This should be obvious to everyone. But lots of people are pretending not to understand because they know it makes a lot of sense and don’t want to grapple with it. This conflict gets more attention, Israel’s bad acts more scrutiny, because we are underwriting it.

As a black child, she had to be escorted into school by U.S. Marshalls. In 2024, she’s had to witness Moms for Liberty trying to get her book about the period banned because it might discomfort white kids. It’s not ancient history, but history on repeat. nbcnews.com/meet-the-press…

Worth pointing out that the “source” for this claim is a marketing professor.

This was a portion that stuck with me as particularly embarrassing for the Cass Review. It's just asserting one proposed explanation for the facts can't be correct based on vibes.

The word misinformation has been thrown around with wild abandon by Hilary Cass and others in response to criticisms of the Cass Report.

Actual misinformation has spread widely in relation to the report. The lion's share has been supporters of the Report overstating its results.

With some more context: Austin faced a huge surge in demand and rents went vertical. Instead of merely flatlining at a new, higher level when demand moderated, the building boom (which was chasing the high rents) is actually reversing the spike.

How many children and infants does the IDF need to kill for it to go from 'trope' to 'fact'?

There's a scenario you can imagine where Cass found kids in the UK were being rushed into transition without assessment, leading to high regret. That would have required us all to backpedal or be discredited... it just didn't happen and the GCs are playacting like it did.

it’s wild that coastal cities have spent years debating if YIMBY policies will lower rents, and Austin just… did it

they streamlined permitting, upzoned most of the city, and eliminated parking mandates. Tons of housing is going up and rents are plummeting.

YIMBY policies work

Can we crowdfund a way to stop this?

lmao this is egregious

This is a masterclass in deceptive statistics, using one of the most common deceptive techniques: relative change across unequal groups.

Note the legend on the top left, and that teenage girls in 2020 (post 'sudden change') still have the *lowest rate* of all groups...

The 'Freedom Convoy' was less sympathetic and a lot less effective, but they also generated basically none of this kind of pushback over tactics. Instead, you got lengthy think pieces on the importance of understanding their grievances.
