Somebody has a chart somewhere comparing this across cities. Eric Taylor, Andrew BH, or Mark Chin would know, I think.

i have said this before but when “getting rid of race in admissions” for the administration means “you can’t even try to reach out to underrepresented communities and encourage them to apply and if you do it is illegal discrimination against white people” then the actual goal here is segregation

Harvard Ends Undergraduate Minority Recruitment Program as Trump Targets Race in Admissions | News | The Harvard Crimson

By ending the minority recruitment program in May, Harvard shuttered a more than 50-year-old initiative to encourage minority high school students to apply.

An antisemite shot two kids in Colorado, at least one of whom is Jewish.

The White House “fighting antisemitism” doesn’t care, because the shooter was a student radicalized online into far right beliefs, which the regime is cool with, rather than a student verbally criticizing Israeli govt policy.

‘Radicalized’ Evergreen High School shooter appeared to hold antisemitic, violent views in online accounts

Social media accounts that appear to be connected to the 16-year-old shooter are littered with references to mass shootings and antisemitic views, The Denver Post found.

I used to teach a class on this and the source dataset had a hyphen that was an en dash not a hyphen and the students complained so much, but I was like, "babes, this is the minor leagues"

I have never seen so many public servants protest the mismanagement of a government. Trumpists will point to this as proof of the deep state, but the reality is that these are professionals who are desperately trying to get the public to understand how bad things are.

LA Times does a deep dive into the Trump administration's mortgage fraud claims against leading Democrats and finds, guess what, these claims are all fraudulent. This is an authoritarian style attempt to weaponize the criminal justice system against political opponents.

Commentary: Why are all these leading Democrats suddenly facing mortgage fraud charges? Guess who's behind it

Bill Pulte at the Federal Housing Finance Agency is hitting Democrats with criminal mortgage fraud charges. Here's why they look ginned-up.

My 8-year-old saw me without glasses and said, "wow, Mom, you look tired."

Yes.

Also, this is why I wear glasses.

I have not, but I did ask it to come up with comparators. It came up with, among others, Raj Chetty (for economics of education, I won't be any more specific than that). 🧐

Anyway, that wasn't helpful but somewhere in the list of names it helped me connect a synapse that got me to some good ones.
