"The blueprint is:
"Create chaos.
"Blame the chaos.
"Then offer yourself as the cure.
"This plan is already underway.
"The question now is if the rest of us will keep pretending this is law and order."
There is no place in Congress, or this country, for bigotry.
#SikhAmericans are part of the fabric of this nation. @RepMaryMiller's hateful rhetoric is not only ignorant, it’s dangerous.
Alex Rodriguez asked a question. Reggie Jackson answered it.
(Shouts to the producer and rest of the desk for staying out of Reggie’s way and just letting him talk. I doubt they expected this answer. But it’s a great few minutes of television.)
@unusual_whales The cost of a mortgage payment has risen 57% over the past two years, whereas household income has only grown 9%. This level of affordability is typically not sustainable:
IF U.S. incomes spiked 69%, we'd return to pre-pandemic housing affordability levels
IF U.S. home prices fell 41%, we'd return to pre-pandemic affordability.
IF U.S. mortgage rates fell 4 percentage points, we'd return to pre-pandemic affordability

@jpdeol @KaranveerPannu I sat for the February bar exam and it’s safe to say not much has changed. But word on the street is that the NCBE is going to do away with the multiple choice potion which in my humble opinion is the first step in changing the exam towards something that is actually practical.
@KaranveerPannu @jpdeol This past February’s Bar exam in California was the first time they removed the need for religious accommodations. The BAR is definitely an archaic institution. Wait till you hear about how often they approve accommodations related to health issues etc. many horror stories out
The FBI released its 2021 Hate Crimes Statistics & Anti-Sikh incidents accounted for 21.3% of the 1,005 reported religious hate crimes, second only to Anti-Jewish. Anti-Hindu incidents accounted for 1%.
By population ratio, Sikhs are by far the most impacted community in USA.
