Redirecting
Sometimes good research just finally provides well-designed evidence for an assumption many hold: supply in sex work is driven by economic slumps.

(and, of course, see Bob Jones v. US). Many segregation academies and racially discriminatory schools only started admitting Black students once their tax exempt status was threatened by the IRS (and even then, enforcement was spotty at best) (www.oyez.org/cases/1982/8...)

This has happened before: as late as 1982, Goldsboro Christian School in North Carolina did not admit Black students because โWe believe that God in his plan and purpose and wisdom separated men into . . . races and that those races should be preservedโ (source: www.nytimes.com/1982/01/18/u...)

Segregation Academies in Mississippi Are Benefiting From Public Dollars, as They Did in the 1960s
ProPublica identified 20 schools in the state that likely opened as segregation academies and have received almost $10 million over the past six years from the stateโs tax credit donation program.
ProPublica identified 20 segregation academies in Mississippi that received almost $10 million over the course of six years through a state-funded program.
At least eight opened with an early boost from state-funded vouchers in the 1960s.

'Segregated facilities' are no longer explicitly banned in federal contracts
The Trump administration cut a clause from federal contracting rules that had been on the books since the 1960s: Companies are no longer explicitly prohibited from having segregated facilities.
Iโve been saying for years that allowing racial segregation in public accommodations was a goal of the right-wing conservative movement. Itโs one reason I study this type of segregation. We are closer to a reality of legal racial segregation than anytime since 1964. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

Don't cheer, Gov. Ivey: Killing the Department of Education will hurt Alabama students โข Alabama Reflector
Gov. Kay Ivey is a sure-footed politician. Sheโs walked the narrow and dangerous path of Alabama politics all the way to summit. It requires focus, dedication and balancing performative apathy and win...
Editor @brianlyman.bsky.social writes that the U.S. Department of Education is one of the few forces pushing against Alabama's centuries-old efforts to deny poor and disadvantaged children a proper education. And a reminder of the racist origins of the state's system of funding public schools.

It's such a weird thing to hear the news and think "that's bad, but also I have a paper about (an aspect) of that"
Funding delays are really not great for people who work in science. Funding delays of > 30 days lead to:
- 40% increase in scientists exiting US labor force
- 20% decrease in wages
