Jessica Yellin Instagram - Still processing the debate.

Who thinks we’ve jumped to the most nonesensical timeline?

Jessica Yellin Instagram - Zelenskyy is in the US to advance a peace deal. Trump is demanding he hand over some of his country’s natural resources - in rare earth minerals. (I explain why in today’s Substack).

But this meeting took bullying to a whole new place. Recall in the past JD Vance maintained that the US shouldn’t care about Ukraines fate. And both he and Trump often repeat Kremlin false talking points about Ukraine.

Jessica Yellin Instagram - Feeling weird? Dissociated? Out of it? Apparently that’s a normal stress response. Part of a fight or flight reaction — even if you haven’t personally suffered a loss. It’s of course worse if you have.

Does this ring true for you? Therapists have any tips?

Jessica Yellin Instagram - Here’s my quick breakdown of the Harris/Trump debate.
Usually I can find strong and weak points on each side. Not tonight. It was lopsided showing. And I’m not alone in that assessment. Watch the video for details.

Jessica Yellin Instagram - AZ STATE SEN ANNOUNCES ABORTION PLANS
Arizona State Senator Eva Burch is a registered nurse and a mother to two boys. She says she is also pregnant with a nonviable pregnancy, not for the first time. She got up in front of her fellow Arizona lawmakers to share her story — including her plans to abort her current pregnancy.

Burch, who worked for years as a nurse in women’s health clinics, said she thinks Arizona’s abortion laws “shame” women. AZ bans abortion at 15 weeks with no exceptions for rape or incest. Before the 15-week mark, by law pregnant people must undergo a transvaginal ultrasound, hear a list of “alternatives” to abortion (even when the pregnancy is nonviable), and wait 24 hours before getting an abortion. Burch called these requirements “cruel.”

Burch also told a story about prior challenges accessing abortion care in 2022, before Roe was overturned. She said she began to miscarry a pregnancy she had wanted, and despite the miscarriage hospitals wouldn’t perform her abortion earlier than scheduled because she “wasn’t bleeding out.” She was able to get an abortion at a clinic the following day. Just 2 weeks later, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade.

Burch says she’s sharing her stories now not to justify her choices but to raise awareness of the impact laws have on real people.

What do you think of her choice to share her story? Would you like to hear more lawmakers stories around their own pregnancies?

Jessica Yellin Instagram - BEYONCÉ TOPS COUNTRY CHARTS
@beyonce made history this week as the first Black woman to top Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart with her single “Texas Hold ‘Em.” Her other new release, “16 Carriages,” is number 9 on the chart.

Beyoncé is also one of only two women solo artists to debut singles at number 1 on the country charts (the other is Taylor Swift, naturally). And Beyoncé is the first woman to top both the country and R&B/hip-hop charts since they were established in 1958. Is there anything she can’t do?

Both new singles are from her new album which drops in March. The new album’s title has yet to be released, but Beyoncé has referred to it as “Act II” of her 2022 album Renaissance.

Jessica Yellin Instagram - “COWBOY CARTER” WINS RAVES, SPARKS DISCUSSION

@Beyoncé today released her album “Cowboy Carter,” her country music debut that’s already garnering rave reviews and prompting cultural conversations about race and genre.

When Beyoncé first announced she would release a country album, some were surprised by the departure from her typical pop and R&B sound. Country, in particular, has long been associated with whiteness — and sometimes specifically with anti-Black racism. At the same time, many country artists have achieved mainstream success by pivoting away from country into pop, hip hop, and other genres with Black origins.

But critics are pointing out that country music, like most American music, has its roots in Black music — early influences included the blues, gospel music, and of course, the ubiquitous banjo, descended from West African instruments. And in a world where white artists often achieve success by appropriating Black musical styles, Beyoncé’s choice to reclaim country music feels especially resonant.

Of course, the 27-track “Cowboy Carter” isn’t your average country album. Covering the Beatles’ “Blackbird,” reimagining Dolly Parton’s “Jolene,” interpolating the Beach Boys’ “Good Vibrations,” and even dipping into the 18th-century operatic aria “Caro Mio Ben,” Beyoncé broadens what country can be, with backup from established country legends and up-and-coming artists as well.

Jessica Yellin Instagram - VP HARRIS IS THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE
The head of the Democratic National Committee says VP Harris officially secured enough delegates to become the party’s nominee for president.

