Last year, Andrew Cuomo brought in nearly $5 million for "consulting."
We don't know who paid him.
Or who he now owes.
1. This week, news emerged that former trans athlete, student at Middlebury, and advocate for trans rights, Lia Smith, was found dead.
Her death was ruled a suicide.
But I argue that it's not only a suicide. Every trans suicide is a murder by those in power.

White words on a black background read: 50+ Immigration agents have the authority to detain whom they reasonably suspect are in the country illegally. We found more than 50 Americans who were held after agents questioned their citizenship. They were almost all Latino. ~130 Agents also can arrest citizens who allegedly interfered with or assaulted officers. We compiled cases of about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, accused of assaulting or impeding officers. ~20 Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.
Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.
I did it because the government isn’t.
This is what I found.
Breaking: Capitol Police have been called after a Republican congressional office was just caught displaying a swastika.
This comes one day after group chat messages were leaked of young GOP officials saying “I love Hitler” and calling to put Democrats in “gas chambers.”
The Trump administration just ordered two Gulfstream luxury private jets for Kristi Noem at a cost of over $172 million.
This comes as Americans can barely afford groceries.

Worth the long post. Judge Eddins (Hawaii Supreme Court) concurrence is worth the read.
