So NYPD cops at our subway station asked my 3yo if she wanted stickers and then handed her these. I am livid. Handing out well-known white nationalist stickers to kids???

Yeah Christian has become synonymous with (replaced, really) Protestant. I worked on the NSYR survey years ago and a lot of people will respond to surveys as “Christian” if you ask them to categorize themselves between broad religions that include Protestant and Catholic.

This is dark:
“Being an influencer kid turned my relationship with my mom into more of an employer-employee relationship than a parent-child one,” she says. “Once you cross the line from being family to being coworkers, you can’t really go back.”
a former child influencer tells me about the cost of a life lived online – the first menstrual period turned into a sponsored post, the pressure to appear perfect, the endless work, the confusion of what was real and what wasn't

I join my colleagues in repudiating the racist attacks against Dr. Cross. Using standard language to describe datasets and methods is good scientific practice. It allows others to build upon that work (and replicate it) in the future.
Regarding allegations against Christina Cross: We, a group of scientists who lead public datasets (including PSID), wish to state that her discussion of PSID isn't plagiarism. Standard language to describe public data is, in fact, good scientific practice

Term limits are not a great idea; they create a situation in which politicians are less responsive to voters. You know what is a great idea? Campaign finance reform. We can make politicians less responsive to corporations *and* remove some advantages of being the incumbent.
