Marjorie Taylor Greene's resigning in time to get a pension is a lesson to everyone.
Most Americans don't get *any* pension anymore, but Congress gave itself a pension after only five years of work.
Our "representatives" aren't working for us, they are [barely] working for themselves.

The rights of men don’t change when you cross state lines. The rights of women do. That’s a real problem.

Rosalind Franklin died at 37 of ovarian cancer attributed to radiation exposure from the methods she & her assistant used to photograph a cross-section of the DNA double helix.
Meanwhile, Watson won a Nobel off that work & survived to the ripe old age of 97 by simply: stealing those notes!

Hey folks, as news of Watson's demise spreads, please don't set aside his weighty legacy of misogyny and racism. He was truly among the worst of us. www.vox.com/2019/1/15/18...
DNA scientist James Watson has a remarkably long history of sexist, racist public comments
“People say it would be terrible if we made all girls pretty,” he said in 2003. “I think it would be great.”

Mamdani has shown considerable self-control in the face of some quite horrific tantrums.
Self-control imo is the quality modern masculinity is most sorely in need of.

BREAKING: Book banning extremist group “Moms For Liberty” LOST ALL 31 of their races.
Moms for Liberty is now 0-59 in contested school board races since 2023.
This is what happens when communities have had enough and say NO to book bans!

If the sandwich don’t split, you must acquit
Defense says that the officer's testimony was "very questionable" because he said the sandwich both exploded in spray of mustard and onions and also landed in its wrapper on the ground.

Y’all really don’t get how Black women be in the TRENCHES outchea. Like, after last night, the first women mayors were elected in Albany, Detroit, and Syracuse. And every one of them is Black.

The correctest take
Mamdani got a humanities degree.
His win helps to illustrate that one of the central forces driving higher ed’s dissolution of the humanities is the fear that teaching people how power works can also lead to their interest in seizing it on behalf of the less powerful.

Thank you, Charlottesville.
With over 80 volunteers since March, including 27 on Election Day, and 153 donations, I truly believe we built a people-powered campaign.
A thousand thank-yous would be insufficient, but I’ll keep saying it because I couldn’t have done it without you all.
