ICE agents interfered with—and even threatened to “shoot and arrest”—emergency personnel rescuing an injured protester last week in Portland.

Louisiana: Plaintiffs said 'we want another majority-black district.'

Jackson: No. They said 'we aren't receiving equal electoral opportunity because our votes are being diluted.'

Louisiana: Same thing.

Jackson: No, it’s not.

I presume that orchestra people have vicious stereotypes about clarinetists that could be deployed here. I once heard three performers riff on violists for ten minutes and it was frightening.

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable

You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

I can’t help but think today about how many young people were savaged on social media, branded as anti-semites and abandoned by their schools for daring to call for a ceasefire. I remember saying that it was the first time I can remember that calling for ceasefire was regarded as a hostile demand.

They were misusing the word ceasefire-calling for Israel to surrender unconditionally. And for Israelis to “go back where they came from” (Poland & Brooklyn). They NEVER called for the hostages to be returned or for Hamas to surrender. And they were calling Israelis evil by nature (antisemitic).
