Inequality, Crime, and Resistance in New York City, published by @TempleUnivPress is out today.
It is designed for course adoption and is out in paperback. If youโre interested in using it for a course, Iโd be very happy to pop into a class to discuss with students.

Heโs right. We donโt means test public parks or libraries etc. If anyone is worried about rich people getting access to public goods, there is a ready-made solution; taxation.

Is there anyone more spectacularly uniformed than the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives? He knows literally nothing about anyone or anything. He should try checking out a newspaper.
Raju: Do you think Howard Lutnick should resign?
Mike Johnson: Of course not. Itโs absurd. As Commerce Secretary, heโs done an extraordinary job for the country. Thomas Massie should stop playing political games.
Raju: Do you have any concerns about Lutnick ties to Epstein?
Johnson: I donโt know anything about it

Nothing they are doing should be remotely surprising. They were very clear about it. Anyone shocked now was not paying attention. The truth is that you helped facilitate it @joerogan either because you were too credulous or too foolish to see what was before your eyes.

Rogan: "You don't want militarized people in the streets just roaming around, snatching up people โย many of which turn out to be U.S. citizens that just don't have their papers on them. Are we really gonna be the Gestapo, 'Where's your papers?' Is that what we've come to?"

In the middle of all Trumpโs distractions, pay attention to the fundamental issue:
While the richest people are getting richer, tens of millions of people are struggling to pay for rent & groceries.
Now 15 million Americans are going to be thrown off health care. Unacceptable.

Hegseth: No more beards, long hair, superficial individual expression. We donโt have a military full of Nordic pagans.
