There is a sequence in Berkeley Soc I’ve taken called Computational Social Science. It covers gif hub. We got a few weeks to check out the basics, learned team collaboration and data management functions that would be regularly use through out the class and took a stab at making our own website.
2030 Census testing--planned for 2026--has been canceled in most of the planned locations. Cancelations include tribal and rural areas.
Details in this 🧵
See Janet Napolitano talking, must remind people that she oversaw most of Arpaio's worse excesses and did...nothing.

UPDATE: Bondi, Noem and Gabbard did not show up.
Visa announces it will allow customers to direct credit card rewards into Trump accounts.
Trump is calling the move a “big deal.”
Visa, the largest credit card processsor in the US, is facing an antitrust lawsuit filed under Biden's DOJ.
I cannot tell you how much doubt was consistently directed at the Gaza Health Ministry’s casualty numbers and how much pressure was put on news organizations to couch those numbers as unreliable.
Biden himself said they were fabricated!

The Deportation Data Project has some interesting information about how people are being arrested by immigration police and what is happening.
First thing worth pointing out, the increased number of immigration arrests are from massive "street arrests" and more transfers from other agencies.
Dangerous, astonishingly naive and disgusting. Any institution affiliated with this individual’s career should be deeply ashamed for producing such non-sense.
We tried to explain that criminalization is the fuel of fascism.
We . Are . Everywhere.
😭😭😭😂😂😂
Would you mind sending and or posting the syllabus Dr. Farris ?
7 Dems joined House Republicans in voting for a bill that would enable ICE agents to strip search 12-year-olds.

The Supreme Court will ultimately decide whether to uphold the longstanding principle that grants citizenship to the children of non-citizens born in the U.S., following a legal challenge by the Trump administration. n.pr/48E1oko
Ah gotcha. Sorry I didn’t catch you mentioning the institutional/state building part. No argument made by me just recounting what I believe to be the claim of the authors .
Granted I’ve only become familiar with the lit in the last year. But what I think is more novel here is not the culture argument part. In the paper the causal chain more or less begins with unequal state building that then shape “culture” responses. So then the culture/behavioral effects are ds.
One favorite papers over the last few years. The mobility of stratified state building and coercive practices.
Moments ago: tenants of the South Shore apartment building that federal immigration agents raided at the end of September held a presser to announce they're forming a tenants union.
They're demanding, among other things, sewage removal and heat and electricity restroration.
More updates TK.
The government shutdown has put SNAP benefits at risk for millions of Americans. Travis Peters, an urban farmer in Detroit, is giving out free produce tomorrow
'If it's getting tight, my food is free. Don’t even sweat that'
Today, the president of the US wrote a “memo” suspending Congress’ control over appropriations. Also, a Supreme Court justice suggested that maybe congressional laws just “expire” when the Court thinks they’re no longer needed. The Speaker of the House hasn’t commented on either.
The massive agency of secret police wants to vacuum information and build files on Americans to figure out who they should sweep up and remove from the country.
I recommend reading the fantastic book IBM and the Holocaust to think about how tech companies facilitate fascism.
Literally scouring the internet for said data 😭
It feels crazy to have a book basically covering several years of what you spent most of your time doing 😭. Hype to read this.
"The drones won't just be eyes in the sky. They will be able to communicate with homeless people. The department said this will prevent officers from exposing themselves to potential risk, such as loose animals, terrain issues and other hazards until they are sure it is safe to move in."
Ah makes sense. I think their diss has an updated version. Funny enough they are a postdoc at an institute at Berkeley law ran by Boudin now.
It is simply not enough for universities to say, “Our grants & research offices are looking into how research will be affected by the latest directive.”
University leaders must actively and very publicly make the case for the kind of work many of us do. The silence on this front is deafening.
Excited to share results from a 4-year first-ever RCT across US jails. We (Crystal Yang & I) find that death rates are much higher in jails than officially reported & health care accreditation improves staff coordination, quality & save lives.

May I be added ? Thank you for making this!
Wait I can’t see likes here either?!?! 😭😭🥲🥲😔😔
