This is such an important thing. When we talk about how men are “more direct” we really gloss over the social and sometimes material consequences women and especially women of color face for being direct about anything.

The irony is that a century ago, the exact same kind of religious bigotry that Cuomo’s embraced down the stretch — we can’t elect someone from that faith or they’ll impose it on all of us! — was aimed squarely at Catholics like Cuomo.
Boy Mamdani's race is really a vivid reminder that anti-Islamic bigotry is 100% accepted in US public discourse. People don't even bother dog whistling, it's just right out in the open.

Lessons for #math education in this thread #iTeachMath
They’re still under the illusion that by running a bland, do-nothing, bipartisan-talking centrist they’re going to do anything to keep the fire-breathing, do-anything, burn-it-down GOP from dragging them? How is that possible?

Never take seriously those who ridicule low income people for having a smartphone or laptop.
“If they’re so poor how did they buy an iPhone???”
Because they’re trying to escape poverty, not the 1700s, genius. If you think basic tech access is luxury, survive a month without it.

I’m sorry, why are we using “critics accuse” language here? These are factually, unambiguously, extrajudicial killings. It’s not an opinion. It’s not a disputed or disputable claim.