The delegates’ online voting process doesn’t officially end until Monday, but Harris has now secured more than the 2,350 votes needed to become the nominee. She was running unopposed, so this is not a surprise, but it is notable she clinched the votes just one day after voting began.

Jessica Yellin Instagram - NORTH DAKOTA STRIKES DOWN ABORTION BAN
A North Dakota court just ruled the state’s total abortion ban unconstitutional, violating residents’ rights to health care autonomy and privacy.

The Center for Reproductive Rights, which was a lead plaintiff in the suit that overturned the law, said the new ruling “means it is now much safer to be pregnant in North Dakota.”

Judge Bruce Romanick wrote in his opinion that “The North Dakota Constitution guarantees each individual, including women, the fundamental right to make medical judgments affecting his or her bodily integrity, health, and autonomy, in consultation with a chosen health care provider free from government interference. This section necessarily and more specifically protects a woman’s right to procreative autonomy — including to seek and obtain a pre-viability abortion.”

There are currently no abortion clinics in North Dakota, but this ruling means doctors at hospitals can provide patients emergency care without fear of prosecution and penalty.

Does this ruling surprise you? Let us know in comments.

Jessica Yellin Instagram - A new lawsuit alleges that groups helping to organize and fund some of the student protests have ties to Hamas.

Please read the whole carousel for context and more information. There is no allegation that student protesters are aware of any such ties. And any of these claims would have to be proven in court. I link to the lawsuit in stories.

Going forward I will share public comment from the groups implicated by and named in the lawsuit.

The lawsuit has far more detail than I shared here. Please read the lawsuit - it’s available to the public, filed in U.S. district Court for the Eastern District of Columbia. It’s filed by a highly reputable lawfirm.

Jessica Yellin Instagram - A blow to the Trump administration’s deportation regime. In a 9-0 ruling the Supreme Court denied an emergency appeal and ordered the Trump administration to return a man who was taken from the US to that prison in El Salvador because of an “adminstrative error.”

While the story is getting a lot of coverage from legacy media sources and sources on the left and center — very few sources on the right are even acknowledging it. To track who is covering which immigration stories and how they’re doing it, you can use Ground News.

Jessica Yellin Instagram - Senate Considers Measure to Support Parents

Today Sen JD Vance went to the border to campaign.

While he was there his colleagues in the US Senate voted on the precisely the kind of pro-family legislation he says he supports.

The Tax Relief for American Families and Workers Act contained a Child Tax Credit that would have made it easier for low income families to qualify for child tax credits. It also would have increased the single child tax credit from $1,600 per child to $1,900 in 2024 and $2,000 in 2025. It also would have made it inflation adjusted in future years. The non partisan Congressional Budget office said the measure would have cost roughly $33 billion, and would be paid for with other offsets so it would have had very little impact on the deficit.

Watch the video to find out the fate of this bill.

Jessica Yellin Instagram - Today the Supreme Court issued two decisions related to forced removals of immigrants from the US to that prison in El Salvador.

In both cases it favored the Trump Administration’s moves - in one instance allowing the government to continue forced removals. In the other allowing them to keep a man who was removed on an “administrative error” in jail.

More details on why and what next in the video.

Are you surprised by this?

Jessica Yellin Instagram - Huge props to @juliaboorstin and @secraimondo @cnbc #cnbcchangemakersfor putting this issue front and center. Hard to believe it needs this much explanation in 2024 but…it does.

Here Gina Raimondo, U.S. Secretary of Commerce, pushed for CHIPS Act funding for semiconductor plants to be tied to plans from CEOs to provide employees access to child-care services.

Raimondo said at CNBC’s inaugural Changemakers Summit on Thursday in New York that any person, politician, CEO or otherwise, who says child-care policy is social policy is “deeply misguided.”

Jessica Chang, founder and CEO of Upwards, which provides access to child-care benefits and services to Amazon, the U.S. Army and other corporate and government clients, pointed in a separate Changemakers’ session to a recent Boston Consulting Group study that reports the return on investment from child care has been measured at between 90% and 425%.

Note: she’s not saying businesses need to provide child care. Nor is this an economy wide mandate. Her dept is giving away billions to massive companies that make semiconductors, and she’s saying it you’re benefiting from all this public $$, your company needs to have plans in place that allow women workers to excel there too,

Per CNBC: Raimondo, who is overseeing a Commerce Department budget that has ballooned from a historical average of $10 billion to $150 billion.

