Missing Results of Discrimination: A Systematically Comparative Meta-Analysis and Re-Examinations of Racial, Gender, and Intersectional Discrimination using Correspondence Audits
Intersectionality theory argues that race and gender cannot be fully understood in isolation or through an additive approach. However, field experiments frequently examine aggregate racial or gender…

Plessy v. Ferguson for trans people
🚨By a 6–3 vote, the Supreme Court UPHOLDS Tennessee's ban on gender-affirming care for minors, concluding that it does NOT discriminate on the basis of sex, is not subject to heightened scrutiny, and survives rational basis review. All three liberals dissent. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Taxpayers shouldn’t have to foot the lawsuits when cops do illegal stuff like this. It’s unconscionable.
Las Vegas police immediately arrest two livestreamers when one of them insults an officer after an anti-ICE protest ("honor your oath, bitch"). "You need to learn there's rules: don't run your mouth at me."

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Will’s right. I’ve been here all along.
Comedians and pro wrestlers are the professions who actually understand how crowds work. But Democrats are paying statistics nerds, who manifestly do not
But comedians know how to win over crowds; they get how contingent and local discourse actually is, and that reaching people is about sizing up audiences and relying on a deep well of practical wisdom and rhetorical experience. They know that you have to have to enact an ethos, not a caricature.
