Simply amazing that the Supreme Court declared an end to legal race discrimination in the affirmative action case two years ago and now allows overt racism in both immigration arrests and redistricting.
Using race to help minorities? Bad. Using it to discriminate against them? Very, very good.

This headline frame is so unbelievably dumb.
The NYT uses this "reactions split" formulation all the time. In an era of hyperpolarization -- and a bad faith ruling party -- EVERYTHING is going to produce "split reactions."
This headline does nothing but minimize the underlying story.

it is MIRACULOUS that we got rid of lead paint and asbestos when we did. if we had tried that today, there would be people whining about how we're restricting their rights.

Lol, Zillow tried to rate the climate risks facing individual properties. The real estate industry *hated* it, precisely because it worked -- it made selling risky properties more difficult. So they rebelled & Zillow caved.

I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution.

Absolutely brutal report just out from National Association of Realtors on the utterly broken US housing market.
First-time homebuyers fell to a historic low of just 21% of all homebuyers, and their median age was an all-time high of 40 years old.

This is why 23/24 rich countries have de jure or de facto national health insurance, and typically spend ~2% or less on administration instead of the ~9% the US spends (total waste) while covering everyone and having higher life expectancy and quality adjusted life years. 3/3
