Mamdani’s parents crashing the stage is the most african thing I have seen all day. Mahmoud is even standing in front of his son. It’s like during graduation day when you congratulate a black graduand and it’s the mom who says “thank you” first.

People you can be sure do real work in New York:
- Street cleaners
- Parks maintenance
- subway and bus and ferry drivers
- cooks and waiters
People Mamdani shouted out. Respect.

Hello Bluesky! New work alert. Along with some great activists and scholars we collected some data about how queer and trans people connect socially and sexually in New York. Before we get in it, SSNAC - the causal inference framework we made. mpxresponse.org

In my heart tonight are scammers of health equity research who are maybe feeling very uneasy at this time.

In my line of work, this posture doesn’t make sense because Black women are also salaried by white racists, and will also do white supremacist violence at their behest when coerced. There is no “we”. There is no pure victim. There are principles that we have all been tested on and failed miserably.
It's why I don't have much left to say except "We warned you" because all of this was utterly predictable. They never hid it. White people just wanted to pretend that it wasn't happening to avoid confronting their racist friends and family.
Only saying once on bsky b/c I know it is not entirely useful, but it is totally exhausting that in 2016 some of us said “they’re Nazis,” some of us screamed “they’re segregationists,” and a whole lot of very serious people now posting about them being Nazis and segregationists gaslight us for years

Health researchers are actually fundraisers for their universities. No nih grants means a huge chunk of revenue gone. If it returns it will have been negotiated by MAGA-installed leaders who will lead a witchhunt.
The Trump administration’s NIH freezes do not only affect federal science agencies. NIH grants fund research at universities and many other institutions. Halting NIH grant reviews sabotages important scientific research everywhere.

“It’s cool because we put a lot of fixed effects in that bad boy”
An empirical econ paper needs two things: 738 robustness checks concluding we can’t really ever fully be sure of internal validity in the appendix, and one (1) wild back of the envelope calculation indicating that the result is world-changing in the discussion section
Now I've come across several instances of people writing, essentially:
'Let me provide a very rough estimate. Don't take this number literally, because it has several flaws.'
And then their number becomes cited as the canonical figure on the topic.
