Great article about a friendship between Olympic legend Jesse Owens and his closest German competitor (Luz Long) - which became a lifelong friendship.
All of this despite the Nazi's carefully choreographed attempt to demonstrate "Aryan" supremacy.
A lesson on how to embarrass a tyrant.

Horrifying
ICE dragged a mother from her home in Massachusetts—clinging to her baby—without showing a warrant or ID.
When neighbors demanded proof, ICE sneered, “We don’t have to show you anything.”
That’s not law enforcement. That’s state-sponsored kidnapping.
This is fascism & it’s terrifying.

If members of the press are worried they didn’t give enough coverage to the cognitive decline of a sitting president, they have an amazing opportunity to make up for it right now.

He was the "first person to receive relief under Louisiana’s factual innocence statute... which expanded how prisoners can make innocence claims by allowing people to introduce new facts rather than simply raise constitutional violations as part of their post-conviction review process."
Big news out of Louisiana! A local judge has overturned the conviction of Chris Duncan, who has spent 26 years on death row claiming his innocence.
Tragic context: Roughly 80% of people on Louisiana's death row have been exonerated... and this conviction hinged on a discredited pair of doctors.

The Attorney General is so unserious.
If you’re a prosecutor who is serious about obtaining a conviction, you don’t go on Fox and talk about the (alleged) facts of the case like this.
Has Bondi read the Justice Manual? Has Bondi heard of pretrial publicity motions? How about bar ethics rules?
