ANNOUNCEMENT:

Friends and followers, I'm very excited to announce the April 2019 release of my first book, DIGITAL CIVIL WAR: Confronting the Far-Right Menace.

THANK YOU for pre-ordering your copy and helping to spread the word!

#DigitalCivilWar
NEW BOOK -

After 20 years on the front lines of the fight, from my early blog and Democratic Underground days to our current #Resistance battles, I wanted to tell YOUR story, the digital warriors who have fought the Far Right's assault on our democracy. barnesandnoble.com/w/digital-civi…
NEW BOOK -

The political and media establishments have enabled right-wing extremists to dominate our political discourse. In DIGITAL CIVIL WAR, I cut through the online chaos to look at the underlying narratives and arguments at the heart of the fight. indiebound.org/book/978161219…
Honored to work with @melvillehouse on my new book!

THREAD (1/3): #BERNIE vs #BETO

The 2020 Dem primary is going to be intense one way or the other. The stakes are too high for it not to be. Heading into 2019, we'll see lots of early maneuvering and skirmishes. That's fine, AS LONG AS THEY ARE NOT CHARACTER ATTACKS.
THREAD (2/3): #BERNIE vs #BETO

A character attack directly impugns the honesty, integrity, and/or ethics of a candidate. Examples: Candidate X is a liar. Candidate Y is immoral. An issue debate is perfectly acceptable, i.e. Candidate Z is wrong on health care, the economy, etc.
THREAD (3/3): #BERNIE vs #BETO

Neither #BernieSanders nor #BetoORourke have announced if they are running. Supporters of each should feel free to battle out the issues, BUT AVOID CHARACTER ATTACKS. We cannot afford to give needless ammunition to the GOP.

I'm watching Trump, Pelosi, and Schumer bicker about the budget and the wall. This spectacle is beneath the dignity of this country.
Of course I agree with the Dem position, but the fact that we're here is just sad.
For anyone misconstruing my tweet, I'm agreeing with what Nancy Pelosi said: "I don’t think we should have a debate in front of the press on this." The fact that Trump got schooled is a good thing. But the reality is that none of us should want that kind of spectacle.

If you know anything about @DineshDSouza, you'll guess this is a profoundly stupid take. But just how stupid? Please, join me on a journey of discovery (of how dumb Dinesh is).
I won't really bother with the dumb troll about the Nazis' name except to say: The Nazis also called gassing people to death "Special Treatment." They were famous for naming things in ways that would confuse people. Apparently still works on Dinesh.
I'm more interested in FDR's supposed admiration for Mussolini. It's a claim I've also seen made by people on the left including Noam Chomsky. It's based largely on cordial letters, which is like assuming a political alliance because someone started a note, "Dear [so-and-so]."

Where do I begin?

Some disclaimers are in order.
1.) I disavow anyone who uses this thread to harass people.
2.) I'm aware that the subject matter I am going to talk about enters "conspiracy territory." I'll walk that fine line and do my best not to wander too far into that.
In fact, I'd like you to vote in this poll simply as an acknowledgement of the above.

It'd make me feel better.
In an earlier thread I simply asked if there was public interest in discussing the role of the banks in regards to the Patreon situation.

The results were significantly overwhelming in favor of that.

I'm operating under the impression that the same applies here. Again.

1} "Jeff, what will trumps ultimate undoing be, in your opinion?"

and

"Which hill will Donald die on?"

Good questions. My answer isn't pretty at all, but it's the truth.

#THREAD - a stream of unconsciousness...
2} Are you ready?

He won't.

Trump is NOT going down.
3} It's April 15th - Do you know where your tax money is?

In the pocket of a Nazi @POTUS and his disgusting family of swine.

I’m watching all of the @Marvel movies with @ThereseTheBeast, we are going in release order over the next 8 weeks leading up to #AvengersInfinityWar

Yesterday was Iron Man, we just started The Incredible Hulk now.

Updating this thread with thoughts and lists as we go #marvel
💭 Most shocking moment so far in the @Hulk 2008 is @LivTyler dating the dad from Modern Family.

Also as much as I like Edward Norton I’m just picturing @MarkRuffalo in my head and this movie is even better.
Putting @Hulk on pause to talk Iron Man.

1. I forgot how we used to talk about Marvel movies being “grounded” or “realistic” especially when it comes to color pallete and portrayal of characters or events.

The colors in Black Panther and Thor 3 have come a long way since 2008.

I'm very excited to announce the release of "The High Cost of Short-term Rentals in New York City", my team's new analysis of Airbnb's impact on NYC. The report is available here:

sharebetter.org/wp-content/upl…

Over the next few tweets I'm going to highlight the key findings.

1/
First, a word about methodology. Using some new techniques for spatial inference (which we'll be publishing in a data science journal), my team has produced what I think is the most rigorous, accurate, comprehensive spatial analysis of short-term rentals to date.

2/
We'll also shortly be releasing our tools as open-source code for other researchers to make use of, to help raise the bar for this kind of research.
