Angel Reese is the best player on a team going to the WNBA Finals. Also DPOY. Haven't written many pieces that have aged better than this one.

not that you should expect anything more than rank idiocy from this pair of racists, but the idea that whiteness means a "high trust" society of "social cohesion" is some of the stupidest shit i have ever heard. these people live in a fantasy land that you could dispel by simply opening a book.

These numbers reflect the disparities that have always been there in college sports. But those disparities didn't lead to calls for equal spending caps ..... until some of the money started going to athletes, rather than just coaches, admins, and construction companies. You see how that looks, right

This is APPALLING. The Trump administration is detaining multiple random Somali immigrants with no criminal record at Guantanamo Bay, seemingly because the White House ordered ICE specifically to detain Somalis at Gitmo as part of its effort to punish an ethnic group Trump has attacked.
According to Mohamed, guards at Guantanamo have said they are being held there because that's what officials in Washington, DC, want. "There's no other nation, only Somali people in Guantanamo Bay, in the prison," he told me. "And when we ask them why we are here, they tell us... Washington...ordered to keep Somali people in the Guantanamo Bay."

I wonder how many third-party platforms and software systems my university is paying for, and at what (enormous) cost, many of which previously worked fine on internal systems. I bet it's easily north of 100. New this year: a third party platform to manage 'course reserves' for the libraries.

He should have just run as a Conservative, rather than doing a coup of the Liberal Party and remaking it as something far more right wing. This should inspire a huge shift for self-described progressives in this country. Sadly, many are instead clinging to the name "Liberal" and ignoring reality.

ICE has fallen out of the headlines but July marked the largest number of migrant detentions ever on record. Five migrants have died in ICE custody in the last two months. It's also currently impossible to legally migrate to this country, as 100% of visa applications have been paused.

That's not how executive orders work and that's not how naming things work and this isn't how political reporting should work either. This event should be covered, yes, but as another sign of the president's steady descent into complete ineffectiveness and utter insanity.
