Fwiw, put that on the playlist for my memorial. 🎶

I really wish the news coverage was MORE concerned with #JackSmith 's documented finding that Trump COMMITS CRIMES... And less concerned that GOP Senators are clowns and failed PerryMason wannabes. Which they ARE! It just seems less relevant. PS #goHawks 🏀

Been looking @ yesterday's news. What I get from it is that Sen. Schmitt totally FAILS in his weak effort to out-Columbo Smith. Also, extra credit to @klobuchar.senate.gov with the quick pickoff. Yep, she does know team name of neighboring state's 🏀 team. #goHawks

That study found: the discouragement provoked by citizenship topic could diminish voluntary response by > 6,000,000. ... I would think this a low estimate, bc the published analysis was in context of Trump 1st term, before the 2025+ effort by ICE to actively persecute, round up, deport millions.

What if #2030Census questionaire is still available to everyone, as Constitution A14 requires - BUT a citizenship Q? is added? This introduces discouragement (= bias) to enumeration process. Researchers at @shorensteinctr.bsky.social analyzed this in 2018! shorensteincenter.org/resource/est...

Near my workplace downtown, I found a great @chargepointnet.bsky.social station. $2 buys me about 10 kwh = 35 miles. Is that cheaper than a gallon of gas? #thanksJoeBiden

Which of those is worse? Maybe both (end/4)

Todd Graham @metrogram.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Which is worse: The credulous idea we’ve attained a postracial society so there’s No Need to ask ANY question about race? Or maybe Trmp Administration's insertion of the citizenship and green-card question… because they say if you don't have one or the other, then you'll not be counted? (3/4)

For most of my career - before 2017 - career in government stats was NOT a very political thing. It wasn't! It was "just the facts." But now, the current regime has made it all political with their malicious attacks on expertise, on research, on evidence... (1/4)

Todd Graham @metrogram.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Reading this, we should all assume malicious intent on the part of Trmp Administration. And this WILL cause chaos in planning uses and demographic study uses of #censusdata. So... bottom line... Not Good 😕

Everyone really needs to get better at not engaging with right wing rage bait, the right just has guys whose whole job is to clip shit out of context and I see people who should know better fall for that shit.

seems like a key to the whole dynamic, Dave @volts.wtf

I know you're not allowed to say this during the current debate, but the reason the left dominates academics, art, comedy, and music is that the right has stupid, discredited ideas, they're not funny, and dull resentment does not make for good art. No grand conspiracy required.
