I know we've worked hard to move history ed away from names and dates but I think we might need to swing back to chronology a bit because "who was president on january 8 2021?" and "which came first, the clinical description of autism or tylenol?" shouldn't be this hard, especially for reporters.

Growing up, Sunday dinner meant homemade chicken & noodles after church. Today, tariffs Jack Bergman supports make it harder for farmers to grow & families to eat. Even MI’s Ag Director warns they’re costing jobs, hurting rural economies & raising food prices. #MI01

There is no link between Tylenol and autism. There is a link between Epstein and Donald Trump raping children, though.

That's a LOT of current/former Disney talent. @thr.com $DIS www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/j...

An important read.

This ought to be engraved somewhere.

I have always loved Umberto Eco's concept of the "antilibrary" www.themarginalian.org/2015/03/24/u...

It’s easy to take democracy for granted. It’s easy to assume that the Constitution is in stone. It’s not. This is a moment when your courage and your activism are most needed.

Eric Feigl-Ding's thread here is an excellent introduction to the existing scientific literature on Tylenol and autism—of which there is a considerable volume. None of it supports the claims made by Trump and RFKJr, which is sheer quackery. threadreaderapp.com/thread/19702...

What a fucking G.

Since Trump’s MAGA majority has controlled the Supreme Court, SCOTUS has overturned 42 years of precedent deferring to agencies 50 years backing a women’s reproductive rights 60 years of affirmative action And-likely-a 90 year old case shielding the FTC It’s the most radical Court in US history

In a quickly deleted Truth Social post this weekend, the President of the United States openly urged his Attorney General to bring criminal charges against his political rivals. This is not OK: 🧵👇

head of medical ethics at NYU Med: "The announcement on autism was the saddest display of a lack of evidence, rumors, recycling old myths, lousy advice, outright lies and dangerous advice I have ever witnessed by anyone in authority in the world claiming to know anything about science." whew lordt

The craziest thing about Tylenol and autism is that Donald Trump is in the Epstein files.

"A longing for the rapture and the return of Jesus on Earth is at the core of Evangelicalism. These prophecies require 3 great events before the Messiah can return: the nation of Israel must be restored; Jerusalem must be a Jewish city; & the Temple."

Autism (ASD, ASC) is the result of a genetic predisposition for specific neurodivergent conditions & traits. Neurodivergency is inherited. Specific to Europe/US: 1700s: First complaint of individual with autistic traits 1908: "Autism" coined 1943: First US diagnoses 1955: Tylenol invented 1/

shadowy shenanigans ...

The @washingtonpost.com story on Tylenol & autism leaves out a MAJOR 2.5M sibling-controlled study of children in Denmark, which "found no evidence that acetaminophen use during pregnancy was associated with children’s risk of autism, ADHD or intellectual disability." jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

It doesn’t matter if you are on the left or right, Donald Trump is still a criminal and the Jeffrey Epstein files needs to be released in full!!

Pause your doomscrolling and listen to this story.

Four of Trump's kids are now worth at least $100 million, according to @forbes.com estimates. They can thank the presidency. New story out this morning. www.forbes.com/sites/danale...

Let me be more blunt than usual. In the days since the Kirk "backlash," I've seen measurable declines in the amount of vigor and resistance many dems are willing to demonstrate on social media. Let's be clear...if this is you...you are contributing the expedited rate of destruction of freedom. Fact

For our October issue I wrote about the Roberts Court for its 20th anniversary, how it helped lead us to the current crisis, and what should be done about it:

NEW: In a win for voters, the 9th Circuit continues to block two Arizona voter suppression laws requiring documentary proof of citizenship to vote and allowing election officials to cancel voter registrations if they suspected someone of being a noncitizen. From: @jimsaksa.com

None of these are remotely likely — placating Trump to buy time, demeaning as it is, makes sense. But that should not be confused with a misguided belief Trump will engineer peace - let alone slow European support. Theres no risk-free lunch for Europeans here. www.cer.eu/publications...

Great article on conducting our social media experience with integrity; Don't be evil. Don't use evil platforms. Pushback on unethical behavior early and often.

⚡️#Ukrainian Defense Forces destroyed an ammunition depot in Russian-occupied Luhansk region. Such strikes might not get the same attention as burning oil refineries but they are extremely important for the frontlines. Russia intended to hand out ammunition and drones for its troops⤵️

I will always question the incentives of those who want to prevent scientists from learning why some people intentionally mislead others. Falsely smearing our work as "censorship" is designed to undermine research that might expose their incentives and harms. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePCn...

Gov Gavin Newsom quoting Donald Trump is extremely upsetting to the Acting US Attorney in Los Angeles. He probably just got a DM from Trump giving him new marching orders to prosecute someone.
