This is a gross abuse of power & the latest in a decade-long, racist smear campaign against a duly elected Black Congresswoman. Trump is a coward who is weaponizing his DOJ to fuel hate & intimidate opponents with baseless attacks like these, just like with Rep. McIver, Lisa Cook & Tish James.

Today I want to talk about my favorite dummymanders. In a dummymander, the geniuses behind the map have cut margins too close, and create vulnerabilities for themselves. tl;dr: pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered. Here are four states that took it too far - and where you can make a difference.

The risk ratios are implausible: 2.5 for all cancers at 2 km, and 30-fold for thyroid cancer at 2 km. Routine plant emissions cannot do this. And the definition of "proximity" introduces artifacts. Fitting log(rate) linearly in 1/d forces a sharp peak near the source that fades by about 20–25 km.

Something big may be happening: Trump's world-historical misrule may be creating the conditions for the emergence of a coalition similar to the one that ousted Viktor Orban earlier this year: Anti-corruption, anti-authoritarian, pro-democracy. I made this case here: newrepublic.com/article/2161...

"He is not here to help. He’s distant, angry, a figure of nothing but venom & vengeance. He walks toward the viewer like a serial killer stalking his prey, his face a mask of contempt & barely-contained rage. His visage in this ad is glowering, almost a parody of a dictator trying to inspire terror"

Trump’s taxpayer-funded agitprop is clearly illegal — and that’s the point.

Student journalists have been heroes over the past ten years and the fact that we have allowed the world to reach a state where hardly any of them will be able to serve communities as journalists after they graduate is something we should all feel shame about

Finally, the Trump rehabilitation of Putin campaign hit a new milestone. Sometimes Trump's heart is so full of love for the Russian dictator, he cannot control himself.

Not a new idea at all, but we really need to bring back the Office of Technology Assessment (or something analogous) to focus on AI-related risks.

Great piece. I'd just note that we're about to head into headwinds like we haven't seen since the fall of 2024. Capital and their media drones will rain down anything they can upon us to keep the GOP in power. And there are so many variables that we have absolutely no precedent to weigh against.

Texas has suspended over 1.2 million voter registrations. Many valid voters in Texas have found their voter registrations were somehow canceled when they checked. Check your registration here and fix it immediately - Texas doesn't always honor provisional ballots cast on election day.

NEW (& no paywall): One of Flock's biggest selling points is its private search network—but how does it actually work? And how does an ordinary city end up sharing its data with, say, 2,000+ other agencies? I FOIA'ed Flock customers from around the country to find out: www.wired.com/story/how-an...

How an Atlanta Suburb Ended Up Sharing Flock Data With More Than 2,000 Organizations
Alpharetta, Georgia, cops share data with thousands of Flock users, ranging from federal agencies to a fish and wildlife commission. The reasons why show how vast—and invasive—the network has become.

Decades of anti-immigrant escalation are solidifying into an industrialized concentration camp system in the U.S. And we are running out of time to stop it, in part because it's such good business. Proud to share one of the most important things I’ve ever worked on.

I'm seeing some people ask why the Democratic Party and congressional leaders aren't doing more to challenge Trump's anti-voting executive order. They were literally the first to seek a new injunction after SCOTUS ruled. I know, because I am their lawyer. www.democracydocket.com/cases/trump-...

The loss of TPS for our Haitian residents is a devastating reality - one that could have been prevented by this federal admin. If you or someone you know is trying to understand what the termination of TPS means for them, relief may still be available. Reach out to our office for more resources.
