On the left, my warning from September 2024 about what Trump 2.0 would look like. On the right, recent headlines.
I wish I'd been wrong. But because Trump is following a classic authoritarian playbook, itβs up to state and local governments to push back on this tyranny while itβs still possible.

Ergo 56 of the 491 men in her class to the 2 of the 9 women that you mentioned. Ergo 22% of the women in her class made HLR that year & only 11% of the men.