Raimondo noted that half of Americans live in a “child care desert,” with not enough services available at a cost that is affordable.

“I’m trying to raise my voice that this is a commercial issue, not just a women’s issue or social issue,” said Raimondo, who will host a Commerce Department child care summit in June.

Jessica Yellin Instagram - IT COSTS WHAT?!

From housing to eggs - prices are skyrocketing again.

Brace yourself. Higher tariffs could mean still bigger price hikes.

Egg inflation has been a big driver of rising food costs. It accounted for nearly 2/3rds of last month’s food price increase according to the US Bureau of Labor and Statistics. Bird flu is largely to blame- fewer chickens means fewer eggs.

Drought, high grain prices and interest rates are pushing record-high prices for meat products including ground beef and steak.

Housing is another. The latest Consumer Price Index showed shelter inflation — a measure of the average cost of US housing — rose to 4.4% year-over-year in January. It remains a major factor in keeping core inflation high.

It’s a lot. In need of some light relief? Swipe to see our favorite inflation memes. Sometimes you’ve just got to laugh

Jessica Yellin Instagram - Members of the House Democratic Women’s Caucus wore suffragette white to symbolize their commitment to women’s rights and in particular reproductive rights.

President Biden spent some time in his remarks on the Supreme Court’s ruling rolling back reproductive rights - and the political impact. President Biden said: “In its decision to overturn Roe v Wade, the supreme court majority wrote: ‘Women are not without electoral or political power.’ No kidding. Clearly, those bragging about overturning Roe v Wade have no clue about the power of women in America. They found out, though, when reproductive freedom was on the ballot and won in 2022, 2023, and they will find out again, in 2024.

The President invited to the speech a woman who had to travel out of Texas to get an abortion when her health was in danger. Also in the chamber, another woman whose IVF procedure was put on hold in Alabama after the state supreme court put those who provide IVF services in danger of civil litigatin.

It was a feisty speech overall. The President also challenged Republicans on tax policy (vowing to ensure billionaires never have a lower % tax than working Americans); and immigration (asking republicans to support the border security bill they once wanted) among other issues.

The Democratic women’s caucus posted the following message on X: “For tonight’s State of the Union address, we’re in white and wearing ‘Fighting for Reproductive Freedom’ pins. Our message is clear: we won’t stop fighting until all women can access the health care they need to control their own lives and futures.”

Jessica Yellin Instagram - This is such a clear example of the saying a lie travels further than the truth. But that’s not a reflection of human nature. It’s a product of the algorithm that pushes panicking rage baiting content to far far far more people than factual news. So when META says they’re ending fact checking - that’s just part of the problem here. (They barely did fact checking anyway.)

There is so much misinformation about the fires. Lots of you ask me - do these people think their info is accurate or are they spreading it maliciously? I don’t know this guy so I can’t speak to his state of mind but this is a full on lie that will panic people, make them feel abandoned by their government - and it serves two purposes: to try to undercut California’s democratic officials and environmental standards based on lies (there are plenty of legit reasons to take issue with the official response to the wildfires). AND to gain this guy followers. He’s no better than a scammer who manipulates fire victims for his own gain.

If videos like this keep getting more support than factual videos, where will you turn for factual information? (And is this how social media dies?). Share your thoughts in comments.

And thank you @jamiepatricof for flagging this for me!!

Jessica Yellin Instagram - THE SEARCH FOR SNL’S JD VANCE

With Maya Rudolph ( @princesstagram ) set to return to her role as VP Kamala Harris on Saturday Night Live, one question remains: Who will play JD Vance?

Lots of you let us know who you think should play the Republican VP Nominee, and we wanted to see how some of the lookalikes stacked up next to Vance himself.

Vote below who you think should take on the role. Have another idea but don’t see them listed? Let us know in the comments who you want to see step into Vance’s shoes.

Jessica Yellin Instagram - SCHOOL SHOOTER’S PARENT GUILTY OF INVOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER

A Michigan jury finds Jennifer Crumbley, the mother of a school shooter, guilty of four counts of involuntary manslaughter. It took just 10 hours for the jury to reach this verdict. It is the first time in US history a parent has been convicted for the shooting crimes of a child. Crumbley could be sentenced to as many as 15 years in prison.

Her son shot and killed 4 and wounded 6 others at Oxford HIgh School in 2021. He had exhibited worrying signs of violent inclinations, but his parents still bought him a gun and failed to tell the school about it while discussing his behavior (He’d drawn a graphic picture of a shooting.)

