a real question for the roberts majority is what in their view distinguishes jim crow disenfranchisement from majority-minority districts? a related question is what in their view made the typical jim crow law — which was facially neutral — unconstitutional?

Politico received an initial tip that a Taylor staffer had a swastika neatly pinned to his cubicle during a zoom call. When confronted, the congressman’s press office pretty implausibly sought to present the situation as a police matter, and Politico went along with that in its headline and lede.

Capitol Police called to investigate swastika in GOP congressional office

An American flag altered to include an image of a swastika was found in Rep. Dave Taylor’s office.

Greta Thunberg: “Israeli soldiers hit, kicked, starved, and tortured me”

• They placed a flag next to me, and anytime the flag touched me, they kicked me
• Whenever I raised my head to look at Ben-Gvir, I was kicked

I know this stuff isn't surprising anymore but I really can't stress enough how much everybody involved with CISA and cyber tried to keep the field nonpolitical and nonpartisan before this administration.

The story of 2025 in cinema is that the backlash to Zaslav feeding popular shows & completed movies into an acid vat for tax purposes was so strong that WB granted massive budgets and artistic freedom to lure back top filmmakers across all genres. Culture benefitted immensely.

Windows 10 goes out of support today. My fave useless fact about w10 is that the iconic blue desktop background is a *photograph* - not CGI.

Three images showing photographers in a studio, standing around a black curtained area with a projector and a 'Windows' logo etched onto a glass pane.

Austin police said not knowing about raids beforehand — or after — can be dangerous.

If a citizen reports a kidnapping or assault that local police don't know is part of an ICE raid, they may inadvertently clash with federal officers, the chief said.

Austin police don’t know when ICE is coming. The chief says that could be dangerous.

ME: "Girls, I'm going to a college campus today. Would you like me to see if they have a stuffed animal of the mascot for your collection?

KIDS: "lets see the mascot"

The UK and Canada will join the EU in a plan to use part of the nearly $300 billion in frozen Russian central bank assets held by G7 nations to boost financial support for Ukraine. The mechanism would allow issuing loans without formally seizing the assets, securing long-term financing for Ukraine.
