In a friend of the court brief for a lawsuit over Louisiana's map of congressional districts, the Justice Department argues the Voting Rights Act's long standing legal protections against racial discrimination and redistricting are no longer constitutional. The DOJ's filing comes months after it started stepping away from multiple voting rights lawsuits that were first brought during former President Joe Biden's administration. A series of rulings by the Supreme Court's conservative majority have already weakened the Voting Rights act of 1965. Now, many of the law's advocates fear that the rare second round of oral arguments the court has ordered for this Louisiana case on October 15th could could be setting up a decision that ends key remaining protections for minority voters.

The deadline for three of the 911 defendants to appeal the rejection of their plea deals, and all three of them did appeal in, including the alleged ringleader, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. They want the full D.C. circuit Court of Appeals to hear their case. If it takes the case but doesn't rule in their favor, they can still appeal to the Supreme Court. The plea deals, if allowed, would let them plead guilty and spend life in prison rather than face the death penalty. Prosecutors have said plea deals would be the best resolution since the case has still not gone to trial nearly a quarter century after the attacks. And Sasha Feifer, NPR news, ABC says.

Avani Yalto grew up in Houston. Her mom grew up in San Antonio, but her grandma grew up in Kerala, a state along the southern tip of India. She was fascinated by her grandma's stories of mango trees and running barefoot around her village with friends. It ate away at her that no matter how hard she tried, she could never experience it because all that's left of her grandma's village are abandoned houses, and all that's left of the mango tree is a gray stump. In her winning podcast, the Things We Buried, she narrates a journey to a place that no longer exists, weaving together family stories of the village and sounds of birds and children who have long left the area. The listener is transported to the Kerala of the past. Sequoia Carrillo, NPR News.
