from the perspective of someone who might want to be president, the best time to run for the white house is now, not later. so if AOC is thinking about it — if the white house is her ambition — then her best bet is to throw her hat in the ring
You Know What? Maybe the Time Is Right for an AOC Presidential Bid
She’s only 36, and there’s a good argument that she should run for Senate and bide her time. But she also could be a formidable White House candidate.

Anyone currently involved in federal immigration enforcement, every officer, every bureaucrat, every lawyer, every judge, is a member of the most evil group of people this country has seen since Reconstruction. Darkness personified, every one. Doing this to children is beyond depraved.
On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.
The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.
But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

I don't like to talk about stories before they are fully reported, but I am writing on ICE in a Minnesota town that isn't Minneapolis. However bad you think it is, it is worse. It is a campaign of pure terror whose only strategic goal is more terror. There is no strategy other than to break people.

ICE and CBP agents seem to enjoy gratuitously breaking glass—from car windows to store fronts to homes. It’s an expression of unchecked power and dominance: “We’re in charge. We break and shatter what we want.”
And nights of broken glass have been a harbinger of worse to come.

Five years ago today, Donald Trump urged his supporters to attack Congress and the Capitol over a proven lie. More than 140 police officers were injured.
Trump then pardoned the attackers.
He betrayed his oath and his country, and we won't ever forget it.

I’ve learned a lot about race in my lifetime man, but this stands out the most. And I’ve seen it in nearly every dimension of life man, among some liberals too. People love black folks if they are charity cases but get weird AF if you get out of your place as a dependent.

Reminds me of Dad, who tried his best to make “Cole” catch on as the 13 y/o’s nickname and who came to this country when black & brown men’s paths to dignity, respect, and class were harrowingly narrow
Nat King Cole releases his 4th and most-famous recording of “The Christmas Song” today in 1961.
Years earlier, songwriters Mel Tormé and Bob Wells had taken it to Nat King Cole’s house.
“Play that again,” Cole said.
They did, but before they finished, Cole said, “Stop everything. That's my song.”

There is a growing problem of big name natural-science journals publishing social science that is "problematic".
This reflects a inability to accept the statistical standards and skills in social science are often much much higher than in many areas of the natural sciences.
(I'm a chemist btw).
