Was photographing this homage to Shirley Chisholm at 7 am today, in Brooklyn, when a worker from the construction site across the street started yelling "F- you Donald Trump! F- you Donald Trump!"

🗳️Voters around the country overwhelmingly supported child care and other child-focused ballot measures yesterday, despite Harris' (the "pro child-care" candidate) loss. I've been tracking these measures. See what has passed, and the few that have failed: hechingerreport.org/how-child-focu…

I remain highly skeptical of separating pre-K from a comprehensive birth-to-5 (really B-18) care & education system, but this is a great deep dive by Bryce Covert at what it took to set up in NYC - an inarguably impressive achievement! - and the importance of true universality.

Idaho is moving a radical child care bill that would eliminate all max child-to-adult ratios(!) and instead have each individual provider set whatever ratio they deem "appropriate." Shockingly, the bill is being promoted by the child care tech co. Wonderschool

You may be surprised at how grown-ups treat teens when parents are not watching. For Slate, I wrote about this and other lessons I learned about cities the year my son turned 12. slate.com/life/2025/03/t…

Hanging out, for teens, is what play is for younger kids "an urgent, developmental need." ALL KIDS NEED TIME TOGETHER! Keep schools open for mixed age, no-screens, free play! Great Kendra Hurley piece on how hard it is for kids to find a place to hang: slate.com/life/2025/03/t…

If this proves true, DOGE and Friends are blithely wiping out gold-standard education surveys and tools that give us our best look into how children are doing in school, trends in early childhood, etc. Unfathomable short-sightedness.

holy shit. families for safe streets just passed the nation’s first law requiring repeat reckless drivers get automated speed limiters installed on their cars. (real quick, let’s talk about why this is a game changer…)
