The guest list for Fidel Castro's memorial service reflects the divisiveness of his legacy. Many Western leaders like Obama, May and Trudeau will not attend, while leftist leaders like Tsipras, Morales and Maduro will. Putin is also notably absent. Law enforcement in California is on high alert for hate crimes after the election, with reports of incidents targeting minorities. Authorities are monitoring social media and encouraging reporting of incidents to address fears and deter criminal acts. Hate crimes have been rising in the US and California in recent years.
Nine police officers raided Sallie Taylor's apartment with guns drawn looking for drugs based on their "training and experience" investigating drug crimes in the area. They did not find any drugs and left after searching her home for 30 minutes. The search warrant cited no evidence of criminal activity at Taylor's home. D.C. police sometimes pursue drugs and guns with scant evidence, raiding wrong homes and terrifying innocent residents like Taylor.
The document analyzes the rhetorical strategies used in police communications during the Ferguson protests following the shooting of Michael Brown. It examines press releases, press conferences, and tweets from the St. Louis County Police Department. The police aimed to justify their actions, portray protesters negatively, and control the narrative. Their Twitter presence adopted an objective tone to establish credibility and authority, while press conferences condemned public interference. The analysis seeks to understand how police departments leverage rhetoric and social media to assert power and influence perceptions during times of crisis.
1) Wess Young, now 94, fled with his family during the 1921 Tulsa race riot when he was 4 years old. The riot destroyed Tulsa's thriving black community of Greenwood, known as the "Negro Wall Street", leaving up to 300 dead and over 8,000 homeless according to an official state report.
2) Efforts over the past decade have brought greater awareness to the Tulsa race riot through educational initiatives and memorials. However, survivors' attempts to secure compensation through the legislature and courts have been unsuccessful.
3) As the number of surviving witnesses of the riot dwindles, advocates continue pushing for recognition, but acknowledge momentum may be lost once no living survivors remain to testify
The document summarizes three news articles:
1) A massive data breach at the US Office of Personnel Management compromised personal information for over 21 million people who underwent government background checks. Hackers stole Social Security numbers, addresses, health records, and some fingerprints from current and former government employees. The breach is believed to have originated from China.
2) Plunging stock markets in China have damaged the Communist Party's reputation for control and economic management. The government's confused response has undermined confidence in President Xi Jinping's authority and judgment.
3) Pope Francis apologized for the Catholic Church's complicity in oppression during colonial times in Latin America. He called for social activism against inequality and environmental
The document is a newspaper called The Times Leader from July 16, 2016. It contains several articles including one about a police shooting of a black man, GOP conventions taking security precautions after the Nice attack, a veterans group being disturbed by the Netflix show Orange is the New Black, Brad Paisley performing at Jamboree in the Hills to help with West Virginia flooding relief, and Governor Kasich agreeing to speak at the NAACP convention while not attending the Republican National Convention. Kid Rock's performance at Jamboree in the Hills is also summarized.
This document discusses the town of Dannemora, New York and its economic dependence on the nearby Clinton Correctional Facility prison. Nearly 3,000 of Dannemora's 4,129 residents live within the prison walls. The town and many upstate New York communities rely heavily on the jobs and funding generated by the prison system. However, this model separates prisoners from their families and communities in downstate areas like New York City, making rehabilitation and reentry into society more difficult. Some state politicians advocate for policies that maintain a high prisoner population and continue funneling prisoners to upstate regions, securing an important economic lifeline for those areas.