The prosecution said that his parents could have prevented the shooting by taking “just the smallest steps.” Defense attorneys blamed the shooter’s father, the school, and the shooter for the crime and warned that finding the mother guilty would make parents liable for all manner of actions by their kids.

The shooter’s father, is also charged with involuntary manslaughter and will stand trial separately.

Do you think parents of school shooters should face criminal charges? If so do you think this will help prevent other shootings or do you see it, instead, as purely about punishing the parents?

Jessica Yellin Instagram - MAGA MELTDOWN

Before we start, a disclaimer: We know this isn’t the kind of news that actually matters in your life. It’s not the kind of news we like to cover at NNN. But this is getting a lot of oxygen and it could spiral into something larger. So we figure we should give you the basics now.

MAGA stars Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Trump-ally Laura Loomer are feuding viciously over who is more racist. Loomer’s track record includes a laundry list of Islamophobic hate and 9/11 denialism plus new attacks on VP Kamala Harris’s Indian heritage. On the other hand, MTG has a lot to say about Jewish space lasers.

It’s laughable for either of these women to shame anyone else for hate speech, but I guess the election’s getting to all of us. What’s next, a guy who hangs out with RFK Jr. spreading lies that immigrants are eating weird animals? Oh wait…

Jessica Yellin Instagram - U.S. TO REQUIRE CONSENT FOR PELVIC EXAMS, 4 YEARS AFTER SCANDAL REVEALED

The US government says hospitals now need written consent to perform vaginal exams or risk losing Medicare funding. This, after a @nytimes investigation found that some teaching hospitals were conducting medically unnecessary pelvic exams on sedated patients without consent. And it’s been happening for years. The Department of Health and Human Services @hhsgov is cracking down four years after the investigation was published in 2020.

Backstory: Medical students at teaching hospitals learn from observing doctors and by practicing procedures themselves. In service of this education, some healthcare workers have conducted pelvic exams at hospitals without patients’ consent or knowledge, while the patients are sedated for other procedures. These extremely invasive exams involve doctors inserting their hands into patients’ genitals. The exams can also cause lingering discomfort and pain if conducted when a patient isn’t conscious and able to say when something hurts. It should be obvious that a pelvic exam without consent is a violation, but this practice has been normalized in many healthcare environments.

HHS has now established guidelines to ensure hospitals comply with their rule and obtain consent for these procedures. We will link to an article in stories so you can read more details. If. you’re finding this post long after our story has expired — google “She Didn’t Want a Pelvic Exam. She Received One Anyway” by the New York Times.

Have you ever felt you were violated by a professional in the medical setting? Does this practice surprise you?

Jessica Yellin Instagram - ALABAMA V IN-VITRO FERTILIZATION
After the Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe v. Wade, many fertility doctors and advocates sounded the alarm that the next target could be in-vitro fertilization. Now, Alabama is realizing those fears. The Alabama Supreme Court ruled that frozen IVF embryos are legally “children,” citing the Bible in its ruling. Apparently, life begins at conception – even if conception occurs in a Petri dish.

The legal implications of this ruling are many and chilling. We don’t know yet what this means for families in Alabama who currently have frozen embryos stored in the state’s five fertility clinics, but beyond that — this is a worrying precedent to set in any state. Other states decide to adopt similar measures, throwing into doubt the future of IVF for many who need it.

Jessica Yellin Instagram - WNBA PAY OUTRAGE IN CONTEXT

The success of @ncaa women’s basketball has changed the conversation. So many of you are outraged that @caitlinclark22 electrified the public, set new records for college ball – for both men and women – and helped drive the season to record high ratings. She was just the number one @wnba draft pick (going to the @indianafever) but she’s getting paid a paltry sum. Only $76,000 her first year. Tons of you are outraged by this. You asked how could this be?

We did the research and have some answers. It’s a bad news-good news scenario. As in things have been bad, but they seem to be getting better. And whether they get much better depends on you and me.

Check out the reel for details. What do you think? If you don’t already, will you start paying to see women’s sports?

PS @deloitte predicts women’s elite sports revenue will top $1 billion dollars worldwide for the first time this year. And women are expected to earn more sponsorships at higher rates.

And of course Clark is expected to make much more than $76k on sponsorships, and other deals.

