A very smart and enlightening story - effectively about the USA of 2021 - by @AllMattNYT: "A Teacher Marched to the Capitol. When She Got Home, the Fight Began." https://t.co/gjIaKARb1g
In reality, a New York Times analysis of mortality data shows deaths in Russia during the pandemic last year were 28 percent higher than normal — an increase in mortality greater than in the United States and most countries in Europe. https://t.co/VbHtxa0l5m
Kristine Hostetter was a beloved fourth-grade teacher. Then came the pandemic, the election and the Jan. 6 riot.
A story of extremism and race and how the the divisive politics of post-Trump America divided a redoubt of Southern California conservatism. https://t.co/eEoxpETAa6
This is a lie. Protesters did not storm Iowa’s Capitol...they had a permit, they went through security, the building is open to the public.

Last year, I wrote about the unique discrimination that technology employees on H-1B visas face at companies like Facebook, Microsoft + massive outsourcing firms. We polled more than 10,000 tech workers to illustrate the lives of this silenced underclass

Yang dismisses his comments to the NYT about working/school children in a small apartment as "out of context" which is funny because the context of the interview -- about his campaign for mayor of New York City -- was that he did it from his country home.
