This spring, HHS finalized new regulations under HIPAA to limit law enforcement access to medical records tied to reproductive health. read more
Vice President Kamala Harris has ignited a fervent movement to empower and mobilize the next generation of voters nationwide.
Donald Trump is scrambling to pivot his campaign against Kamala Harris, with attack ads hitting her current record in office and her past in California, according to two sources familiar with the matter, after Joe Biden withdrew from the 2024 race on Sunday. read more
Josh Marshall: As I've noted, Pennsylvania State Police initially told reporters on the scene that Trump had been struck by shards of glass. Then Trump himself said he'd been hit with a bullet and that was the end of the matter. There's small detail from a local news report from last Sunday that suggests it as at least plausible that the initial report was correct, that Trump was struck by some flying debris. read more
Bernie Sanders: What the media should be doing, in my view, is focusing on the contrast between Joe Biden, what his record is and what his vision is for the future, not just what happened in a debate. And if you want to talk about cognitive capabilities and you want to talk about things that people say, take a hard look at Donald Trump as well. read more
So, less diversity?
One thing I will say, is that I think the modern definition of "diversity" is way out of whack.
Personally, I think diversity of thought is WAY more important than diversity of immutable attributes like skin color, sex, sexual orientation, etc.
But anyway, I appreciate you answering my question. I understand what you are saying.

Or maybe to put it another way, less representation.
It isn't just about skin color and sexual orientation. It could be about religion or other aspects of demographics--where people live, what they do for a living, the standard of living people have, educational backgrounds. All those things can influence how people see things, how they think about things. The diversity of thought you are talking about. So I wouldn't define diverstiy as being strictly about difference in skin color or sexual orientation, but as being about differences in lived experiences. But, and I think this is often de-emphasized, all being human we can see a unity of experience as well beneath the differences.
