There's a school of thought which suggests that the only way to disable the fascist movement is to stop shielding MAGA voters from the consequences of their actions. Well, now that the GOP administration is disabling disease surveillance, response, and even basic research, there's no shield. 1/ 🧵

I’m glad people read my words, but I wish they didn’t still resonate. I want my books housed under “History” instead of “Current Events.” I want my warnings to be heeded and an alternate America to emerge: the America we deserve. sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/i-spent-no...

Biostatisticians generally don’t get that point. There is no residual variance in logistic regression. See also doi.org/10.1162/rest... on economists stumbling upon that (although for most, random effects is something that you don’t admit using in public.)

Suddenly I look the fittest in the class reunion photos even though I had steady “C” in PE through middle and high school. This is a puzzle I am OK living with 👌.

I love all the handwringing about Zohran’s lack of experience when a 19 year-old called Big Balls has recently been made a permanent federal employee with the title Senior Advisor at the GS-15 pay grade in the General Services Administration.

Listen, we're straight shooters at Hell Gate. We play no favorites. Like, say if anyone wracked up speeding violations in school zones, and then parked their car in the middle of traffic in midtown Manhattan. You know what we'd call you? An ASSHOLE. Here's one. hellgatenyc.com/cuomo-derang...

I had to read this several times to get over my shock, even with this regime. Trump regime ending a requirement for VA to treat everyone regardless of politics. Hopefully few VA professionals will choose that discrimination. Now one step away from mandating loyalty to the regime to access services.

I just like to post these data from time to time to puncture the mythological aura of mid 20th c protests. They were less popular than pretty much any 21st c mass action & people criticizing them used the same lines. Protest is about people coming together, shaping narratives, & building power.

Tanks in Moscow, 1991. Three people were killed during the communist coup that tried to overturn societal shift towards democracy and market economy. This photo is probably the third day when it was clear that commies were losing; Yeltsin used tactical gear in his appearances on the first day.

You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work. You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules. Get your lies straight.

Super late to the party on this, but I don’t think it matters what kind of bullets that cop shot the Australian reporter with. Cops have no business shooting reporters in the first place.

I am in downtown Los Angeles right now and it is completely surreal to hear that Trump is sending Marines here. We are listening to mariachi music. People have dogs. There are teenagers here. It is utterly and completely peaceful. Please tell your friends.

This Senate proposal advanced by Sen Cruz would cancel new and existing State laws on any aspect of tech use including civil rights, consumer protection, privacy, fraud, safety for kids, accessibility, and more. In short, we’d lose the few laws we have that ensure responsible AI use. #killthebill
