Each Monday morning, I throw a fantasy football stat thread together. As a reminder, these are not takes. This is just data. More context is always important.
This is the Week 4 data dump.

America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home.
Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.

The data is undeniable:
•15 of top 16 states with the highest rates of infant mortality are red states that deny/ban repro access.
•12 of top 13 states with the lowest rates of infant mortality are blue states that protect repro access.
Why is this even a debate?

Rabbi Noah Rubin-Blose said the fast is a powerful form of action in and of itself. But it’s also a Jewish practice. “There’s a Jewish tradition of fasting in times of great communal and spiritual distress."

(RNS) — The rolling Stop Starving Gaza fast is gaining traction among various JVP chapters around the country. A separate petition, ‘Jews for Food Aid,’ has garnered more than 20,000 signatures.

You are the ones conflating opposition to Israel's genocide and antisemitism! It is abundantly clear that the pro-Palestine movement is motivated by moral offense at the mass killing of innocent people, not antisemitism.

Oh cool, here's an @npr.org editor saying flat out that giant nationwide protests aren't "compelling" unless there's some kind of crime or vandalism, ie, unless there's a right-wing spin to put on it. If it's *merely* hundreds of thousands of citizens exercising their right to protest, meh, boring.
How does NPR cover peaceful protests when the only news is the protest?
Violence and vandalism although rare, tend to get mentioned

I've said this a million times but I'll say it again: the Dems constantly debating in public about whether to fight, and where to fight, and what language to use in fighting, and whether this is the right fight ... all of that just loudly broadcasts *weakness*, no matter what they conclude.
