many points of this list boil down to MORE money for cops.
they’re asking for ONE BILLION DOLLARS in additional funding for the rape kits ALONE.
Survivors deserve policies that protect them and support their fight for justice. As President Biden and Vice President Harris take office, we\u2019ve sent them a letter outlining the actions we\u2019d like to see their administration prioritize over the next 4 years. @rainnaction 1/5 pic.twitter.com/dAuhCslVTm

Carceral.
Notice how they use "strongest predictor of arrest" as a metric for success. So it isn't even about victims...its about the system throwing more people in jail. They keep talking about rapists being "at large#"
Black organizers asked to defund the police based on our experiences and a white, well-funded organization basically shits on Black communities asking to REALLY FUND THE POLICE

Another side effect of VAWA: deradicalizing orgs, promoting a shift from treating VAW as a symptom of a gender oppression to...playing whack-a-mole with abuse where most victims dont get help from the state, but state efforts are deemed "successful" by its own parameters. pic.twitter.com/N5Zoi68EBB

3. Reading annual reports
This is the bread and butter of a good business analyst.
You cannot just listen to opinions from others.
You must learn to deep dive a business and make your own judgments.

For @MacroPoloChina I analyzed last year's ministerial-level promotions to posts in Beijing
TLDR: Ties to Xi Jinping—or a Xi ally—are very helpful! (1/14)
https://t.co/kO2A0Efyq2
Seven politicians were promoted to ministerial-level positions in central Party agencies last year
All are likely to feature on the next Central Committee selected at the 2022 Party Congress
Some could make the CCP's elite 25-person Politburo (2/14)
https://t.co/kO2A0Efyq2
Likeliest for the Politburo is Meng Xiangfeng, new Executive Deputy Director of the CCP General Office
He would replace Xi ally Ding Xuexiang as CCP chief-of-staff if Ding is promoted further in 2022
Meng worked under Xi allies Cai Qi in Hangzhou and Chen Xi in Liaoning (3/14)
Less likely for the Politburo but still important is Jiang Jinquan, new Director of the CCP Policy Research Office
He replaces 5th-ranked leader Wang Huning who led the Party's brains trust for 18 years
Wang remains prominent and will be <68 in 2022, so he'll stay around (4/14)
Other notable central Party promotions include Li Shulei and Liang Yanshun, who both assisted Xi when he led the Central Party School from 2007-2012
Li is a political conservative who is said to be quite close with Xi, even drafting his 2014 speech on culture and art (5/14)