Marie Javdani wrote an essay titled "Plata o Plomo: Silver or Lead" about the connection between drug use in the United States and violence in drug producing countries like Colombia. She tells the story of two boys, Eric from the US and Miguel from Colombia, to represent the cause and effect of the drug war. US drug demand funds drug lords who threaten Colombian villagers, forcing them into drug production and putting Miguel at risk of death. Javdani argues the US should focus on reducing domestic drug use through treatment and education rather than foreign aid, in order to undermine the drug trade and help people like Miguel.
In a combative privilege speech, Senator Bong Revilla revealed how President Aquino, Interior Secretary Mar Roxas, and Budget Secretary Florencio Abad intervened to oust former Chief Justice Renato Corona. Revilla quoted the President appealing to him to impeach Corona. Twenty senators including Revilla convicted Corona in 2012. Revilla fears they will again interfere in the pork barrel scam prosecution and uses the issue to destroy opponents in the 2016 election. Revilla maintained his innocence and accused whistleblowers of faking his signatures, saying he earned wealth through show business.
1) President Barack Obama visited Cedar Falls, Iowa to speak about expanding high-speed internet access, drawing both supporters and protesters of his administration.
2) The protesters, organized by a group called the Cedar Valley Patriots for Christ, significantly outnumbered the Obama supporters initially and held signs expressing opposition to policies like Obamacare.
3) While the two sides expressed differing views on a range of issues including Keystone XL, immigration, foreign wars, and tax policy, one protester noted that everyone has a right to voice their opinions as long as it's done appropriately and nonviolently.
After the September 11th terrorist attacks, there were reports of hate crimes targeting Muslims, Arabs, and South Asians in the United States. These included death threats to a Palestinian American student, rocks and eggs being thrown at an Islamic center, and bottles being thrown at a Sikh taxi driver. In response, President Bush visited an Islamic center to condemn the acts of violence and reaffirm that Islam teaches peace. However, some Americans still supported increased surveillance of Arab and Muslim Americans in the period after 9/11.
This document summarizes and analyzes acts of disrespect directed towards President Obama since he took office in 2009. It discusses how some politicians and media figures have openly hoped for Obama's failure and called him racist. Tea Party protests against Obama's policies have featured racially charged signs and rhetoric. The document argues this treatment resembles the resistance faced by Lincoln and aims to undermine Obama's legitimacy, with the ultimate goal of making him a one-term president. It draws parallels to the post-Civil War Reconstruction era and asserts some oppose Obama due to underlying fears of losing white privilege and power to the first black president.
The document discusses an upcoming event called the F-Word Live Poetry Slam hosted by the University of Idaho Women's Center. The goal of the annual event is to reduce stigma around feminism and provide an outlet for survivors of sexual assault. It will include poetry addressing feminism, gender, and racial equality issues. The 10th anniversary event marks the tradition started by a former student group. It is open to both students and faculty and aims to combat stereotypes through education.

It aims to shed light on the man behind the famous beard.
The document discusses the growing threat of domestic terrorism in the United States carried out by lone wolf attackers. It argues that easy access to guns, radicalization on the internet, and anti-government sentiments have contributed to homegrown terrorism. Examples given include the Boston Marathon bombing, Fort Hood shooting, and LAX shooting. The author calls for stricter gun control laws and limitations on who can purchase or possess firearms to help address the threat of lone wolf terrorist attacks in America.
The document discusses a terrorist attack in New York City where two police officers were shot and killed. It summarizes that the shooter, Ismail Abdullah Brinsley, approached the officers' patrol car and shot them multiple times in the head and chest with a handgun. Brinsley then fled the scene but later committed suicide. The shooting appeared to be in response to other police-related deaths of Eric Garner and Michael Brown. The incident caused protests against the NYPD and heightened tensions. The document argues that addressing root causes of such incidents is important to prevent future violence, and calls for understanding without personal hatred or aggression.
A Fletcher man was charged with three counts of breaking and entering and larceny after breaking into the same house three times and stealing jewelry worth $15,300. An Asheville man was charged with attempted jail escape, identity theft, and robbery after robbing a man, stealing his identity, and trying to escape from jail. A former death row inmate who was wrongly convicted and spent 14 years on death row will speak at Brevard College about his experience and exoneration.

Two Columns by Tampa Tribune state bureau chief John WarkJohn T. Wark
The document summarizes two columns written by John Wark for the Tampa Tribune. The first column describes his observations overhearing a conversation between David Duke and two others at a Boston Market restaurant. He recognizes Duke as a white supremacist and failed political candidate. The second column discusses an announcement by Republican candidate Frank Brogan about improving education opportunities for disadvantaged students, though Brogan does not know the number of minority students in Florida's public schools and mistakes the author of the novel "Invisible Man."
Kathleen Mathews and her family have a long history of criminal behavior influenced by Kathleen. She has pleaded guilty to helping her son Jesse flee another crime, and her husband and daughter have also pleaded guilty for their roles. Jesse now faces the death penalty for killing a police officer in Chattanooga. Kathleen manipulated family members and has been described as controlling and domineering. This is not the first time she has influenced family to commit crimes as she was previously involved in a manslaughter case in another state decades ago.
The United States Coast Guard is searching for the owner of a red and yellow kayak found near the New Smyrna Beach inlet on Saturday. Several local agencies assisted in the search but were unable to find any missing persons. Anyone with information on the kayak's owner is asked to contact the Coast Guard. A group called "Back the Blue Florida" held a convoy of vehicles from Tampa to Daytona Beach to show support for police officers nationwide. Twenty-four people trapped in a hotel elevator in Daytona Beach on Friday night were safely rescued by firefighters. In 1946, Florida changed the numbering system for state highways, assigning new numbers to several roads.
Racial disparity in crime and punishmentJaysonTirado1
Racial disparities exist in how minorities are treated by the criminal justice system compared to white Americans. Minorities are more likely to be suspected of crimes and profiled by police, while white Americans are less likely to face these biases. Minorities also receive harsher punishments - black Americans receive sentences on average 19% longer than white Americans for similar crimes. The media contributes to these disparities by portraying white criminals in a more sympathetic light while often villainizing minorities or questioning the character of minority victims. These racial inequities continue to be a reminder that full equality has yet to be achieved in America's criminal justice system.
A sociologist credited with predicting the fall of the Soviet Union has warned that US global power is in a phase of accelerated decline under the leadership of Donald Trump — and will collapse while the property mogul is the White House.
Norwegian professor Johan Galtung is known as the "founding father" of peace studies as a scientific subject and is recognised for correctly predicting numerous historical events, among them the Tiananmen Square uprising in China and the September 11 attacks.
He attracted controversy in 2000 when he predicted US global power would collapse by 2025.

