Judge finds Voting Rights Act violation in North Dakota redistricting for two tribes
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota’s 2021 legislative redistricting plan violates the rights of two Native American tribes because it dilutes their voting strength, a federal judge ruled Friday. U.S. District Chief Judge Peter Welte said the redrawn legislative districts violated the Voting Rights Act of 1965. North Dakota Republican Secretary of State Michael Howe, who is named in the lawsuit, did not immediately comment on the ruling. North Dakota has 47 legislative districts, each with one senator and two representatives. Lawmakers who were involved in the 2021 redistricting process have previously cited 2020 census numbers meeting population requirements of the Voting Rights Act for creating those subdistricts.

Diplomacy in a Time of Crisis: Germany’s Chancellor Visits Israel and Egypt
[ii] Scholz emphasized that the security of Israel and its citizens is a matter of German responsibility to atone for the Jewish Holocaust perpetrated by the Nazi regime in the 1940s. [iii] Germany’s unique historical responsibility towards Israel is underscored by the concept of “Staatsräson” (reason of state), a term used by former Chancellor Angela Merkel and reiterated by her successor, Olaf Scholz. The German government has expedited the processing of export applications for military equipment to Israel in the aftermath of the Hamas attack. German authorities, including Chancellor Olaf Scholz, have described and characterized pro-Palestinian protests and marches in Germany as potentially using anti-Semitic slogans and glorifying violence. The government has taken a hard-line stance against such protests, with the German state outright banning most pro-Palestinian demonstrations.

Italy 5-2 North Macedonia (17 Nov, 2023) Game Analysis
Federico Chiesa's goals helped Italy to victory over North Macedonia. Italy broke the deadlock after 17 minutes when an unmarked Matteo Darmian headed in a corner at the back post. After 40 minutes, Italy had a chance to extend their advantage from the penalty spot after Nikola Serafimov's handball but Jorginho's attempt was saved by Dimitrievski. North Macedonia got back into the match after 52 minutes when Jani Atanasov nodded in a close-range cross before scoring his second with a deflected long-range shot in the 74th. "The second goal was a big deflection, it was casual, so that changes the psychological aspects of the match," Spalletti said.

The Big Review: Africa & Byzantium at Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York ★★★★☆
An adjacent small-scale bronze bust of an African child, also from early Byzantine Egypt, cements the reach of African Byzantium, which included some Black Africans. Accented by text, geometric patterns, floral motifs and pottery, the painted and sculpted faces of Africa & Byzantium offer sympathetic connections. In much of Western scholarship, Medieval Ethiopian works were considered exceptional in their Africanity for their association with Mediterranean conventions. The exhibition might more aptly be called “Byzantium & Africa” for its omission of these concerns. Especially given the lack of the Met’s African art collection during the Rockefeller Wing’s renovation, Africa & Byzantium does a lot of work for the museum.
