My mom and stepdad are from the same diaspora group as Zohran Mamdani’s dad (same like “my stepdad was kicked out of the same town and knows some of his classmates”) and apparently the New York Times doesn’t understand how diaspora works, so I am going to tell you a little about my mom’s people!

my hottest educational take is that schools should actively, non-punitively teach students how to admit when they don't know something, aren't sure or have made a mistake, with various teaching frameworks adapted to support this ideal, because people who can't admit fault are breaking the world

👇🎯 Today in "neither our media nor our political system is designed to deal with a far right authoritarian party"
Elon Musk is not right about the fragility of our planet. RFK is not right about eating healthy foods. These concepts long preceded their malignant presence in the national discourse, and crediting them for being right about them is like crediting Jeffrey Dahmer for being right about the sum of 2+2.

New from me: The House GOP moved ahead with its plans to slash SNAP spending in the sneakiest way possible. By shifting costs to states but delaying it until after the midterms, they’re hoping to get credit for cutting spending with none of the backlash