Jessica Yellin Instagram - Possible insider trading. Chaos. Indecision. Irrational policy. And a position that alienates allies and moves markets away from the dollar.

But did you know that China owns about $760 billion in US Treasuries. There’s been a massive sell off of treasuries. Who might be doing it….?

Jessica Yellin Instagram - There are so many stories of people helping - and so@many of you are asking what you can do.

Jessica Yellin Instagram - 7.7 Earthquake Strikes Tawain

A massive earthquake struck Taiwan Wednesday morning. It was initially recorded as a 7.4 magnitude quake but that has been revised up.

The quake which hit Hualien, in Eastern Taiwan, and reportedly could be felt across the island. Some buildings were knocked off their foundations, others crushed, freeways can be seen in video shifting. Internet and power are reported to be out to thousands.

Both the Philippines and Japan issued Tsunami warnings for populations in some coastal regions. And Tsunami waves are reported on one of Japan’s islands.

So far I do not have reports of lives lost.

Jessica Yellin Instagram - TRUMP CONVICTED

Donald Trump today became the first former US president to become a convicted felon. A New York jury found him guilty on all 34 felony charges for falsifying business records to covered up hush money payments before the 2020 election.

Sentencing will occur July 11, four days before he becomes the GOP nominee at the Republican National Convention. Trump could face a maximum of four years in prison and/or pay a steep fine.

After the trial, Trump called the trial “rigged” and a “disgrace” and said the “real verdict” will come on Election Day. He also alleged without evidence that the trial is a form of election interference.

Trump is expected to appeal the verdict.

Jessica Yellin Instagram - MEXICO SET TO ELECT FIRST FEMALE PRESIDENT
Both leading candidates in Mexico’s presidential race are women, meaning the country is poised to elect its first woman president this Sunday, June 2.

The current frontrunner is Claudia Sheinbaum, a former governor of Mexico City and a protégée of current President López Obrador. She is a scientist by training with a PhD in energy engineering and has written extensively on sustainable development and climate change. If elected, she would also be Mexico’s first Jewish president.

The other top contender, Xóchitl Gálvez, is a fierce critic of López Obrador. Gálvez is a senator and computer engineer who also previously directed the National Institute for Indigenous Peoples.

A third (male) candidate, Jorge Álvarez Máynez, is also vying for the presidency but polling behind Sheinbaum and Gálvez.

Jessica Yellin Instagram - HUMAN MOMENTS OR UNACCEPTABLE IN LEADERS?
A House Oversight Committee meeting on whether to hold AG Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress descended into chaos spurred by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s comment on Rep. Jasmine Crockett’s appearance. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez demanded Greene apologize (she refused), and Crockett clapped back with her own attack on Greene’s appearance.

This fight struck us because it is just so unusual to see in Congress (well, except a few months ago when Sen. Markwayne Mullin challenged the president of the Teamsters to a fistfight on the Senate floor). It is what we see on social media these days and increasingly in protests and even in our own disagreements. So many of us find it increasingly impossible to disagree without getting hostile and worse.

When it’s modeled in the halls of government and by our elected leaders that sets off alarm bells for me. I wonder - what do you think of this? Is it a sign that something is wrong with how we interact or just human moments? If the former what can and should our leaders do to shift and represent differently? Or are there times when provocateurs (MTG) require call outs and and forced boundaries? How would you explain this moment to a child you’re teaching to fight with ideas not personal attacks? Or how do you retain your calm when provoked in moments like this?

Jessica Yellin Instagram - NYTIMES INSTAGRAM
Check this out. The @nytimes is up with a piece on Instagram becoming a home for news! We agree Instagram has a troubled relationship with news and news providers (or maybe we should say a troubling relationship….) Thank you to @whatsupna and @mike_isaac for featuring News Not Noise.

When we started News Not Noise in 2018, I only knew of one account posting news on Instagram — a Texas reporter with the account @smarthernews whose name I’ve sadly forgotten. At the time there was no other national journalist doing this. It was before reels existed and before TikTok videos were a thing. We took a big leap, started sharing news this way and proved there is an audience on Instagram hungry for fact-based information, curated and told clearly from a friendly voice. That paved the way for so many others to follow. I’m honored to be mentioned alongside news creators @mosheh @sharonsaysso and @emilyinyourphone in this article.

Our work requires innovation, creativity, and constant adaptation. We are so glad we’ve proven that this model works, and we couldn’t have done it without you showing up every day, confirming that people do want to be part of a community that cares about being informed. That cares about facts, expertise, and our impact on the world.

