Third chart: #nonreligious #Latino adults are still very young. In 2007 52% were under the age of 35, in 2024 55% were born in or after 1990.

Second chart: there’s now gender parity among #secular #Latinos & #Latinas. In 2007 58% of #nonreligoous were latinos and 42% Latinas. In 2024 is 47% & 48% respectively

Hello!

I am your friendly neighborhood First Amendment professor here to provide some background on Chiles v. Salazar, to be argued in Supreme Court this morning.

At issue is whether Colorado can ban licensed therapists from inflicting the discredited practice of “conversion therapy” on minors

Those are not mutually exclusive

The U.S. Treasury shared a proposal to mint $1 Trump coins to mark America’s 250th anniversary.

But U.S. code says only deceased individuals may appear on U.S. currency, a tradition dating back to efforts to break from monarchical rule. https://wapo.st/4pWsyL3

The paradox of the Trump era is how bullying reflects weakness. Popular leaders don't need to intimidate urban centers. Effective authoritarians don't browbeat their military leadership en masse. Good deal-makers don't box their opponents into confrontation.

Now discussing the midterms (D +2 in generic ballot) say that they have “only” gained support among the young and POC, who are apparently either not people or not important or both

But he’s underwater, and most people reject his policies. However the NYT folk are just talking about Trumpers and their feelings and opinions as if these are the only ones that matter

Dr. Juhem Navarro-Rivera @juhemnr.me · 8d

The way they are discussing the NYT poll in The Daily makes it sound as if most of the country was cool with what’s going on. Saying “voters are still with Trump” suggest he has high approvals

Dr. Juhem Navarro-Rivera @juhemnr.me · 8d

Listening to The Daily’s analysis of their own NYT poll and, oh boy, evangelicalism has permeated society so much that even poll analysis is discussed literally. Context doesn’t matter

I don’t watch the #SuperBowl but when I do is because #BadBunny headlines the #halftimeshow.

I mean there’s gotta be a point where having yet another TV commercial with Peyton Manning has diminishing returns, or even a negative effect. Please, I want to live in that world…

WAPO SCOOP: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered hundreds of generals to travel on short notice from around the world to hear him make a speech on military standards and the “warrior ethos,” multiple people familiar with the event told The Washington Post.

New details emerge on Hegseth’s unusual mass gathering of top brass

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has summoned hundreds of generals for what is expected to be a short lecture on the “warrior ethos.” But top brass is bracing for possible firings or demotions.
