Because they are make believe, mock drafts tend to go wild. Lots of projected trades. Runs on specific positions. A surprise pick or two. For this year's selection process there is an obvious trend — one that should stun nobody. It's all about the quarterbacks, with potentially the first four spots being occupied by passers. That will begin with Trevor Lawrence of Clemson going to Jacksonville, which earned the top overall choice by going 1-15 last season.

The racial injustice protests in Minneapolis have revealed a generational divide in the city's burgeoning Black immigrant communities. Young people from Somali, Ethiopian and Liberian families have thrust themselves into the demonstrations, but older generations are more likely to stay focused on their livelihoods instead of speaking out. Jaylani Hussein is director of the Minnesota chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations. He says many older immigrants grew up in countries that prohibited speaking out against the government. Younger Black immigrants who were born in America or came at a young age often know firsthand both their parents’ struggles and the nation's history of racial injustice.

The Supreme Court has refused to consider Texas’ challenge to California’s ban on state-funded business trips to Texas and other states deemed to discriminate against LGBTQ people. California adopted the ban following a 2017 Texas law that allows foster care and adoption agencies to deny services for religious beliefs. Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas said Monday they would have allowed the lawsuit to go forward at the high court. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sought to file the suit at the Supreme Court, which hears disputes between states. Paxton calls the California law an effort “to punish Texans for respecting the right of conscience for foster care and adoption providers.”

On Monday, the country reported more than 2,800 deaths, with roughly 117 Indians succumbing to the disease every hour — and experts say even those figures are likely an undercount. The new infections brought India’s total to more than 17.3 million, behind only the United States. Doctors like Dr. Gautam Singh are on the front lines, trying to keep their patients alive. Like many others, he's taken to social media to try to get the supplies he needs, like critical oxygen, to help his patients.