This is more important than ever in an election year. And Instagram is increasingly making it difficult to reach an audience. So to help us stay strong and reach new people — I’m making a request of everyone. If you care about the work we do to bring you calm, fact-based news even as the IG algorithm suppresses it:

⭐️ Please send this account to 3 friends who don’t follow us and ask them to follow. (You could send it to more than 3 if you’d like 😊)

And you can read the NYT article at the link in stories & bio.
Thanks for making this such a fantastic community!

Jessica Yellin Instagram - TEENS & PHONES/SOCIAL MEDIA
Jonathan Haidt (@jonathanhaidt), NYU social psychologist and author of “The Anxious Generation,” says kids shouldn’t have smartphones. He argues that Gen Z’s mental health has been damaged by social media and smartphones, which he calls “the Great Rewiring of Childhood.” One path forward he suggests: creating new social norms around phone use and social media use, including waiting until high school to give kids smartphones.

Today Florida took a step towards something similar. Gov. Ron DeSantis just signed a law banning Florida kids under 14 from having social media accounts, and requiring parental consent for minors under 16 to create social media accounts. (The law also requires websites that host adult content to verify the age of users, possibly by uploading photo IDs.)

What do you think about all this? Should kids have phones and social media before high school? Whose job is it to protect kids online? Tell us your thoughts in comments.

And “The Anxious Generation” is available tomorrow, March 26, wherever books are sold.

Jessica Yellin Instagram - Update: @nbcnews reports that one person has died, 3 people are in critical condition, 5 in serious condition and 1 has non-life-threatening injury. And, per @nbcnews , law enforcement currently believes the shooting was criminal and not linked to terrorism.

KANSAS CITY PARADE SHOOTING
The Kansas City Star reports that two armed people are in police custody after a shooting at the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl victory parade. Shots were fired near Union Station in downtown Kansas City, Missouri and CNN reports more than 10 people were struck. We don’t have the identity of the people shot. We will update here as more information is made public.

Law enforcement is asking people to clear the area.

According to the Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, Missouri has “appallingly weak gun laws and one of the country’s highest gun death rates.“

Jessica Yellin Instagram - Richard Serra, one of the most celebrated sculptors of the modern era died today. He was 85. The New York Times reports he died of pneumonia.

I remember tagging along as my parents drove to see – or rather experience – Serra’s sculptures. Sometimes much to my frustration, my parents would drive an hour out of our way to visit a Serra installation. (My parents really liked art.)

Spending time with a Serra sculpture is a visceral experience. They are massive works that take up space and allow you to experience awe, endless perspective shifts, and sometimes a little anxiety as you move through them (they’re made of rough hulking metal, sometimes pitched at an angle with no visible screws or means of support).

Serra’s work gained attention in the 1960s and acclaim in the 1970s and 1980s.

In a @nytimes obituary for Serra, Roberta Smith describes his work this way:

“Mr. Serra’s most celebrated works had some of the scale of ancient temples or sacred sites and the inscrutability of landmarks like Stonehenge. But if these massive forms had a mystical effect, it came not from religious belief but from the distortions of space created by their leaning, curving or circling walls and the frankness of their materials.

This was something new in sculpture; a flowing, circling geometry that had to be moved through and around to be fully experienced. Mr. Serra said his work required a lot of “walking and looking,” or “peripatetic perception.” It was, he said, “viewer centered”: Its meanings were to be arrived at by individual exploration and reflection.

For anyone questioning why I’m posting on this: culture is news. It’s worth pausing to recognize the creative minds that recast what we consider beautiful and allow us to experience awe.

Your thoughts?

Jessica Yellin Instagram - FIRST TRADITIONAL PRESS INTERVIEW AS NOMINEE

VP Kamala Harris has agreed to sit down for a traditional press interview alongside nominee Gov Tim Walz - and they’ll do it with @cnn’s @danabashcnn .
The political press has been clamoring for an opportunity to interview Harris ever since she entered the race. This will be her first as the nominee.

The interview comes as the traditional media finds itself at odds with other media personalities who are getting more access to the candidates — especially content creators who tend to promote the campaign’s messages online.
Whatever knocks you have against the DC press, a sit-down like this has advantages for voters. Serious reporters who cover Washington talk to experts and electeds on all sides. They have historic knowledge of institutions and a memory for what policy has been attempted before; they also understand where the votes are and therefore can engage candidates on questions including: can this get passed? What are the costs and unintended consequences? A sit down like this allows voters to hear the candidates speak on topics that matter but which the campaign might not have addressed and it's a way to pressure test the candidates — to assess their readiness for the rough and tumble of DC politics — and their ideas.

