anyone know of a good source tracking gender diversity in technology policymaking?

One of the mothers I interviewed for this story was frustrated that she couldn't find many resources to help her navigate these conversations with her 3-year-old son. So, we also created a guide to taking with your kids about ICE, based on tips from child development experts:

hi are you a journalist who has just started freelancing, either by choice or necessity? or are you thinking about making the jump because of...well, everything? i am helping to put on this conference next week designed with freelancers in mind and you should check it out! theiij.com/sessions-26

maybe this is the year i read priory

The data the researchers used was from 2023. What is it like today? How much influence has it wrought?

new study in nature shows X 'for you' page is more likely to show conservative content and posts made from activists and demotes traditional news. after, users were more likely to oppose criminal investigations of trump and support russia against ukraine. www.platformer.news/the-infinite...

Reminder that Trump said he's make IVF free for all Americans — and Trump RX, which he touted tonight, is the only real policy initiative he's advanced. Prescription drugs are a major IVF expense, but they are nowhere near hte main source of costs for fertility patients 19thnews.org/2025/10/trum...

violently thrown into a flashback of Trump's RNC (?) speech that was so late and went for so long newspapers didn't report out the second half bc of filing deadlines

This seems to be a common reply to my thread, so I'll address it here. Basically, the argument is who cares if this is a misleading attack on Newsom, he's bad so if it hurts him it's fine. And I think it's important to push back on misinformation so that when there are legitimate criticisms...

hello minnesota and beyond! thank you for your kind messages. it is very weird to be the news when you cover the news. i love this beautiful state and journalism, and i am hopeful for better days. but we will be forever changed bc of the last two months.

4o winding down today and the massive ridicule of redditors mourning the loss of their AI companion is making me think about what more empathetic journalism on this topic would look like. what are stories that don't rehash "this thing exists" but push the conversation forward? (forward toward what?)

“The destructive force they have brought is nearly immeasurable.” TikTokers showed up in Springfield looking for ICE; instead, they launched conspiracies attacking the groups helping Haitians. 19thnews.org/2026/02/tikt... via @19thnews.org

among the other godforsaken things i can’t believe about this timeline: Scabby has appeared outside ProPublica — management won’t commit to fair and standard disciplinary practices or implementing guardrails on newsroom AI use, after two years of negotiations.

Fascinating mapping of the enmeshment of MAGA and libertarianism, useful context for a recent NYT opinion piece.

caught up on ice dancing :(

The person photographed here who is in their bathrobe filming armed, masked federal agents in St. Paul is MPR News journalist @samstroozas.bsky.social @mprnews.org . She is an incredible journalist and person. We do not deserve her.

Fascinating when posed the same question in nearly the same circumstances (a Senate Judiciary Hearing) Mark Zuckerberg chose to turn around and apologize to families whose kids died from social media-related harms. That was in 2024.

The subscriber numbers on some of these newsletters is very high. www.theguardian.com/media/2026/f...

I’m never going to talk about my lawsuit ever again, so if you want the gossip, here’s your chance: @adriandaub.bsky.social and I talked about the Epstein files as a document of Me Too backlash on @inbedwiththeright.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i...

With Discord announcing the rollout of age verification, I want to re-up this @techpolicypress.bsky.social story laying out how this technology can be a security threat to trans people online + how age estimation tech might not even work for trans people. www.techpolicy.press/age-verifica...

With the next No Kings announced, here's a snapshot of organizing in LA. I talked with a Desert Storm vet nurse, a caregiving activist disappeared by the Marcos regime, and a union organizer about the Filipino-American legacy of resistance. 19thnews.org/2026/02/fili...

My story on Elon Musk cutting safeguards at xAI is on the front page of today's @washingtonpost.com. I’m also among 100’s of reporters laid off. I absolutely loved my job my brilliant coworkers & the thrill of reporting @ the center of forces upending the world: AI & Silicon Valley’s political power

i cannot for the life of me understand how someone could insert so many spaces in between words in the same sentence

NEW: I spent hours combing through the references to #MeToo in the latest tranche of Epstein files. I found Epstein closely tracked the fallout of #MeToo, joked about being in a "pariahs club," and advised men accused of misconduct behind the scenes 19thnews.org/2026/02/jeff...

"When a corrections officer sexually assaults me, ain't that intimate partner violence? When a guard uses his authority to coerce me, ain't that abuse of power? When the state denies me protection from violence, ain't I a woman who deserves safety?" www.theflytrapmedia.com/aint-we-wome...

To anyone laid off from the Post today, we are hiring:

A lot of people cannot just start a paid newsletter or become freelancers to sustain their careers. The sports, metro, and international desks did work that requires *team* resources, like legal checks, documents, access to archives, and long-term beat experience.

Pastor Carl Ruby says on organizing call re Trump/Vance spreading pet-eating lies re Springfield's Haitians: "In a typical year, the president of the chamber of commerce told me we get 20-25 inquiries about maybe moving a business to Springfield. He said we have not had one since the cats and dogs."

In an interview with NPR, Melinda French Gates confirmed that she ended her marriage with Bill Gates because of allegations contained in the Epstein files.

UPDATE — The Chicago Chapter of the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) is calling for the immediate release of Lemon and Fort, and for all charges against them to be withdrawn. thetriibe.com/2026/01/jour...

Georgia Fort's is chilling, and it's being overshadowed by the equally chilling arrest of Don Lemon. A GoFundMe is being set up for Fort. In the meantime, you can support her work directly – without paying massive fundraising platform fees – through her website: www.georgiafort.com/support
