I can tell you the quickest way to get to anywhere, and the answer changes depending on where you are and where you're going.

Don't think of the airport as a building, think of it as a town or neighborhood. It's not *one* thing, but a dozen, all on top of each other.

““They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.”+

Working on making Leaflet great not just for blogs, but *social publishing* more broadly, from a single doc / post / page, to a whole blog / site / wiki…

What will you publish if friends can comment, quote, react, share? When we can @-mention each other and reference posts with backlinks and more?

This is an absolutely extraordinary, revelatory quote. Why is the NBC affiliate in Portland the only place reporting it? www.kgw.com/article/news...

Trump seems to back off Portland military plan: 'Am I watching things on television that are different from what's happening?'

President Trump had said he will send troops to Portland to protect U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities, which he said were "under attack."

Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

✨ I just published a brand-new blog post about a modern CSS feature!

But, honestly, I’m still on the fence about it. 😅

In this post, I’ll dig into the gnarly issue I ran into, and share three possible workarounds. Along the way, you’ll learn a bunch about the CSS cascade and specificity!

The Big Gotcha With @starting-style • Josh W. Comeau

CSS has been on fire lately, with tons of great new features. @starting-style is an interesting one; it allows us to use CSS transitions for enter animations, something previously reserved for CSS key...

I'm considered a Taurus ♉. But based on the real position of the stars, I might be a Aries ♈ instead. Find your astronomical sign here: www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Over millennia, our view of the stars has shifted, because of Earth’s wobble. It may be time to rethink your sign.

Justice Sotomayor, not mincing words, also says that today's decision will lead to the "creation of [] a second-class citizenship status" for Latinos, who now will have the burden to "carry enough documentation to prove that they deserve to walk freely."

The concurrence relegates the interests of U. S. citizens
and individuals with legal status to a single sentence, positing that the Government will free these individuals as
soon as they show they are legally in the United States.
Ante, at 8 (opinion of KAVANAUGH, J.). That blinks reality.
Two plaintiffs in this very case tried to explain that they
are U. S. citizens; one was then pushed against a fence with
his arms twisted behind his back, and the other was taken away from his job to a warehouse for further questioning. More fundamentally, it is the Government’s burden to prove that it has reasonable suspicion to stop someone. The concurrence improperly shifts the burden onto an entire class of citizens to carry enough documentation to prove that they deserve to walk freely. The Constitution does not permit the creation of such a second-class citizenship status.

If you’ve been to the National Holocaust Museum, you know marginalized groups don't lose their rights all at once in a dictatorship. One day they’re banned from various jobs, another day they’re banned from certain hospitals, another day they’re banned from owning guns. We all know where it ends.

Trump DOJ is looking at ways to ban transgender Americans from owning guns, sources say | CNN Politics

Senior Justice Department officials are weighing proposals to limit transgender people’s right to possess firearms, according to two officials familiar with the internal discussions.
