But the team at JANM isn't pulling back any of its diversity, equity and inclusion efforts. “Our community is based on diversity, equity is guaranteed to us in the Constitution, and inclusion is what we believe in,” Fujioka told the LA Times. Here's more from @ArtNews.

In a 5-4 ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court has thrown out the order of District Judge James Boasberg, who blocked removal of Venezuelans to El Salvador without legal process under the Alien Enemies Act. The government had previously indicated that deportations would immediately resume if Boasberg's order was lifted. Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson wrote in her dissent: "We are just as wrong now as we have been in the past, with similarly devastating consequences. It just seems we are now less willing to face it,” adding: "At least when the Court went off base in the past, it left a record so posterity could see how it went wrong,” citing the notorious ruling that allowed government confinement of Japanese Americans during World War II. Here's more from NBC.

Interview: "Yemen chat leak: What does it tell us about Trump’s administration?"

The inadvertent inclusion of the journalist indicates "a level of carelessness that is more insidious" than Trump cares to admit.

"Despite the gravity of the mistake, no one expects any accountability for the officials involved."

U.S. Sen. Cory Booker has set the record for the longest speech in Senate history, surpassing Sen. Strom Thurmond who spoke against the Civil Rights Act for 24 hours and 18 minutes in 1957. Booker is still speaking against the Trump administration's "grave and urgent" threat to the country. He has shared letters from constituents and read news articles, discussing a wide range of subjects and in his opening remarks, referencing his hero, the late Rep. John Lewis. "I start tonight thinking about him; I've been thinking about him a lot during these last 71 days. 'Get in good trouble, necessary trouble, help redeem the soul of America,'" Booker said, invoking Lewis' words. "And had to ask myself, if he's my hero, how am I living up to his words?"
