And then she popped up smiling at the locals who came to help her.
Tell me again that women don’t belong in combat.

Our new NBC poll on cultural/social attitudes gets at some of the nuances in how people think about these topics and how difficult it is to nail down exactly where public opinion is on some hot button issues. For example: Affirmative action...
Why would you value the NAR and Brookings telling you where people want to buy, when you can actually see where they buy?
Isn’t where they buy ultimately dispositive?

The degree to which that tiny faction is out of touch with how unrepresentative their views are and their inability to communicate with outsiders is a problem for the press, academia and deliberative democracy.
This article gets it entirely backward as a matter of public opinion. Free speech is a very popular idea with near-universal buy-in across the US political spectrum. The new trend to view it as cringey is confined to a tiny number of journos & academics. time.com/6171183/elon-musk-f…

Last night @60Minutes did segment on a college I attended that has only 26students doing manual labor on a cattle ranch while studying great books. Deep Springs College. This improbable place is where my journey to Congress began. My story and photos I’ve never shared belowTHREAD
At Deep Springs College, students from around the world labor in the classroom and on the grounds. Student farmers grow the produce that student cooks prepare. There are student mail carriers, student mechanics and student ranchers. cbsn.ws/3FzPpVl