This document summarizes homicides that occurred in Chicago between January and May 2016. It discusses several individual homicides that exemplify broader trends. The number of homicides in 2016 was significantly higher than the previous year. The document suggests this is due to a "Ferguson effect" where police are less proactive due to fears of being filmed or facing lawsuits, and a lack of support from political leaders. It also discusses the disproportionate impact of homicides on African American communities in Chicago.
1) The document summarizes Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's controversial statements calling for banning all Muslims from entering the United States and potentially requiring Muslim Americans to register in a government database.
2) It draws comparisons between Trump's statements and Nazi Germany's treatment of Jews, including forcing Jews to wear gold Stars of David to identify their religion.
3) A political science professor is quoted saying that while Trump may not advocate for a corporatist state like fascist parties, he illustrates characteristics of fascist movements such as stereotyping an entire religious group.
How Stephen Miller Seized the Moment to Battle Immigration B.docxpooleavelina
How Stephen Miller Seized the Moment to Battle Immigration
By Jason DeParle
The New York Times
August 27, 2019
WASHINGTON—When historians try to explain how opponents of immigration
captured the Republican Party, they may turn to the spring of 2007, when George W.
Bush threw his waning powers behind a legalization plan and conservative populists
buried it in scorn.
Mr. Bush was so taken aback, he said he worried about America “losing its soul,” and
immigration politics have never been the same.
That spring was significant for another reason, too: An intense young man with wary,
hooded eyes and fiercely anti-immigrant views graduated from college and began a
meteoric rise as a Republican operative. With the timing of a screenplay, the man and
the moment converged.
Stephen Miller was 22 and looking for work in Washington. He lacked government
experience but had media appearances on talk radio and Fox News and a history of
pushing causes like “Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week.” A first-term congresswoman
from Minnesota offered him a job interview and discovered they were reading the same
book: a polemic warning that Muslim immigration cold mean “the end of the world as
we know it.”
By the end of the interview, Representative Michele Bachmann had a new press
secretary. And a dozen years later, Mr. Miller, now a senior adviser to President Trump,
is presiding over one of the most fervent attacks on immigration in American history.
The story of Mr. Miller’s rise has been told with a focus on his pugnacity and paradoxes.
Known more for his enemies than his friends, he is a conservative firebrand from liberal
Santa Monica, Calif., and a descendant of refugees who is seeking to eliminate refugee
programs. He is a Duke graduate in bespoke suits who rails against the perfidy of so-
called elites. Among those who have questioned his moral fitness are his uncle, his
childhood rabbi and 3,400 fellow Duke alumni.
Less attention has been paid to the forces that have abetted his rise and eroded
Republican support for immigration — forces Mr. Miller has personified and advanced
in a career unusually reflective of its times.
Rising fears of terrorism after the Sept. 11 attacks brought new calls to keep immigrants
out. Declining need for industrial labor left fewer businesses clamoring to bring them in.
A surge of migrants across the South stoked a backlash in the party’s geographic base.

