With Brian Charest

I'm supporting Jessica Cisneros in her primary against the last House Democrat who opposes abortion rights. The election is three weeks from today. Join me at her fundraiser tonight—this is something we can do right now to fight for abortion rights: secure.actblue.com/donate/5-3-war…

Right-wing extremists have hijacked the Supreme Court of the United States. We must #ExpandTheCourt to rebalance it and defend our basic rights, including the constitutional right to an abortion.

As a survivor, I am thinking about how Brett Kavanaugh and Clarence Thomas are credibly accused of having violated and harassed women and are now the ones about to deny us our right to abortion care. Abusers do not belong in public office. Period.

I don’t care how the draft leaked. That’s a sideshow. What I care about is that a small number of conservative justices, who lied about their plans to the Senate, intend to deprive millions of women of reproductive care. Codifying Roe isn't enough. We must expand the court.

Hi there 👋🏽 it’s your local “radical extremist” here regularly introducing legislation that’s popular with voters from both parties yet challenges the class interests controlling both so instead they convince you it’s “naïve, ineffective, and unreasonable,” how do you do? 🤠

Reflections on the Study Away Experience in Cuba | University of Redlands redlands.edu/study/schools-…

I wrote about the long push for student debt cancellation and where we can go from here. Below is a point that too many critics of this effort miss. newrepublic.com/article/167539…

I’m a private person, so was very nervous going a huge podcast like Making Sense Podcast & being interviewed for hours. But I gotta say, @SamHarrisOrg was one of the most gracious & insightful people I’ve chatted w/ in a while…well at least since @powellnyt open.spotify.com/episode/7x1fuU…

How much more respected is America around the world under Joe Biden? This much.

When Republicans are in power, they rack up giant deficits, mainly by cutting taxes on corporations and the wealthy. Then when Democrats take the reins, Republicans blame them for being big spenders. It’s always the same story.

And that’s a wrap on our Thursday-morning run! We had three new runners, another birthday celebration, and finalized our Joshua Tree ultrarun plans. We never rest! Join us every Mon/Thur, 6am, in Downtown LA for 5 miles! #skidrowrunningclub #running

We did something really hard today. The 1st Annual Skid Row Running Club Joshua Tree Ultra kicked off at 8am this morning. 37.3 miles. 3,000’+ elevation gain. We had 7 finishers! Brutal terrain, epic run. Can’t wait to do it again! #skidrowrunningclub #ultrarun #joshuatree

This is the graph everyone needs to see for International Workers' Day.

Where’d this rain come from? Weird. Well, we ran our standard 5 miles anyway. Refreshing! We’re running again on Thursday; you should join us! DM for details. #skidrowrunningclub #running #marathontraining #DTLA

This is what I do for a living! Unleashing these beast into the world. Go shake it up kings.

Much respect for David Leonhardt's journalism, but this thread is going on my quant syllabus as an example of how to mislead (not lie! but mislead) with statistics. SAT/ACT are way less of a deal than is implied here. Strap in, because we're going into the weeds on this thread...
