"For the past several years, America has been using its young people as lab rats in a sweeping, if not exactly thought-out, education experiment. Schools across the country have been lowering standards and removing penalties for failure." Not great, Bob. https://t.co/xcBBzEeecS

this graph doesn't show you the error bars the 2021 figure for trans could be anywhere from 3.8% to 8.3% (95% confidence interval) the 2024 figure could be between 2.1% and 4.8% so, it could be down, it could be steady, or it could even be slightly up 🤷♂️
It turns out ... trans identification really is in free fall among the young. So is nonbinary identity. See below from a nationally representative survey (the CES). @epkaufm was right. 🚨👀 (1/2) 👇

This is why it's going to be pretty tough to fit the founding generation into our own political conflicts. Most efforts to do so (while probably well-intentioned) are going to founder (ahem!) on the fact that our political questions and ideologies don't fit theirs very well.
I mean you take the point, but movements we would recognize as radical existed in the 1600s/1700s were known to the Founders: Levellers/Diggers/Fifth Monarchists, etc. The Founders mostly (Paine, a few others excepted) rejected this view. 1/

We should care about what makes government actions legitimate or not (research with my excellent student, Rebecca Bankhead!). https://t.co/verNrgbbSz

Older generations tend to look to the Constitution to determine what makes a government action legitimate — while younger generations look to other standards, especially themselves.

One of the best things about Wikipedia (that only college football fans know about) is checking player entries on Saturday nights.

I too have noticed people are less than thrilled in airports.
RFK JR: I’m looking at kids as I walk through the airports today...and I see these kids that are just overburdened with mitochondrial challenges, inflammation—you can tell from their faces, movements, and lack of social connection

in a new @goodauth post with @carolinelsoler using vote validated CES we show that nonvoters preferred Trump over Harris for president but Dems over Reps in down ballot races https://t.co/YzI2NUW5w3

From wrestling to Joe Rogan to mean tweets, the Republican Party under Trump exudes testosterone — and is reveling in it. — @grahamtoday

Does anyone else find it weird that even though Juneteenth clearly does not have an exact date we did not manage to put it on a Friday or a Monday to make a bigger more reliable holiday? I mean Independence Day has to be the 4th, but does Juneteenth *really* need to be the 19?

Best rioting video so far. So very 2025.
BREAKING: Alarms blaring on multiple iPhones that were taken from the Apple store in downtown LA. Displays on the devices read, "Please return to Apple Tower Theatre. This device has been disabled and is being tracked. Local authorities will be alerted.”

If one can say that "I enjoyed talking about the risks of authoritarianism" with @langfittnpr, then I wish to say that! Seriously, I think it is a good podcast. https://t.co/VBAjNqNOKU

Hundreds of U.S.-based scholars say the United States is swiftly heading away from liberal democracy and towards some form of authoritarianism. In this episode of The Sunday Story, NPR's Frank...

So is it common practice to not wear shoes while wrestling with an alligator? I just want to know the etiquette in case this comes up for me. https://t.co/9ymwhNsCHP
Only in Florida! 🐊 Florida man Mike Dragich, a licensed alligator trapper, took on a massive 10-foot alligator along I-95 in Jacksonville on Sunday.

@asymmetricinfo And this is while faculty are under pressure to raise their student success metrics, so there is an ever stronger incentive to say "well done" and move on. In the midst of all this national drama, why should any individual faculty member fight a good fight?

This seems both unjust and pointless to me. But it is also worth noting that outcomes like this are a natural consequence of giving too much discretion to leaders. We are prone to assume there will be a farsighted leader choosing the right, this assumption is often unwarranted.
BYU PhD student Suguru Onda just had his student visa revoked without notice. He’s being told to go back to Japan within 15 days because of his alleged criminal history. But he only has two speeding tickets and a fishing citation from 2019 that was dismissed. @kslnewsradio

Harris was perceived as more liberal than Biden, Clinton, or Obama had been when they ran. And while people saw Trump as more conservative than they had previously, they were still closer ideologically to him (1.62 points away) than Harris (2.06). https://t.co/wCGYMKAgUI
