So Rufo's article is based on the claim that Mamdani got 2140, an "89th percentile" score, below the median for acceptance to Columbia.
2140 out of 2400 is 89%.
That's not how SAT percentiles work.
A 2140 is a 97% percentile score for that year.

Chris Rufo and the NY Post have a new and shocking Mamdani BOMBSHELL:
His SAT scores were AVERAGE among admitted students!!!!!!!
This is definitely the sort of thing you report when a candidate has skeletons in the closet.

The Washington Post and LA Times editorial pages have gone full MAGA, MSNBC has purged all of its anti-Trump anchors, and Twitter is owned by a literal Nazi. Here's why liberal media bias is still a problem.

She raised that Trump flag like she thought it was a get out of jail free card. She was waving that flag because she assumed that cop saw her as a friendly and would give her a pass.
wondering when some police realize that these people will turn on them if they try to enforce the law against them

Pulling out the same type of device on a traffic stop that was used to beat police officers on Jan 6 is probably not the best plan.

the definition of adult vs child is always arbitrary but goddamn, the choices we make. 19: a child if you're trans and looking for healthcare. 12: an adult if you're Black and you've stolen a bike. 25: a kid if you're a white mass shoooter. 13: an adult if you're a girl getting married
The 20-year-old hackers are not “little boys” or “kids.” To call them such is to minimize the gravity of their actions. When I recall the long history of criminalizing Black youth and designating them “adults,” this makes my blood boil. The racialized construction of “childhood” holds strong.

so we're just going to go ahead and call the SS the SS now and note that Trump has secret police
