Just doing my part to knock down autocrats (and aspiring autocrats) wherever I can

Here's a whole list of Native folks you SHOULD be following. They are brilliant, funny, smart and full of heart. The epitome of what community should and could be.

I would add: How much does Witkoff and even the potential investors understand about Russian industry and workforce competency circa 2025? Corruption, emigration, and cronyism have all weakened traditional Russian strengths, including tech and science education.

I am almost certainly using the wrong word, but my sense is that there are pretty large racial differences in where MLM couples in particular live in DC and likely elsewhere. So if folks are looking to find community on multiple axes, the kind of data you are thinking about adding will be helpful.

Interesting! Thanks for this. I was thinking about it some more and feel like the DC map would be even more stark if we could disaggregate by race. The income differences on the maps are unsurprisingly also demographic differences, with WLW households in much more racially diverse neighborhoods.

I don't know about other cities, but I feel like the HHI gap between MLM and WLW is really visible in the Washington DC toggle.

Among their target audience, though, there was no confusion. To Gen Z, Teen Vogue is and was synonymous with political journalism on topics relevant to them, and 'Old Vogue' is the outlier

It's this, but also the quality of life improvements that accompanied Ukraine's democratic reforms post-2014. There's a reason Russian conscripts were stealing Ukrainian televisions and refrigerators in temporarily occupied communities.

I know that I sound like a crazy person every time I try to explain to my family back home what DC is like, and how it runs on class and power solidarity that cuts across any ostensible ideological lines.

The next time I try and fail, I'm just going to whip out this article and make them read it.

Our entire discourse would be a thousand times better if one (1) person at each major publication understood binary vs. nonbinary identities, as well as social vs. medical transition.

I know a lot of this is bad faith, but some is just...failure to understand what we are talking about.

Yes, absolutely. Universal Pre-K is such a no-brainer in terms of public policy.

I know that moving out of the city when you have school-aged kids is a trope, but the psychic relief of living somewhere where you can just walk down to the local elementary school and enroll your child, and they will be at the same school as all of your neighbors, is not insignificant.

I think it's worse. The implication is that in the '80s you needed to lure girls with balloons, but in the 2000s, you could just fly to Epstein's Island. Hence the prominence of the airplane in the drawing.

This is how I feel when randos who I know for a fact have never left the continental United States start talking to me about "Khrushchev's mistake." It's a dead giveaway that their information environment is borked.
