- but it is a hit on universities. It will make it impossible for us to hire foreign visitors, or foreign scholars into tenure track positions--I think almost 40% of H-1Bs go to universities and university hospitals.

sinclair pulled its kirk tribute six minutes before it was set to air on its abc affiliates

Keep the pressure ON!

Surveillance footage shows a Starbucks worker did not write “Loser” on a drink ordered in honor of Charlie Kirk, despite a right-wing activist generating outrage over the incident that led to the coffee shop's temporary closure

Ok, I was wrong. That’s now very clear. I admit it. We need a course in logic as part of the general education requirements. 😂🤣

People will be very surprised to learn who receives H-1B visas, but it will be too late.

I have no idea why the high inflation of grocery prices stopped being news. Groceries prices are rising higher than total inflation and have been for some time. Biggest just in 3 years last month! Everyone has to eat, so everyone feels this in their budgets. apple.news/AXttO9mKeSy-...

A federal prosecutor who was under pressure from the Trump admin to charge New York AG Letitia James in a mortgage fraud case is reportedly resigning

This is class solidarity. In case you’re at all confused.

Two years ago, @nber.org asked me to talk about my research on political violence during Reconstruction. Political violence is not just about intimidation, it is also related to thwarting and violently penalizing political success. Seems appropriate to revisit that today. youtu.be/Wrdj4oLq4wk

The history of American political violence is one that will test your resolve to read through atrocity after atrocity in a nation that claims to be a beacon of democracy.

#tdih 1868 Camilla Massacre, Albany, Georgia After being expelled from elected office, African Americans & a few whites bravely marched to attend a political rally. Fired upon by whites in town, & pursued as they ran. Followed by weeks of #votersuppression 🧵 www.zinnedproject.org/news/tdih/ca...

“This isn’t the America I know!” Black people:

I triple-checked. This wasn’t @theonion.com headline

Democracy, more than anything is a practice. I always think that the Civil Rights Movement succeeded because from the Civil War black Americans built institutions: universities, fraternities and sororities, churches, that engaged them in democratic practice.

MacCALLUM: Do you think it's the responsibility of the president to bring people together? TRUMP: Ideally ... I saw it starting with President Obama. I saw tremendous hatred.

It’s almost like…people are experiencing something the media no longer cares about. Inflation (especially at the grocery store) is still very much a thing, yet it has all but disappeared from the news.

Consider this: if inflation is driving everything, why isn’t the all time high price of beef something we’re seeing a lot of stories about? Declines in US beef due to climate (drought) and tariffs on imported beef are driving this. You’d think they’d report on this ad nauseam like eggs last year…

Watching prominent commenters followed by dozens of people I know say "it's over" because Jimmy Kimmel got suspended...like, they actually killed Medgar Evers, in defense of a fascist system that had been in place for decades. Imagine social media that day! Read history and have some self-respect.

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

Never thought I’d live through the whole “it was once the United States before the Bad Thing” part of the dystopian movie.

if our constitutional rights are contingent on “dems winning 2026” or whatever, there are no rights

Purely symbolic but I think important

I think the whole “wait for the midterms” strategy has worked about as well as I thought it would.

None of the most prominent people talking about universities have any real idea what does and doesn’t happen in classrooms.

“Debate Me” culture is not organic, endemic, or apolitical. This mode of high jacking discourse is and has been central to a 30-year conservative training program that has produced untold numbers of people to do this for every reason but “civil discourse”

A truly dangerous person now in charge of the nation's public health.

I'm sorry, I get that we all have our own s**t but it's incredibly weird that anyone ever thought this quote was meant to stoke the embers of violence, found it to be a radicalizing moment in their life, or is still angry about it a decade later.
