On Friday, Judge Boasberg ordered the administration to submit declarations by December 5
from all officials involved in the decision not to return the flights to the U.S.
He said he will then decide whether to seek testimony from witnesses.

Trying to read a post claiming GitHub’s decision to purge toasts is *bad* for accessibility, even though it's on perennially inaccessible Medium.

Oh, it’s actually behind a paywall.
Oh well. It’s not meant for me. Or anyone.
