“Can’t believe NYC elected a Muslim as mayor.”
In truth—a Black American Christian woman swearing in a Ugandan American Muslim of South Asian ethnicity as his Syrian American wife holds the Qurans he swears in on, all while standing on the steps of a subway station—is the most NYC thing imaginable.

When the streets start telling the truth, it’s because the institutions won’t.
What’s become painfully obvious is that ICE agents aren’t trained to make us safer. They’re just recruits who thirst for power, violence, and cruelty.

AI is Destroying the University and Learning Itself
Students use AI to write papers, professors use AI to grade them, degrees become meaningless, and tech companies make fortunes. Welcome to the death of higher education.

I don't think $140k makes sense as a "poverty line," but worth noting such a family is likely paying a similar or higher total effective tax rate than most billionaires.
American taxes are structured to make it hard to turn income into savings but easy to grow existing wealth into greater wealth.
