It’s de-escalation. And it’s grounded in the social science of violence. 🧵

Can we get as many eyes on this as possible? Archaeology in the US is likely at risk. It has been for a while. I don't like fear mongering, but all aspects of cultural work and preservation could change for the worse.

Hard agree here. One of my continuing frustrations with political debates to the left of the center is that few people seem to seriously consider the elephant in the room: the incredibly perverse information environment and how one deals with it.
the democratic party’s basic problem is it has almost no control over how its message reaches the ears of voters, especially outside of presidential election years. but rather than devote serious time, attention and cash to that problem its consultants and pundits want to fight factional battles

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

When people say "We used to drink raw milk from our own cow and it was fine,"
That's... usually not the case!
In families w their own cow, the mom usually boiled it before using.
We just forgot bc that's a boring chore that mom did. And who pays attention to that?
