I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.
He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

This has not gotten much attention, but it should.
Virginia under Youngkin returned to an insanely harsh system where people convicted of any felony lose their voting rights FOR LIFE.
Dems' win this week mean they'll get to advance a constitutional amendment to end lifetime disenfranchisement.

I would love it if Fox would interview me:
"I have been trying to reach out to Trump to figure out if he's actually playing 40-dimensional chess or is just a senile, historically illiterate, lazy, incompetent racist who has the worst taste in .... everyone, but crickets!"

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Surely that "but" should be "and", right? if it's just a simple statement of how she was received by 2 different groups?
But the logic changes if the imagined audience changes. If the imagined audience is conservative, then "but" makes sense, because now there is an implied contrast.

The NYT has many problems (editorial/bias) but they have always held a high standard around grammar, punctuation, etc., to the point of actually being punctilious & overly finicky. So look at this use of conjunction "but": "She became a Democratic icon, but was demonized by conservatives."

Every state should do this, as a matter of sound governance.
But every blue state that Trump and Miller want to hurt out of racist racism should as a matter of good protection.
Keep the ICE and CBP thugs in court, drain their bank accounts, force them into depositions, get them under oath, etc.
