In case you're looking for one last reason not to vote for #DonaldTrump on Tuesday: @lbyiuou , @nic_rothbacher , and I investigated how Trump's use of the term "China Virus” spread on #Twitter this year. nicogj.github.io/post/2020/10/3…
New from me, @MeitalHoffman, Isabelle Chun and Dain Kim: "What Happens to Citizen Complaints Against Cops in New York? An analysis of complaint data" medium.com/@nick.rothbach…
Alarming footage shows militarized federal agents pulling a Portland protester off the street and loading them into an unmarked minivan
This man was experiencing homelessness, and left a crowded shelter. Did this confrontation have to happen? Or could it have been prevented if we had invested in guaranteed housing and jobs, social/health first responders, educational opportunities, expanded UI, etc?
Wow. In MIT/Harvard case, DHS has fully agreed to rescind the July 6 ICE guidance and July 7 FAQ, and rescind all implementing guidance! So no TRO, because the government backed down completely.
The Biden campaign announced a 2035 clean electricity standard and a commitment to 40% climate investments in communities of color today. Massive, massive wins for the environmental justice and climate movements. I promise it's more important than the other discourses occurring.
In other words: We know we're going to lose in the courts, let's try again. What a complete mess for everyone involved.

@ReichlinMelnick @Ardhen723 Having covered immigration policy for this long, I would argue these proposals aren’t the distractions — they are what sneak by the public that have long-lasting, very real implications for our law while everyone else is focused on a tweet or comment or bickering.
🚨 @DHSgov just began its latest attack on asylum. This proposed regulation would use COVID to effectively pull the United States out of the UN Protocol on Refugees, barring protection (asylum/withholding) to anyone coming from a country with an outbreak. s3.amazonaws.com/public-inspect…

There are places in imm law where public health is spelled out as a concern—as well as public-health laws that can be/are being used for imm purposes (like current border expulsion policy). This is an argument that public health=“security” even when law DOESN’T say it’s a factor.

There’s plenty of evidence that police violence *increases* crime rates in communities, especially Black communities. Then, police use these crime rates to justify even more aggressive policing practices. Let’s review the research. (1/x)
The Trump administration is using ICE to threaten universities into teaching in person by threatening international students with deportation if they're all online. This is a death to Americans policy, in addition to a massive fuck you to intl students. ice.gov/news/releases/…

I'm long America. Despite institutional decay, Congress has the latent power to fix most of the deep structural problems. It just has to do it. Thankfully, technology and demographic turnover work continuously to upend status quo coalitions. Change comes slowly then all at once.

John Lewis was a giant among men. A Civil Rights Icon, an indefatigable champion for justice, and a hell raiser known for making ‘good trouble.’ In mourning his passing, let us aspire to build the nation that Congressman Lewis believed it could be. May he Rest In Peace.

Lists are a way for bad players to do efficient, coordinated harassment. Particularly if you notice an uptick in the volume of trolling, check your lists as one way of interrupting the process.
Oh and it gets better. If a school starts with in person classes and has to switch midsemester because case counts spike, students are up the creek.
I hope this arbitrary, capricious, racist rule change will be yet another casualty of this Administration's failure to follow the Administrative Procedure Act or the Constitution. Going to have to step up again, courts.
This is bad. ICE just told students here on student visas that if their school is going online-only this fall, the students must depart the United States and cannot remain through the fall semester. ice.gov/news/releases/…
This is really depressing. When students pay tuition, they pay for all the benefits accompanying school experience. Rules should be flexible for situations that are inevitable. Please, think about the mental health of these students.

i’ve been trying to come up with a single justification for ICE’s new student visa regulations and i haven’t been able to. there’s no public health or “security” benefit to it. the point is to punish people for not being american. that’s it
Seriously, what the fuck is this? It's unbelievable how this administration goes out of its way to make a bad situation more painful. Could universities get around this by standing up some one-credit F2F courses for foreign students?

The trillion dollar question. Why are COVID cases increasing while deaths are decreasing? The answer is simple. It's called Simpson's paradox and it's the result of incorrectly pooling data and arriving at a false conclusion. A thread 1/9 #COVID19 #ThursdayThoughts
Police unions really have rigged the system. They got cities to sign legally binding contracts that prohibit any layoffs of police. So they can’t really cut size of the police force. And they can’t cut the budget because they also agreed to automatic salary/benefits increases.
