The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

While private schools in low-performing districts like Dayton, Springfield and Middletown tend to outperform the local school district, Ohio taxpayers are subsidizing private schools in the suburbs that don’t perform as well as the nearby public schools.

there is a certain liberal anti-affirmative action scholar who has insisted, like a rube, that once racial preferences are gone we can build support for class-based affirmative action. but the people who oppose affirmative action also very obviously oppose redress for class inequality!

(GenAI is wrong A LOT. And even though people tend to think it saves time, we now have randomized controlled trials that show situations where it takes *more* time even when participants self-report it's saving them time.)

Baltimore is seeing the city’s fewest homicides in 50 years. Here’s why.
Multiple people have taken credit for the historic drop that mirrors a national decrease in violent crimes. Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott says it’s due to a community-based approach to gun violence.

Mayor Brandon Scott has reduced crime in Baltimore by 62%, and now has the lowest homicide rate in Baltimore history.
How did he do it?
NOT be spending more on police. He did it by MAJOR investment in afterschool and literacy programs.

Exactly! My friend is from Egypt. Egypt is a country in the continent of Africa. If we are being logical, she's African American. Just like anyone who is from a country in Asia is Asian American & anyone from a European country is European American. BUT racism and race categorization is not logical.
Not to do TOO much Mamdani discourse this morning, but one of the reasons American racial categories are what they are is the idea that "African" is a single, coherent, and consistent racial identity. That belief is downstream of slavery ideology, and has no real salience for actual reality.
