Question for people old enough to remember the 20th century:

Academic question about all these numbers: when you say “declined by X percent” does that mean as a proportion of the population, or in straight numbers?

I wouldn’t want to let Stephen Miller off the hook for anything, but ICE was super racist way before he came around.

Okay but this is how Fox News is covering things:

Dear All Journalists,

I will watch Billy Porter do anything. Although this particular costume didn’t really live up to his usual flair.

I’m so utterly shocked and appalled by the number of people that voted for Bloomberg.  As if having an even richer more entitled specify brute would be an improvement?

I enthusiastically voted for Warren by mail already, because she is so obviously the best candidate for the job, by a lot.

Except that Trump has enabled and empowered serious and aggressive white nationalists to pursue a full-throated agenda of ethnic cleansing, that he has put the entire federal government in service of.

Enthusiastically mailed in my ballot for Elizabeth Warren yesterday.  She is obviously the best candidate for the job.

Enthusiastically voted for Warren yesterday in my mail-in ballot. I agree she has fallen out of the news for reasons I don’t understand. She would obviously make the best president of anyone running, which is a great reason to vote for someone.

People should stop talking about Castro for VP, who cares about VP? I want him for head of DHS. Or Attorney General.

Enough of this Castro VP nonsense. Make him AG or head of DHS.

As an immigration lawyer, I just can’t even begin to process what this means, coming from this administration...

I was so worried that this administration’s DOJ would only file lawsuits in cases of alleged discrimination against white people.  But here it is all old fashioned and normal...

Allow me to help. This is one many similar models of toilets they sell to prisons:

Having a private investigator look into your case is a standard part of criminal defense. It’s not shady, it’s not even news, and it’s something even Harvey Weinstein is absolutely entitled to. Every defendant should be so lucky to have resources and help to gather facts in their defense.

The ad copy excerpts are wonderful.

I have really enjoyed a lot of Chimamanda Adichie’s stuff but I didn’t like Americanah as much as others. The exploration of experiencing blackness in America was good but ultimately I felt like the two main characters were so selfish in their relationships that they lost a lot of my sympathy.  Anyway, that doesn’t…

Nonetheless I praise whatever forces of gentrification/globalization that brought quinoa into my life.
