In Chicago, black and Hispanic cops are substantially less thuggish than white cops, on the average.

The article linked to just above displays symbolic bigotry by capitalizing "black" but not "white". (To avoid that bigotry, capitalize both words or neither one.) I object to bigotry, and normally I decline to link to articles which promote it. But I make an exception for articles which give important information about racism or the fight to eliminate racism. That article is one of the exceptions.

*California bill would decriminalize psychedelics, paving the way for medical treatment.*

Facebook responded by the requirement to pay for carrying news articles by blocking all news sites and lots of other sites as well.

With luck, people will adapt by finding other ways to see news articles and stop letting Facebook use them.

*Reversing Myanmar's Coup Isn't Enough. Here’s How to Build a Better Burma.*

(satire) *Historians Reveal Terra-Cotta Army Result Of Perfectionist Sculptor Screwing Up Soldier Statue Thousands Of Times.*