As a matter of strategy, there are obvious downsides to an interview: if the candidates stumble badly that provides material the opposition can use to its advantage. On the other hand, refusing to do an interiew would become an issue on its own. And Harris said she’d grant one this month — so failing to do so would become a big THING.

A note on Dana Bash: she is a serious, substantive reporter who has covered multiple presidential campaigns as well as Capitol Hill for years. I worked alongside her and can attest that she knows more about what’s happening in DC than many members of Congress. I’m personally delighted to see that the campaign granted this interview to a woman reporter. I can’t tell you how rare that is.

You can tune in to see the interview Thursday night on CNN.

Link in bio! 🙏🙏 MN STATE SENATOR CALLS PILOT A “STEWARDESS”👩‍✈️ Credit and thanks to @betches_news for finding this. Delta Airlines pilot Laura Haynor testified at a Minnesota State Senate Labor Committee meeting this month. She introduced herself as a pilot on behalf of the Air Line Pilots Association International, the largest union of pilots. And after all this pilot talk, State Senator Gene Dornink asked her what her typical work week looks like — “as a stewardess.” Haynor calmly corrected him, then Dornink apologized and said, “I don’t know why I said that.” (We have a guess.) Boy, I’ve certainly been there. Have you? We were trying to think of other professions for which people feel the need to qualify a woman in that role as a “female ____.” (E.g. female pilot, female doctor, etc.) In what other fields/roles do you see this happen?

Jessica Yellin - 31.8K Likes - TAYLOR SWIFT ENDORSES VP KAMALA HARRIS
@taylorswift today broke her silence on the presidential election, endorsing VP Kamala Harris. Here’s what Swift said in her endorsement:

Like many of you, I watched the debate tonight. If you haven’t already, now is a great time to do your research on the issues at hand and the stances these candidates take on the topics that matter to you the most. As a voter, I make sure to watch and read everything I can about their proposed policies and plans for this country.

Recently I was made aware that AI of ‘me’ falsely endorsing Donald Trump’s presidential run was posted to his site. It really conjured up my fears around AI, and the dangers of spreading misinformation. It brought me to the conclusion that I need to be very transparent about my actual plans for this election as a voter. The simplest way to combat misinformation is with the truth.

I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election. I’m voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them. I think she is a steady-handed, gifted leader and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos. I was so heartened and impressed by her selection of running mate @timwalz, who has been standing up for LGBTQ rights, IVF, and a woman’s right to her own body for decades.

I’ve done my research, and I’ve made my choice. Your research is all yours to do, and the choice is yours to make. I also want to say, especially to first time voters: Remember that in order to vote, you have to be registered! I also find it’s much easier to vote early. I’ll link where to register and find early voting dates and info in my story.

With love and hope,

Taylor Swift

Jessica Yellin - 26.3K Likes - Good news for the Associated Press (and freedom of the press). A federal judge has ordered the White House must reinstate full access for AP to cover presidential events including on White House grounds.

AP says this affirms “on First Amendment grounds that the government cannot punish the news organization for the content of its speech”.

Trump banned AP from reporting in the White House press pool and at some limited press events, after the AP refused to call the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America. They’ve been blocked since February 11.

Judge Trevor N. McFadden held off making his ruling immediate - giving time for the government to respond or appeal. It is worth noting Judge McFadden is an appointee of President Trump.

The White House has taken steps to exert more control over who gets to cover Trump, including where reporters get to sit during press secretary briefings and interviews. The Trump administration has also taken an aggressive stance towards media - most recently, threatening funding for public broadcasters NPR and PBS.

It’s worth noting: the @apnews kept up its thorough, fair and serious reporting even after they were booted from the pool.

Jessica Yellin - 23.3K Likes - FRANCE PROTECTS ABORTION IN CONSTITUTION
France became the first country to enshrine abortion access explicitly in its constitution. Legislators voted on a constitutional amendment recognizing abortion as a “guaranteed freedom.” This means future legislators won’t be able to “drastically modify” France’s standing abortion access laws.

