When a judge stops the president from doing something illegal, that’s not a “threat to democracy,” that’s a check on the president’s power. That's the whole damn point.

The CDC website has restored the YRBSS info for the time being. Download now if you need it! There is a "warning" about how it isn't endorsed by the administration, but whatever. 🙄

A point to consider.

If needed, I downloaded the following data today:

-Monitoring the Future data (most current)
-Some Census data - estimates from 2023 and 2024
-School Survey on Crime and Safety (SSOCS) data (all available)

I still have CRDC data (some links aren't working now) and UCR data.

Here is the website for open data from all government agencies: data.gov.

Download as much as possible! I'm going to start on the juvenile justice data tonight.

Darren Beattie, Trump’s new acting Under Secretary for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs, once posted, “Competent white men must be in charge if you want things to work.” Beattie also posted I need to “learn” my “place” and “take a knee to MAGA.” 1/2