The West’s View on Islam/Muslims: Islamophobia?Amira Daghache
This research paper will take a deeper look at the West’s view of Islam and asks questions whether it’s all Islamophobia or something deeper. It details how it started, who’s encouraging it and why, who’s benefiting from it, how it’s viewed in other mediums, how it affected Muslims, who are the most prominent public figures fighting it and how it become different in recent years.
The document discusses several incidents of violence involving black individuals and the criminal justice system. It summarizes the death of Eric Garner, who was placed in a chokehold by police for selling loose cigarettes, and the failure to indict the officer involved. It also discusses the shooting of Tamir Rice, a 12-year old boy holding a toy gun in a park, within seconds of police arriving. Finally, it mentions the shooting at Florida State University's library by a black alumni, and the protests and reactions to these and other incidents across the US.

rethinking crime and immigration
by robert j. sampson
The summer of 2007 witnessed a perfect storm of controversy
over immigration to the United States. After building for
months with angry debate, a widely touted immigration
reform bill supported by President George W. Bush and many
leaders in Congress failed decisively. Recriminations soon
followed across the political spectrum.
Just when it seemed media attention couldn’t be greater, a
human tragedy unfolded with the horrifying execution-style
murders of three teenagers in Newark, N.J., attributed by
authorities to illegal aliens.
Presidential candidate Rep. Tom Tancredo (R–Colorado)
descended on Newark to blame city leaders for encouraging
illegal immigration, while Newt Gingrich declared the “war at
home” against illegal immigrants was more deadly than the
battlefields of Iraq. National headlines and outrage reached a
feverish pitch, with Newark offering politicians a potent new
symbol and a brown face to replace the infamous Willie
Horton, who committed armed robbery and rape while on a
weekend furlough from his life sentence to a Massachusetts
prison. Another presidential candidate, former Tennessee sen-
ator Fred Thompson, seemed to capture the mood of the times
at the Prescott Bush Awards Dinner: “Twelve million illegal
immigrants later, we are now living in a nation that is beset by
people who are suicidal maniacs and want to kill countless
innocent men, women, and children around the world.”
Now imagine a nearly opposite, fact-based scenario.
Consider that immigration—even if illegal—is associated with
lower crime rates in most disadvantaged urban neighborhoods.
Or that increasing immigration tracks with the broad reduc-
tion in crime the United States has witnessed since the 1990s.
Well before the 2007 Summer of Discontent over immi-
gration, I proposed we take such ideas seriously. Based on hind-
sight I shouldn’t have been surprised by the intense reaction to
what I thought at the time was a rather logical reflection. From
the right came loud guffaws, expletive-filled insults, angry web
postings, and not-so-thinly veiled threats. But the left wasn’t
so happy either, because my argument assumes racial and eth-
nic differences in crime not tidily attributable to material dep-
rivation or discrimination—the canonical explanations.
Although Americans hold polarizing and conflicting views
about its value, immigration is a major social force that will
continue for some time. It thus pays to reconsider the role of
immigration in shaping crime, cities, culture, and societal
change writ large, especially in this era of social anxiety and
vitriolic claims about immigration’s reign of terror.

Consider first the “Latino Paradox.” Hispanic Americans
do better on a wide range of social indicators—including
propensity to violence—than one would expect given their
socioeconomic disadvantages. To assess this paradox in more

Shrinking Guest List
How Fidel Castro’s divisive legacy is reflected in the guest list at his memorial
Obama and Theresa May have swerved
it. Justin Trudeau and Boris Johnson
will be no-shows and Jeremy Corbyn is
sending Emily Thornberry. All in all, the list
of western leaders who won’t be attending
Fidel Castro’s funeral is looking more
notable than those who will.
As with the tributes that poured in after
the death of one of the world’s longest
serving leaders, politicians across the
world are split between praising Castro for
his revolutionary zeal and excoriating his
human rights record. François Hollande is
sending Ségolène Royal, but Greek prime
minister Alexis Tsipras will be there, as will
Gerry Adams, South African President Jacob
Zuma and Venezuelan president Nicolás
Maduro. Putin, is apparently busy working
on his end-of-year statement for Russian
lawmakers – the diplomatic equivalent of
washing his hair. But Castro is far from the
only world statesman to have a tricky guest
list at his funeral … Fidel Castro was one of
the world’s most polarizing figures, lionized
by some as a principled defender of the poor
and loathed by others as a repressive dictator
His divisive legacy can be seen in the
guest list of foreign dignitaries attending
memorial services for Castro in Havana this
week.
Many world leaders are notably absent.
British Prime Minister Theresa May,
German Chancellor Angela Merkel and
French President Francois Hollande declined
to attend Cuba’s elaborate homage to Castro,
who ruled the Caribbean island based on
Marxist principles for nearly half a century
— in part by jailing dissenters.
Also missing was President Obama, who
earlier this year met with Castro’s younger
brother, Raul, in a historic trip to Cuba
aimed at warming relations between the two
countries. Obama sent two U.S. officials to
the memorial instead.
The list of foreign leaders who decided to
attend the memorial in Havana’s Revolution
Square speaks to the enduring influence of
Castro’s revolution in many post-colonial
countries in Latin America and Africa,
especially those whose leaders lean toward
the ideological left.
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro
and Bolivian President Evo Morales paid
their respects at the square Tuesday along
with hundreds of thousands of Cuban
mourners. “Cuba is going through a moment
of profound shock,” Morales told reporters
the evening before. Castro, he said, was “my
brother.”
South African President Jacob Zuma,
Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe and
Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto were
among the other foreign leaders scheduled to
attend.
Russian President Vladimir Putin, whose
country was a close Cuban ally during
decades of Cold War, did not attend the
memorial. Aides said he was preparing for a
major speech.
Some foreign leaders found themselves
walking a thin line after Castro’s death on
Friday.

