    Twenty years after 9/11, and I wrote about some literary responses to it — featuring DeLillo, Cormac McCarthy, Zadie Smith, Ayad Akhtar, Edward Said, Deborah Eisenberg, Sontag and more.

    Also, as everyone knows, the need in Louisiana right now is great. So here’s a 🧵 of organizations and groups from that are trying to help with the post-Ida recovery.

    Want to help Louisiana's recovery? Here are on-the-ground groups (and a band) working in Lafourche, the River Parishes, Jefferson Parish and other parts of southeast Louisiana.

    In basements. In cars. Holding the hand of a loved one until it slipped away. Trying to keep heads above water, dozens of people died last night. A team effort to try to tell the stories of some:

    Stunning work here. Mortgage lenders have said past studies showing racial bias in home loans simply failed to account for ratios like debt-to-income of borrower & loan-to-value on application, plus applicants credit score. This demolishes those criticisms

    This is the 'holy grail' the religious right has long sought with decades of effort to dominate the US Supreme Court. Mission accomplished (in part) for the religious right and dark-money groups that fueled the drive.

    Supreme Court denies abortion providers' application by 5-4 vote. Per curiam majority (Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, Barrett): "complex and novel antecedent questions on which [abortion providers] have not carried their burden." 1/

    Justice Sotomayor: “ … A majority of Justices have opted to bury their heads in the sand … Taken together, the Act is a breathtaking act of defiance—of the Constitution, of this Court’s precedents, and of the rights of women seeking abortions throughout Texas.”

    deputizing citizens to suppress the rights of other citizens while courts say “our hands are tied if private citizens are suppressing rights” is some real 1876 shit

    Drove to Philly today to visit family & ran smack into — the storm is no joke. Barely made it thru the flood that came up terrifyingly quickly on the Schuylkill Expressway. Bailed to surface streets and ended up here, on Belmont Ave, shortly after 6pm. Stay safe everyone!

    If you're interested in the fight to make Wall Street more diverse, watch historically Black colleges. We got data showing their progress is slow -- some numbers up, some down. And we spoke to the students who want to reshape finance. Take a look!

    Today I watched a Ruby-throated Hummingbird chase a Belted Kingfisher & thought it can’t be long before hummingbirds figure out how to organize & take over the world, which they will rule with tiny iron fists…

    Did you know that hummingbirds are only found in the Western Hemisphere? Any guesses on how many total species of hummingbirds there are? The answer may surprise you! Check your answer in this : Photo: Violet Sabrewing by Greg Homel

    This is what gives as the reason for refusing to create a Slack channel to let its employees discuss pay equity. The next tweet in this thread lists some of the company’s existing Slack channels for employees, including a “fun dogs” group & a “dad jokes” group. Amazing

    "Although this request is aligned with Apple’s commitment to pay equity, it doesn’t meet the requirement for Slack Terms of Use. Slack channels are provided to conduct Apple business & must advance the work, deliverables, or mission or Apple departments & teams." 2/
