While hiding in a bathroom for two hours, this is the text Sarah Crescitelli sent her parents. Dad and Mom both crying re-reading it. #stonemanshooting @

- My best boy turned three yesterday. He was very confused about his birthday hat.
- Lot of emotional reunions here as kids start to trickle out of the area with the school and the Marriott, where some kids are being kept #stonemanshooting
00:00 - 🚨🧵: The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act goes into effect today, providing expansive protections to workers seeking accommodation for *any* pregnancy-related medical condition. It's the result of 10+ years of advocacy. Here's everything you need to know:
- Replying to @ChabeliC_Sarah made it out okay. Her parents picked her up from an area where police were holding kids at around 8 p.m. Her dad, a family medicine doctor, said he was afraid she would be one of the victims coming into Broward Health. She wasn’t.
- The dozen or so patients in the lobby Friday morning would have to be turned away. The clinic staff would have to be the ones to tell them. Each word landed like a blow. People cried. They screamed. They begged for help. It was “complete despair.”
- 🧵:Diaper need is an invisible part of poverty in this country. Parents can't use federal aid, like food stamps or WIC, to buy diapers. Low-income families spend 14% of their income on diapers alone. In most places, diaper banks are the only lifeline.
- Welcome to @19thnews. First up: It has taken women decades to catch up to men in the labor force. In Dec. 2019, women surpassed men for the 2nd time in history. They hit 50.04%. Then coronavirus hit. In 3 months, a decade of progress was erased.
- 👋Little bit of a personal news dump here! First, I am now @19thnews' economy and child care reporter focusing on bigger econ stories, with a greater focus on child care. Really excited for this evolution of my beat and for the recognition that child care deserves top billing.
- Members of @NASA's safety advisory panel said @BoeingSpace didn't perform key test (testing the full mission integrated w/ Atlas V in a System Integration Lab) that could have caught problems w/ Starliner. "That was somewhat surprising to us on the panel." bit.ly/2wHofwT
- .@SenGillibrand is planning to invite Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, to D.C. for a bipartisan dinner she is hosting in the coming month with all the women senators to give her a platform to discuss paid leave. More on Gillibrand’s plan w/ Manchin: 19thnews.org/2021/11/gillib…
- Changing the Step 1 test (CRITICAL for residency) from scores to pass/fail is HUGE. SO much time spent on memorization for a test where the # score dictates so much of your future. A good doctor is not necessarily a good test taker. CC: @DrMannyC, @anacarrazana, @anela_carrazanaThe co-sponsors of the USMLE (@TheFSMB & @NBMEnow ) have announced important upcoming policy changes regarding #USMLE eligibility and score reporting. Get the full details here and check out the FAQs associated with the policy changes: bit.ly/3bxtCPj
- 🧵: Discrimination against moms is an "open secret" in many workplaces. Workers are still being laid off while on leave, pushed out of jobs or subjected to comments like, “You probably have your hands full at home." There is little legal recourse.