French PM Gabriel Attal said of the vote, “We are sending the message to all women: your body belongs to you and no one has the right to control it in your stead.” The push to add a constitutional amendment protecting abortion began as a direct result of SCOTUS overturning Roe v Wade in 2022.

Last night @TaylorSwift endorsed Kamala Harris and the frenzy over this news seemed to enrage and confuse some skeptics. They say no one cares about a pop star’s opinions. Or in the words of JD Vance, “I don’t think most Americans…are going to be influenced by a billionaire celebrity.” (Has he met his running mate?)

The latest #s from vote.gov tell a different story via @npr. (In 2023 Taylor Swift got 23,000 voters registered on National Voting Day. And that wasn’t an election year. Let’s see how these #s change over time.)

Check out the impact she’s had already. The latest #s via @npr.

Jessica Yellin - 22.6K Likes - A stunning Oval Office confrontation today. Trump and VP Vance accused the Ukraine President of failing to show the US proper appreciation for its support in the war with Russia, repeatedly saying he didn’t appear thankful.

Zelensky subsequently left the White House before a mineral deal was signed - the purpose for his visit. A planned presser was also canceled.

Above is what Zelenskyy posted to X following the meeting.

Trump also posted on Truth Social: “I have determined that President Zelenskyy is not ready for Peace…I don’t want advantage, I want PEACE. He disrespected the United States of America in its cherished Oval Office. He can come back when he is ready for Peace”.

It’s unclear where negotiations go from here.

Caption : IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO ANYONE WHO CARES ABOUT NEWS, TRUSTED INFO AND MY WORK Meta says they will stop recommending political content on instagram and threads. When you look more closely that language seems to apply to anyone who shares news – including about social justice, world events, elections, war and more. So to ensure you can still find me and my work: 1. Please sign up for my newsletter. Link in bio. 2. Please follow my new account @Resetrecenter 3. Please share this video 4. Please get informed about the platforms and algorithms Note that they’re doing this in an election year- ensuring fewer people get informed about the election. It’s a cheap and irresponsible way to try and limit disinformation on the platform – less info overall might mean less disinformation. Or it means bad actors with deep pockets will game the system, while responsible creators get muted. To be specific, IG says they won’t recommend accounts that share politics content. Meaning we won’t be on the discover page or reels discovery or in search. (But that seems to be the case already and for a while.) They also say people who already follow politics accounts will still get our content. But lived experience on the platform has taught me that any time they roll back discovery or search – you all start saying you also aren’t getting this content or are having a hard time finding me on the platform. IG also says they’ll soon let people opt in to getting politics- which means less informed folks remain targets for bad actors but can’t be reached by responsible creators. What are your thoughts? And do you have suggestions for building an informed community off of this platform?

Jessica Yellin - 19.5K Likes - AP REPORT: HOSPITALS DENY EMERGENCY CARE TO PREGNANT WOMEN IN CRISIS

We are sharing this today as the U.S. Supreme Court hears a case challenging a federal law, EMTLA. The law requires hospitals to treat patients in crisis - including those in need of abortion services.
——
An astounding new @apnews article by Amanda Seitz reveals how harsh abortion bans have intimidated many hospitals and emergency rooms into denying emergency care to pregnant women in crisis.

Seitz shares the stories of women who were denied care, who lost their pregnancy in stillbirth, and were forced to suffer needless pain and indignity because healthcare professionals feared prosecution under abortion bans. And the AP reports that since the overturn of Roe, there’s been a spike in complaints that pregnant women have been turned away from emergency rooms — even though federal law requires ERs to treat patients in critical condition and/or active labor.

The federal law that requires that is the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act. EMTALA will go before SCOTUS Wednesday as the Biden administration argues that, under EMTALA, Idaho’s strict ban on abortion even in emergencies is illegal.

Jennifer Klein, director of the White House Gender Policy Council @genderpolicycouncil46 said in a statement that “all patients, including women who are experiencing pregnancy-related emergencies, should have access to emergency medical care required” under EMTALA.

If the Court sides with the Biden admin, Idaho (and other states) must provide abortion services for women in medical emergencies. If SCOTUS finds for Idaho, women in Idaho will have to go to different states to receive reproductive care including in acute emergencies when every minute they’re denied care could be life changing.

Do you think people in your world are aware of the stakes here? Would they be surprised that the Dobbs ruling is putting basic care and women’s lives at risk like this? What is happening in your state to protect women?

Please comment and share this.
