Did you know that your siblings can influence whether you vote?

Well, because of our new working paper you do!

In general, I am very skeptical of claims of backlash.

But this paper is worth discussing, regardless.

New APSR sure to spark discussion argues:

Confederate monuments actually reduced violence against Black people historically & that their recent removals have increased anti-Black hate crimes

Monuments "act as a substitute for performative violence in constructing a white supremacist social order"

It’s unconscionable that lifesaving medical care is so expensive that we’re forced to platforms like GoFundMe to help kids survive.

Regardless, if you have the desire and the means, would you consider donating to help a 6 year old family member’s battle with leukemia?

Perhaps one way to evaluate the quality of a research article is to assess its teachability.

Is the article clear about its identifying assumptions?

Does it lay out the results clearly?

Does it engage with its limitations transparently?

After the heinous shooting at an LDS chapel in Michigan over the weekend, a member of the church set up a fund for the shooter's wife and children.

It's raised $150k so far.

Deeply moving.
