Few things better summarize the fact that "tough on crime" is about social control, not actually fighting serious crime, than the contrast between these two stories, both of which came out today.

To instrumentalize what my sister is saying below: every time someone says DEI say “you mean civil rights?” Every time someone says they are against woke reply “oh so you’re a segregationist!” Words have meaning! Don’t allow that nonsense to stand.

Jimmy Kimmel hoping people will share this with Republicans. He suspects that most people don’t actually know the things that Trump says and does. He’s right. So Kimmel presents what Trump says. The media has normalized Trump and sanewashed his comments. It is misinfo. youtu.be/Oy0zq8YzY9w?...

Highlight of 2 days of canvassing in PA: This morning a guy named Jesus admitted he was undecided, I spent some time having a real conversation with him, and he ended up coming back and voting early for Harris. GOTV works. Human connections work. Get out there.

Hochschild’s concept of a “deep story” can be helpful here. Veracity isn’t as important as whether something “feels true” — if it aligns with values, hopes, fears, etc. Deep stories persist across time, connecting events. Corrections of single claims are unlikely to change belief in the story.

The idea of killing something so exquisite as a leopard for no reason other than that you inexplicably think it's fun is incomprehensible.

The Economist has published a deeply-researched story about car bloat -- and it's very, very damning. "For every life that the heaviest 1% of SUVs and trucks save, there are more than a dozen lives lost in other vehicles." Well worth your time: www.economist.com/interactive/...

My brother didn't call 911 with chest pains because an ambulance would've cost $1500. He didn't have his wife drive him to the ER because the copay there is obscenely high too. Instead, he died. He leaves behind two children, a widow and a family. Hurting forever. Health care is a human right.

I wanted to quote tweet every paragraph on this new op-ed by Tressie McMillan Cottom, it's so good. It could be taught in women's & gender studies courses or polisci courses.

I understand the intuitive appeal of attempting to appear 'fair and balanced.' But if the underlying reality is unequal, failing to point that out is just misinforming readers.

#PsychSciSky So what's behind opposition trans-positive policies? Is it really concerns about male violence, as we often hear asserted? @theklamorgenroth.bsky.social et al, new paper: journals.sagepub.com/doi/epub/10....
