You gotta read the fine print.
"We hold theses truths to be self evident: that ALL * men are created equal."
* Except for women, who don’t get to vote. Oh, and non-property owning men. Oh, and not African Americans.
Sort of like “All Lives Matter."
Mathy WOTD from 538: "Why Statistics Don’t Capture The Full Extent Of The Systemic Bias In Policing"
This is a really good article explaining why it is so hard to describe the disparities in who police "interact" with different races. Obviously there are problems with laws that prevent good record keeping, but even with the records, you have a problem. One example: If police stop blacks at 10 times the rate of whites, that explains why "contraband" is found less-often on blacks, which means that the stops were not based on suspicious activity.
From Pew Research 10 things we know about race and policing in the U.S.
What does it mean that approximately two thirds of police said the problem is “isolated incidents”? Do they not see the problem or do they not WANT to see the problem.
Or maybe it is like a White person saying: “I’ve never encountered violent behavior from the police, so police are peace keepers, not enforcers”. Maybe that is changing broadly as White people turned out in the recent protests, and received personal experience of rioting riot police.
Bulwark is a great read this morning.
yep
hat tip to CHB – every day
In today's Republican version of how to win friends and influence people:
1. take the top news story — pandemic re-ignited.
2. consider what people are worried about — health care as a top issue
3. choose to make a move on health care
4. choose this approach as the preferred move:
Trump’s legal argument for throwing out all of the ACA
Aw, so sad. They’re gonna do it to themselves again. I could just…
Mary Trump’s tell-all book is on its way to the public; the injunction against its publication was denied .
Younger brother Robert Trump had been recovering from days in a neurological ICU when he signed papers to try to stop Mary’s book.
The book is already a pre-ordered best seller on Amazon, although it is not due out until July 28.
Sounds like the Trump family is court-hopping, looking for an "activist judge. "
Does anyone need to read it to know what i mostly says?
I don't think she's going to use the word douchweasel but.
MADCO! You made me squirt beer out of my nose! Ow!
Great news!
It didn't take Zuck long to "start dancing"…
Money, money, money….
now it matters, Eh Mark?
I never know what these ads they're talking about are. I have https://www.fbpurity.com/ So I don't see them. It's the best ad blocker out there and it's free.
Good on the House of Representatives, which today voted to approve D.C. statehood. Now it's on to the Senate, where the measure is doomed.
If you're into rage laughing, there's an 18-minute vid on YouTube featuring Tom Cotton talking about why D.C. statehood is a terrible idea. For those who aren't quite that masochistic, Cotton's screed boils down to, "There's just too many goddamn black people in D.C. to let it become a state."
Why not make Denver, Cleveland, and los Angeles states? And Puerto Rico?
The district should be attached to Maryland or Virginia.
If by "attached to" you mean "made part of," in view of Article I, Section 8, Clause 17 of the U.S. Constitution, a fair number of people would say you need a constitutional amendment for that. They're largely the same people who say you need a constitutional amendment to make D.C. a state. The argument is based far more on material James Madison wrote for the Federalist Papers than any language that actually made it into the Constitution, but it's taken seriously enough that the legislation the House just passed carves out a federal enclave within the new state.
The best argument against D.C. statehood I've seen is one The Onion proffered as a joke: Why bother admitting a new state to a union that'll be dead and gone in a generation or two?
Have you given up on Dump hukistan, V?
Given Los Angeles County alone has the equivalent population of our bottom ten least-populated states combined you might be on to something.
If the glacier melts continue Cleveland will be subsumed by Lake Erie.
Yes on Puerto Rico.