Since election day, there have been reports in Califor-
nia and across the country of hate crimes, ugly verbal
confrontations and other incidents. The election was one
of the most divisive in modern history, punctuated with
issues over illegal immigration, Muslims and treatment
of women.
Despite numerous high-profile incidents, officials said
they don’t know whether there are actually more hate
crimes since the election or whether they are simply
getting more attention.
Law enforcement agencies are trying to get ahead of
the problem. Some are launching task forces to quickly
investigate hate allegations. San Francisco, for example,
is sending undercover officers into neighborhoods to see
if they become the victims of hate crimes. It’s similar to
a program the department launched to reduce sport-re-
lated violence by having undercover cops wearing rival
team gear during playoffs.
Other agencies are stepping up outreach efforts to
encourage people to report hate crimes and incidents of
bigotry that are likely protected by the 1st Amendment,
but that officials still vowed to investigate.

“In times of turmoil, in times of uncertainty, in times
of strife, hate crimes increase. The fear of other is very,
very strong in humanity,” Los Angeles Police Chief
Charlie Beck said. “This cannot stand. This cannot be
something we allow as a people.”
Over the last week, law enforcement agencies
throughout California have launched a public awareness
campaign hoping to deter the perpetrators of hate crimes
and to remind victims that they should feel safe in re-
porting such incidents to police.
Authorities in Los Angeles and San Francisco are
monitoring social media comments that might rise to
the level of a criminal threat or serve as a precursor of a
hate crime.
San Francisco Dist. Atty. George Gascon said he
hopes the efforts will not only deter criminal activity but
also make those who fear being targeted feel safer.
“There are several things that are very concerning.
The fear level that has been impacting a lot of commu-
nities … people are not going out into certain places,”
Gascon said. “You’re seeing Muslim women afraid to
wear their traditional garb.”
Violence in Sacramento shows old and new faces of
white extremism

