Real cities have crooks for mayors.

[Josh Gondelman @joshgondelman]

Humiliating for NYC to have our mayor indicted like we’re fucking Providence or something.

[Dave Jorgenson @davejorgenson]

has anyone done this yet

[Emmerich Davies @eeemda]

What betting site will give me odds on Kamala using Not Like Us as her campaign song?

[Emmerich Davies @eeemda]

@natterjee This almost reads like Kim Stanley Robinson fanfic...

[Emmerich Davies @eeemda]

@dynarski It's less kludgy (but not seamless) now. Just had to do it with a new iPhone in November. But I don't mind tinkering so ymmv...

[Emmerich Davies @eeemda]

@dynarski Unless you're (reasonably) opposed to google, GoogleFi and their unlimited plus plan has been wonderful to me domestically and internationally.

[Nayib Bukele @nayibbukele]

VERBATIM FROM THE ARTICLE:

“The result is a paradox of punitive populism, in which democratically elected leaders with broad anticrime mandates undermine liberal democracy by adopting iron-fist policies that are not only popular but can also be effective. Iron-fist policies are widely appealing to publics accustomed to living in fear for their safety; such is the case for generations of Latin Americans, many of whom have not known a reality other than widespread extortions, kidnappings, and murders.”

A PARADOX???!!!

Seems that since we cut off all their attack angles, they're resorting to “paradoxes”, untested examples from any nation's history, and a novel interpretation of “democracy” that ignores the will of the people and their wellbeing, yet makes a priority to protect the criminals and preserve corrupt bureaucracies and institutions by making it a taboo to change or reform them.

@_adasgupta It leads to cool things like Esther Dweck serving in Lula's cabinet (https://t.co/yUWzXmseR7). This was the first thing I could find of hers in English, but most of her writing is in Portuguese: https://t.co/vNZqopIVf1

[DFAntastic @PhillyTradesman]

Remember when a 19-year old Paige Bueckers used her ESPY’s speech to call out the excessive coverage players who look like her receive in the media?

[Emmerich Davies @eeemda]

@_adasgupta This trend seems more pronounced in the U.S./U.K. I was (pleasantly) surprised to see and meet very math-y marxists in Brazil.

[Emmerich Davies @eeemda]

@aganimian @aefpweb So well deserved Ale!

[Emmerich Davies @eeemda]

I've wanted to do this in education for a long time, so cool to see in health!

[Justin Sandefur @JustinSandefur]

How much of their $$$ do households spend on out-of-pocket health costs?

A stylized fact I didn't know: % is low in some of the poorest countries (Malawi, Mozambique) and richest (France, Germany), higher in between (Brazil, China). An inverse-U.
