The indictment of former F.B.I. director, James B. Comey
was just two pages long and contained so little detail that it was hard for legal experts to assess its merits.
Some former government lawyers, as well as prominent Democrats, said the case appeared so flimsy that it was likely to fail.
Some Republicans also expressed concerns

Brief Comey Indictment Prompts Questions and Criticism
The two-page indictment of James B. Comey, the former F.B.I. director, offered little indication of the evidence that would be presented at a trial. Some legal experts called it flimsy and dangerous.

Integral points and volume of integral-integral affine manifolds

Integral points and volume of integral-integral affine manifolds
We give an elementary proof that, for a closed manifold with an integral-integral affine structure, its total volume and number of integral points coincide. This theorem was previously shown to be equivalent to the "independence of polarization" phenomenon of geometric quantization. The proof uses rational Ehrhart theory and elementary Fourier analysis to estimate the difference between the total volume and the number of integral points.

Day 29: Leanne Betasamosake Simpson
I've been sitting on Simpson for a while because there's some overlap in her writing with Robin Wall Kimmerer, and I've had a lot of different genres/styles/subjects/media I've wanted to post at least one author from. But I've now hit repeats on at least YA romance and manga, and Simpson's writing is actually quite different from Kimmerer's in a lot of ways. While Kimmerer is a biologist by training and literally braids that knowledge together with her knowledge of Potawatomi cosmology and ethics, Simpson is an Anishinaabe philosopher and anarchist, and her position as a scholar of Indigenous philosophy adds a different depth to her work: she talks in more depth about knowledge relationships and her connections with specific elders, and she has more citations to other Indigenous theorists, which is the one criticism I've ever seen of Kimmerer's work. Rather than being Indigenous and a scientist, she's Indigenous and a scholar of indigenous studies.
I've only read "Theory of Water" by Simpson, but it was excellent, and especially inspiring to read as an anarchist. Simpson's explicit politics are another difference from Kimmerer's work, which is more implicitly than explicitly political. This allows Simpson to draw extremely interesting connections to other anarchist theorists and movements. "Theory of Water" is probably a bit less accessible than "Braiding Sweetgrass," but it's richer from a theory perspective as a result.
In any case, Simpson is a magnificent writer, sharing personal insights and stories along with (and inseparable from) her theoretical ideas.

James Comey, the former FBI director and one of Donald Trump’s most frequent targets,
was indicted on Thursday on one count of making a false statement to Congress
and one count of obstruction of justice
The indictment came shortly after Trump instructed AG Pam Bondi to
“move now” to prosecute Comey
and other officials he considers political foes,
in an extraordinarily direct social media post
trampling on the justice department’s tradition of indepe…

The Comey indictment came less than a week after Lindsey Halligan was installed as the top federal prosecutor in the eastern district of Virginia,
after Trump fired her predecessor, Erik Siebert,
after he declined to bring charges against Comey over concerns there was insufficient evidence.
Halligan, most recently a White House aide and former Trump lawyer
who has no prosecutorial experience,
was also presented with a memo earlier this week laying out why
