CONFIRMED: Eileen Higgins, a Democrat, will be the new mayor of Miami.
She'll be the city's first Democratic mayor since the 1990s. She flipped the office from Republicans, and does so easily. She leads the DeSantis-endorsed Emilio González 59/41 right now with most ballots counted.

Facts. Having sat for and passed The Bar right after law school, can confirm—the Bar is designed to keep poor and non-white ppl from becoming lawyers. Law school doesn’t teach you Bar Exam content, nor does it predict legal effectiveness; similar to how LSAT score doesn’t predict law school success.
We're in the middle of bar prep season, so I feel obligated to tweet this:
THE BAR EXAM IS NOTHING MORE THAN A HAZING RITUAL MEANT TO SERVE AS A BARRIER FOR ENTRY FOR COMMUNITIES (READ: MARGINALIZED PEOPLE) THAT CAN'T TAKE THE TIME AND RESOURCES NECESSARY TO STUDY FOR AND PASS THE EXAM

After MTG lied about me for weeks, she said that she felt bad for my unborn child because he'd have me as a mother. Her rhetoric led to threats against my family.
No one, even her, should receive threats like those, but I'd like to see her own up to the role she played in creating them for others.

One theory I have is that competence, self-control, responsibility, and expertise have all been feminized, leaving “masculinity” with the realm of impulsivity and petulance. So the divide is not really between “femininity” and “masculinity” so much as between adulthood and childishness.
Everything else aside, the idea that this is a model for many men of *masculinity* is so wild. This? This is "manly"? This is how people think it's cool to act?

The political power of Christianity in the U.S. is really horrifying — but also, kind of unusual, considering the drastic divisions and denominations and interpretations. And, to put it simply, most Christians think most Christians aren’t “real” Christians, so the unifier (capitalism) is too strong
