Really enjoyed chatting with @geedee215.bsky.social about how crime is often used as a justification for many of the Trump administration's policies, including the ICE operation here in Minnesota, despite the fact that crime nationwide is at a historic low.

Yeah, code switch really is one of my go-to shows these days. Here's @geedee215.bsky.social and @equalityalec.bsky.social talking about how and on whom copaganda works; & I gotta say some of this was surprising, even in light of the part we been trying to highlight for years.
…respectfully, you clearly ain’t listen to the episode, champ.
I spoke with @geedee215.bsky.social for an @npr.org Code Switch episode about antisemitism
Yeah I guess LeBron putting up a 22.6 PER is pretty special, but it's not that impressive when you compare him to people rolling out of bed and firing off something like this at age 86.
This is so deeply stupid.
Dumb.
This is going to take me a bit to get over. I continue to have zero faith in this ever becoming a serious club.
Ah, the transfer window slop is upon us once more
Some of y’all noticed I’ve been uncharacteristically offline. This is why, and I remain on leave for a few weeks to handle a PTSD relapse. CJR was dogged in its pursuit of my story. Because of what I do and who I am, I felt that I had to answer their questions honestly.

Actually, the best case scenario is that Postecoglou ends the wait for the trophy, and then stays, and then delivers more trophies.
The only way out is through. The only way through is together.
This is a very compassionate look at how local residents in suburban Detroit are trying, slowly and haltingly, to talk honestly with each other about the stakes.
Kudos @geedee215.bsky.social

Please listen to this conversation btwn @geedee215.bsky.social & @atdeyrupmdphd.bsky.social on the ways that debunked "race science" persists through medicine, from training to practice.
And then remember that these same tests, interactions, treatment regimens become training data for medical "AI."
This week marks the 40th anniversary of the time Philadelphia dropped a bomb on a middle-class Black neighborhood and killed 11 people.
We talked to two people whose lives were forever shaped by the day.

40 years ago, Philadelphia police bombed this Black neighborhood on live TV

What, exactly, did they think Palantir did when they got hired? It’s not Meta, you can’t really plausibly claim that you bumbled into a situation you did not anticipate a decade ago because of the company’s veneer of positivity…
Only threes players have recorded a 40-point, 20-rebound game over the last 25 postseasons:
Shaquille O'Neal in 2000 & 2001
Giannis Antetokounmpo in 2022
Nikola Jokic tonight
That was an incredible finish. Shouts to the Nuggets.
Me and my wife almost woke up the pre-schooler from yelling.
Bruhhhhhhh
Your Spurs to take on the Hammers 💪
I have a lot to say about the resurgent young men / masculinity discourse but for now will confine myself to:
I wish I knew how to convince teenage boys/young men is how little of the world actually requires or even invites the hypermisogynist "tough guy" aesthetic
He was 😤 today
I MISSED DEKI SO MUCH #coys

wanted to see Richy and Dom play up top all year. That gives us a lot of pressing — especially against two backup Norwegian league CBs.

Remarkable from WaPo poll: Trump sinking fast on immigration among independents.
56% disapprove of handling of issue
62% oppose removing foreign students
52% oppose renditions to El Salvador
Only 21% want Abrego Garcia left there
Engage, Dems.
New piece from me:

one of the many things missed by the people who complain about “woke” for a living is that the spread of wokeness is as much of a function of demand as supply
The "Jackie Robinson Day background" section of MLB's official press release about Jackie Robinson just notes that he was a first baseman for the Brooklyn Dodgers who debuted in 1947. Nothing about the how, the why.
"While families struggle to afford tuition and day cares struggle to retain their low-paid and overworked staff, CEOs of these [private equity] companies are, of course, cleaning up: the KinderCare CEO made $2 million last year."
