Be fair. This was just a routine Kavanaugh stop
MINNEAPOLIS: “All I did was step outside as a Somali American citizen, and I got chased by a masked person, assaulted, kidnapped. It was inhumane. If this is what’s happening to a 🇺🇸 citizen on camera, imagine what could happen to your loved ones.”

The dream of every Muslim is simply to be treated the same as any other New Yorker.
And yet, for too long, we have been told to ask for less than that, and endure hatred and bigotry in the shadows.
No more.

NEWS: James Comey pleaded not guilty to criminal charges that followed President Trump’s demand to prosecute.
The judge set a Jan. 5 trial date — but Comey is expected to try to kill the case before it starts, including by disqualifying Lindsey Halligan

i think this is exactly right
Possible to start to tell a unified story: "Trump is personally too old, crazy, and confused to run things, so at any given time the question is which co-president is in charge. At first it was Musk, & we got the crazy chaotic DOGE era. Then Navarro: a trade war that crashed markets. Now Miller..."

I'm curious how much the cuts to science and education are influenced by a belief that AI will drive technological advancement within the next decade. I would guess that you can wave away the importance of scholarship and research by humans if you believe that AI will fix everything, imminently.
So many groundbreaking scholars are only in the field because of these grants. We are going to lose a generation's worth of knowledge that we will never get back: www.insidehighered.com/news/global/...

WOW. Third Circuit nominee Adeel Mangi's letter to Biden (but, really, to all) is today's required reading: "I have battled for justice, even if it meant there would be none for me."
And, though unnamed, Sens. Catherine Cortez Masto, Jacky Rosen, and Joe Manchin get their earned response.
