Hey @nytimes.com, did you change your headline, and change "Islamophobic attacks" on Mamdani to just "attacks," because Elise Stefanik and the GOP bullied you into it? Really? Why are they no longer Islamophobic attacks, as your headline originally and correctly stated?

This is a profoundly absurd show of force that could put Californians directly in harm's way.
Flying live rounds over a busy highway without coordination between state, federal, and local partners isn't just wrong — it's dangerous.

Oh.
The British voted for Brexit because of immigration.
But now, they want to turn back the clock in favor of the pre-2021 border system.
But now, they want to turn back the clock in favor of the pre-2021 border system.
Brits are pining for the pre-Brexit migration system
The idea was that leaving the bloc would give the U.K. back “control” of its borders and create a fairer system. But the widespread perception is it didn’t turn out that way.

I love that we live in a world where we're all supposed to now praise Trump for his peace-making and ignore the fact that at least 20,000 Palestinians have been killed on his watch, with bombs & bullets - & rhetorical support! - that he supplied to Israel.