Experts say hate crimes are generally considered
underreported, in part because the victims either speak
poor English or fear that interaction with law enforce-
ment might spark questions about their immigration
status.
As a result, it’s difficult to get a clear sense of hate
crime trends. But one thing is clear: Even before the
presidential election cycle, hate crime reports were ris-
ing both nationally and in California.
Reported hate crimes throughout the U.S. rose 7% in
2015, according to the FBI. Incidents specifically target-
ing Muslims grew the most, with 257 reported incidents
last year compared with 154 the year before. In Cali-
fornia, hate crime reports increased by 10.4% in 2015,
according to the state attorney general’s office.
Officials are quick to point out that there is a dif-
ference between a hate crime and cruel or hurtful
comments, many of which are protected under the 1st
Amendment. The law makes it illegal to physically
harm someone based on his or her race, religion, na-
tional origin, gender or sexual orientation, among other
characteristics.
But Gascon and Beck also urged people to report
incidents that might not be prosecutable but still might
constitute racist or bigoted behavior. Police want to
track those as well, and hope that by collecting informa-
tion on racist behavior and speaking out against it, they
can battle back what some call the “normalization” of
hate.
“This is a new world for law enforcement,” Beck
said. “We have people that monitor social media partic-
ularly in and around the things that we think may be re-
lated to hate crimes, and then we make value judgments
based on the law.”
In September, the LAPD, the Rand Corp. and a group
of British researchers announced plans to monitor
millions of tweets related to the L.A. area in an effort to
identify patterns and markers that prejudice-motivated
violence is about to occur in real time. The researchers
then will compare the data against records of reported
violent acts.
The academics said the program could help determine
whether police can predict when and where hate crimes
are likely to occur and deploy law enforcement resourc-
es to prevent them.
In New York, Gov. Andrew Cuomo last week an-
nounced the establishment of a special police unit to
investigate hate crimes and established a hotline for
potential victims to call.
The Southern Poverty Law Center last week reported
701 incidents of harassment since Trump’s win, with
most occurring in the first three days following the elec-
tion. Of those, 206 incidents were anti-immigrant and
51 were anti-Muslim.
There also were 27 reported anti-Trump incidents,
according to the SPLC.
Civil rights advocates say identifying perpetrators of
hate crimes is difficult.
“In general the majority of hate crimes are not
perpetrated by card-carrying members of racist orga-
nizations,” said Joanna Mendelson, an investigative
researcher with the Anti-Defamation League’s Center
on Extremism. “There are so many more incidents that
are perpetrated by your juveniles, by your neighbor-
hood bigots. But they’re not members of your National
Socialist Movement or your local KKK.”
Trump has disavowed support from prominent white
supremacists, including former Ku Klux Klan Grand
Wizard David Duke, though critics say his outspoken
views have contributed to the tense political atmo-
sphere. In an interview with “60 Minutes” given days
after the election, Trump also said he was “saddened”
by reports of increased bias attacks.
“And I say, ‘Stop it.’ … I will say right to the camer-
as: ‘Stop it,’” Trump said.
Some experts on extremism hope Trump will do
more.
“We would like to see a speech addressing this spe-
cifically, not just saying the words ‘Stop it,’” said Brian
Levin, executive director of the Cal State San Bernardi-
no Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism.
Aside from a call for unity from Trump, other ac-
tivists called for greater outreach from local police.
Hussam Ayloush, executive director of the Council on
American-Islamic Relations in the greater Los Angeles
area, said he would like to see police and prosecutors
visiting local mosques and schools in an effort to as-
suage fears.
Ayloush said many of the incidents reported to CAIR
after the election involved harassment rather than vio-
lence. Muslims in Los Angeles, Riverside and Orange
counties have reported at least 15 incidents to CAIR,
saying they were screamed at for wearing religious garb
in public or received anti-Islamic slurs in recent weeks,
according to Ayloush.
One Muslim college professor walked into class and
found a note on his desk that read, “this is not your
country, this is Trump’s country,” Ayloush said.
Over the last few days, at least four mosques around
California received copies of a handwritten letter ad-
dressed to “the children of Satan” that called Muslims a
“vile and filthy people.”
“Your day of reckoning has arrived,” the letter states,
according to CAIR. “There’s a new sheriff in town —
President Donald Trump. He’s going to cleanse America
and make it shine again. And, he’s going to start with
you Muslims.”
“There’s a lot of concern today,” Ayloush said.
“When I visit people at mosques, people are worried,
especially people who are visibly Muslim.”
Law enforcement officials and Muslim leaders will
discuss the letters during a news conference Monday at
the Islamic Center of Southern California.

Why a fine dining chef gave up a restaurant career for marijuana-plant-to-table cuisine
From Caviar to Cannabis
“I remember the first time I smoked OG Kush,” chef Holden Jagger says. “I thought it tasted like Mexican
food.”
The 32-year-old chef is prepping for a dinner party, perched over the stove browning pears in a cast iron pan
slick with duck fat. It’s a familiar task for Jagger, who spent six years — under the name Holden Burkons; he now
uses his middle name, Jagger, as his last — working pastry stations under chef Tom Colicchio at Craft and Curtis
Stone at Maude, as well as a long stint at Soho House, the members-only celebrity haunt on Sunset Boulevard. The
smell of marijuana lingers in the kitchen, left over from cold-smoking shallots with a cannabis variety called In the
Pines, which the chef cultivates in his garden partly for its strong notes of citrus, apple and, yes, pine.
The shallots are destined for dinner’s first course of caviar with smoked crème fraîche and pumpernickel shards,
and the caramelized pears on the stove will find their way into a cheese course where tiny nuggets of burrata are
dressed with a single pickled marijuana leaf that has been salt curing in his pantry since August.
At this marijuana dinner, it’s not the food that will get you stoned. When cannabis appears in a dish, it’s intend-
ed solely for flavor, aromatics — and sometimes theater. When those artfully tweezered bites of burrata and pear
hit the table, they arrive under a glass dome filled with cannabis smoke.
