More young Blacks are willing to give DSA a try. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The DSA has a believability problem with older Black voters. But young people want to take more risks
Black voters reveal a generational divide, with younger voters drawn to the Democratic Socialists of America, and older voters focused on what can realistically be achieved

Judge April Perry is in with her summary of yesterday's "Broadview Six" proceedings. No further detail yet on her questions for the feds:
10/01/2026	270 	MINUTE entry before the Honorable April M. Perry: Hearing held 10/1/2026 on the pending motions. For the reasons stated on the record in open court, Petition to Intervene filed by Sheri Mecklenburg 261 is granted and Ms. Mecklenburg may intervene to challenge the possible appointment a special prosecutor and any potential consideration of sanctions. Motions for an evidentiary hearing and discovery 226 and to appoint a special prosecutor 227 are denied in part, insofar as former defendants will not be provided with discovery or an adversarial hearing on the issue of sanctions or the appointment of a special prosecutor. The Court will, however, consider whether sanctions or a special prosecutor are warranted after having requested and reviewed additional evidence from the Government. The Government's request to brief the constitutionality of Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 42 is granted. The Government's brief regarding the constitutionality of Rule 42 is to be filed by 11/2/2026. Given that this is no longer an adversarial proceeding, the Court appoints Professor William Baude to serve as amicus curiae and brief the opposing position to the Government's. The Clerk is directed to add Professor William Buade as Amicus party. Professor Baude's brief is to be filed by 12/2/2026. Motions for attorneys' fees and expenses 201 210 are granted. The parties are to meet and confer and determine if a settlement of this matter can be reached, if they would like the court's assistance in mediating the issue, or if they prefer a briefing schedule. A joint status report on the attorneys' fees motions is to be filed by 11/2/2026. Motion to conduct discovery in connection with the requests for attorneys' fees 206 is denied. Mailed notice. (jcc,) (Entered: 10/02/2026)

Nah, this doesn’t“stun” me, and it shouldn’t stun you either. This is more evidence that Cornell’s main mission was always to protect Cornell, not the student. As w/many universities. One in 3 women at Cornell say they’ve been sexually assaulted. This institution needs to do better. Much better.

Native American Tribes Came Together to Secure Their Rights to Colorado River Water. Four States Are Stalling the Deal.
Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming are resisting the deal because it would allow the Navajo and Hopi to lease water to cities downstream, likely the growing towns around Phoenix.
