Unpopular opinion: Yes, it's bullshit that Ghislane Maxwell is getting better treatment in prison than everyone else because she praised Trump. But it's much bigger bullshit that incarcerated people are treated so horrifically that toilet paper is considered a privilege.

But also, the _reason_ Mamdani could do this is because of the skill set someone like him has to learn being part of our communities. He is able to *perform* the "model minority" role, but is not interested in, and not aspiring to, whiteness. This combination is a hack that breaks media & power.

I wonder how many trans women have been killed by medical negligence over the fearmongering influence of "blood clots" from estrogen
I don't know anyone who's even gotten blood clot from normal dosages of estrogen, let alone die from one
But denying a transition with proper E levels is deadly.

These 20 House Democrats just joined Republicans in voting to fully repeal DC's police reform laws.
Wiping off the books critical laws on use of force, transparency, and preventing violent cops from getting rehired.
They think that they should have more say over DC police than the people of DC.

What does this man have to teach that there aren’t hundreds of better candidates for? Just because he and his cronies made sure the non-male and non-white economists could never get ahead, that doesn’t mean there aren’t many brilliant people available to take his classes.
