Larry Summers has been a sexist piece of garbage for years, why are people still putting him on tv and listening to him. He’s been wrong on deregulation, climate, inflation for decades
The emails have Summers reporting to Epstein about his attempts to date a Harvard economics student & to hit on her during a seminar she was giving.

I want someone to write an unauthorized biography of Larry Summers and title it MEDIOCRE WHITE MAN. He is the most listened to and promoted white guy who is consistently treated like a genius while being wildly wrong about nearly everything who isn't Elon Musk
Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

All of us should recognize that it is simply about the hate when it comes to banning trans athletes

Does not comprehend quantitative easing. The Fed plugged trillions of dollars into the economy in the great recession and covid to stay liquid. Like @kairyssdal.bsky.social says, this man doesn’t understand the economy or monetary policy
Trump on SNAP: "Our country has to remain very liquid because problems, catastrophes, wars -- it could be anything. We have to remain liquid. We can't give everything away."

We learned that most fresh blood stains vanish with cold water and inexpensive household cleaning products, and that acting fast is a crucial part of the process. Here's what to do: nyti.ms/4hAYz7O

This is an especially worrying statement when facial recognition can be inaccurate, biased, and generally make mistakes. Basing whether someone should be in the US or not, and ignoring physical media like a birth certificate, is ripe for disaster bsky.app/profile/jose...
New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people

it is a bit frustrating how many people respond to “donate money, not food” with some sorr of response that equates to “that isn’t as fun” as making cutesy bagged meals or “as real” as donating cans
give cans or shelf stable food if it is all you can do. but cash goes so, so, so much further

1. This is a fake problem. There aren't any trans women in NWSL. There aren't any trans women in the immediate pipeline that I'm aware of.
2. Using Banda for the cover photo here is obviously just extremely racist.
