Mamdani talking lucidly and passionately about trans rights and history in a video that should frankly shame every politician who has hemmed and hawed and triangulated and said, "Well, but sports..." It's not that hard to tell the truth and stand for what's right. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEvV...

I got to this part of the article and screamed because you do not need to ask experts if BASIC MATH IS IMPOSSIBLE

A paragraph from the quoted CNN story reading “Tuesday’s move is among Trump’s recent efforts to get drug makers to reduce their prices, which has been one of his central goals since his first presidential campaign.

I like how the news will be like “while the President claiming Portland was ruled by a giant skeleton named Mr Nibbles is not strictly true, it does speak to the anxiety of many Americans”
