In addition to the more obvious problems associated with placing disproportionate blame on immigration for violent crime, it also causes us to focus fewer resources on the actual causes of violent crime.
THREAD: The Trump administration's DOJ has removed a study from the NIJ website that found that immigrants, and particularly undocumented immigrants, commit crimes at significantly lower rates than U.S. citizens.
The study is at odds with the Trump regime's propaganda about immigrants & crime. (1)

Trump Admin Pulls Research Funding To Protect Pregnant Women From Domestic Violence

This is really tragic. Perinatal #IPV involves concerns about the immediate health and wellbeing of the adult victim, but abuse during pregnancy is also an indicator of a greater likelihood of a homicide ultimately being committed. And then there are concerns about the health of the baby. 1/3
Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women.
More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.
I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

It is February 24th. 189 years ago today, William Travis wrote the most famous document in the annals of Texas history. Remarkably, given the conditions under which it was written and sent out from the Alamo, Travis' letter still exists.

If a song is a great song it doesn't matter what style it's played in. Milk Cow Blues has been covered by Bob Wills, Aerosmith, Willie Nelson, Elvis Presley, Glenn Campbell, Ricky Nelson and, of course, Sleepy John Estes, who wrote it. Here's George Strait's version.
