A fantastic read.
A colleague at Stanford’s business school used The Stanford Daily to argue—poorly—against DEI. The piece was riddled with historical errors and left one searching for fact, so I broke my public writing hiatus to respond.

State’s ‘millionaires tax’ has already generated $1.8 billion this year, blowing past state projections - The Boston Globe

Not to sound like a broken record, but the newest NYT/Siena poll contains some notable biases in favor of Republicans and conservatives, and it produces some absurd results. But you wouldn’t know it from the headlines! My analysis and how to sleep easier, in the replies.
