NYT has gained monopoly power in the American liberal economy. With no comparable competition, they can say “fine, good luck elsewhere” to nearly any person, idea, or story they want US liberalism’s ideas became more based in what NYT wants, not which ideas are strongest or best. Monopoly power!

Thankfully, the lesson from the Cornell mess is pretty obvious whatever way this goes: this really ought not be for universities to handle. Fund real police detectives and have them suppress rape carcerally rather than with puny academic sanctions.

I will never tell you everything is fine and you will always be safe or to ignore the very real threats trans people and our families face. But in a time of immense danger, panic is all the more dangerous. i think a lot about the Toni Morrison quote "we cannot be optimistic, but we can be clear."

The Schmitt thing is kind of scary because it shows just how much many elected Rs genuinely believe the crazy stuff. He and his staff thought they’d pulled the red thread on The Giant Conspiracy. They were so convinced it must be real they didn’t even think to double check.

Greek life is so cool because, even if they aren't cooking meth in the basement and some are, they create similar disincentives to blow the whistle or confront other members as the mafia: doing the right thing risks blowing up your housing situation, current social life, and future networks.

2. The ad "frames" the arrest on the $50 instead of her "total" debts to Marshall...of $3,600 at 18% interest. Holy crap. Marshall was charging her 18% INTEREST??? Yeah, I'd call that "preying on low-income families."

I think the lady from the ad is in the comments

Rob Super So at 18 percent interest on a $50.00 payment against a $3600 bill- that just pays the interest. Doesn't touch the principal.
How many years did she pay this amount?

Meischa Zimmerman
Rob Super as much as I could. My bond each time I was arrested was $200 and every penny was released to Marshall's practice. I paid no court costs or fees because there were no actual court dates served summons or filing fees, just missed payments. So,I paid $600 for the 3 bonds and month after month of $50 payments (until I had to choose bills or $50 to Dr Marshall). But, after 7 years, the total had gone up to approximately $7,880.
