The biggest project I've worked on for the last chunk of years was just published. It asks, how big are US Black-white lifespan differences?

This might seem like a narrow question. I hope to convince you by the end that there are answers you didn't anticipate. And I hope some of them will move you.

New, from me: Marco Rubio used to boast that he was banned from China, calling it a totalitarian state.

Now he combines a) new surveillance capabilities to monitor and punish international students, with b) little accountability or due process. 🧵

This is a wrongheaded move that will simultaneously sever noncitizens’ relationship to state institutions, threaten the well-being of immigrant families, and deprive Social Security beneficiaries of a tax base that has allowed the program to remain solvent. Shame.
