this is an incredible feature which also has me thinking about how interesting it is that the Tulsa massacre has gone from fairly obscure to basically mainstream knowledge in a few short years

Wow, this is really well made, it's impressive that the NYTimes can make something so complex.

The way you get bipartisanship on a bipartisan commission is, often, a sort of gentlemen's agreement not to make either party look too bad. Mutually assured destruction.
That's ill-suited for 1/6, because only one party looks bad on that issue

Any bipartisan January 6 commission is probably doomed

Hopefully demcrats figure this out and move forward without it being bipartisan, they have essentially the same powers either way.

1 of 15: It has been hard to convey, through anecdotes or data, how bizarre the U.S. housing market has become. For example, a Bethesda, Maryland homebuyer working with @Redfin included in her written offer a pledge to name her first-born child after the seller. She lost.

Others said it too, but I don't want to name someone's child, would you? The whole thread is interesting, inventory is up everywhere except SF and NY, where it's down, but prices are up

There need to be real penalties not just for the most egregious forms of misconduct but for the more routine practice of misinforming the public.

Bodycam video — which authorities withheld for 2 years — shows Louisiana state troopers stunning, punching and dragging Ronald Greene facedown on the ground before his death.
Troopers initially told his family he died on impact after crashing into a tree.

This is uh, not what I would have expected, and there's another study that indicated the exact opposite last year.

There is a huge collective action problem here and I would really like to see congress start considering measures to prevent US employers from cracking down on Americans’ speech to chase the China market.

Not a great trend.

Big Fashion must be stopped. It is censoring my dad jeans and bankrupting our youth financially with their exclusionary pricing and morally with their necklines. Stop the madness.
