Trump is removing studies from the BJS website that shows undocumented immigrants commit fewer crimes. Obviously among other things.

This is a study that used to be on the bjs website.

Comparing crime rates between undocumented immigrants, legal immigrants, and native-born US citizens in Texas | PNAS
We make use of uniquely comprehensive arrest data from the Texas Department of Public Safety to compare the criminality of undocumented immigrants ...

A treat finding an author I had to read in grad school in the wild.

Especially when he established a cognizable line for me between populism vs. not populism on a very nuanced point.
I decided to start a #thread 🧵 of stories about legal residents and tourists being (illegally) arrested, detained and/or deported by the Trump regime. I'll only post stories from serious sources, as rumors and conspiracies are really not needed in this authoritarian moment.

1995 was a big year for ass-wipe Gingrich. He’s so famous for that cleavage, he’s in every first year poly sci textbook for it.

If anyone watches, keep the phrase “party purity” in mind as you do.

I do not love my enemies.
Any time I am tempted by Christianity, I think of this phrase and remember that no part of me loves my enemies.
And no part of me wants to.
Respect their talents? Sure.
But love? Never.
We’re doing “love your enemies” with the kids in sunday school today. I will be very very honest when I tell them it is a thing I struggle with in my life!!!

When you want to make comedy history 50 years ago, you called George Carlin.

For all the "what do you expect them to do??" folks, here's another one: Since they can't win votes, Democrats should focus on shaping operations.

In the Army, shaping operations create conditions for the success of a future decisive operation. They are vital in war *and* politics.

Here’s where grad school and lofty abstract concepts of right/wrong and labels are at polar ends of reality.

This is Patel.

Looking for my first literary agent.

Real memoir. Please don’t let the Speechify voice scare you away. It’s the best I can do now.

This one sounds too gruff for me. Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe it separates the raw from the sophistication.

Any agents?

As a reluctant Tim Pool hate watcher for the last too many years, including a masters thesis on him, I have many low grade scoops about him and Tenet.

1.) Tim hired Laura Southern separately from Tenet around the same time

2.) Tim also hired Ashley St. Clair with Russian money around then, too

A guy in San Quentin prison told me today that they did a mock election - and the results are kinda wild.

Only 57% of prisoners opposed Prop 36 (which increased penalties for drugs & thefts).

And 22% of them would have voted against banning prison slavery. abc7news.com/post/san-que...

@themarshallproject.org ~19 million Americans were just abjectly and overtly discriminated against in one sitting last week.

Surely there’s something that can be done about this.

We either have zero faith in the criminal justice system, or we’re a monarchy.

This is a crisis. I promise.
