UPDATE: On July 24, @RepPressley asked if @uscensusbureau Director Steven Dillingham could confirm that citizenship data collected pursuant to President Trump's recent executive order will not be used in the bureau's apportionment count. Today, bureau replied, per @LinaFuego👇
@RepPressley @uscensusbureau @LinaFuego 2. Here's video of the exchange between @RepPressley & @uscensusbureau's Steven Dillingham during July 24 House @OversightDems subcommittee hearing -- when Dillingham agreed to provide a written response within 10 days (it's been 16 days since hearing)👇
@RepPressley @uscensusbureau @LinaFuego @OversightDems 3. The "ongoing litigation" is this lawsuit filed by Alabama, which is challenging inclusion of unauthorized immigrants among “whole number of persons” from #2020Census used to divide up congressional seats, Electoral College votes among states👇

SCOOP: @uscensusbureau is removing a #CitizenshipQuestion it was planning to include on #2020Census for American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands & US Virgin Islands -- U.S. territories that use a different form than one used in states & Puerto Rico👇

@uscensusbureau 2. After this story was published, the Census Bureau revealed that it is removing the #CitizenshipQuestion it was originally planning to include on next year's island-area census forms (I've deleted earlier tweet that said those forms include the Q)👇
npr.org/2019/08/09/743…
@uscensusbureau 3. Asked why change was made, @uscensusbureau said: "No citizenship question is to be included on the 2020 Census, this includes the Island Area censuses too." More from bureau on no #CitizenshipQuestion for American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands & US Virgin Islands👇

THREAD: You won't see a #CitizenshipQuestion on the #2020Census, but there are *other* @uscensusbureau forms that ask whether a person is a U.S. citizen. That’s caused a lot of confusion. Let me walk you through some of those other citizenship questions👇
npr.org/2019/08/09/743…
2. These surveys predate Trump admin’s failed attempt to add a #CitizenshipQuestion to the U.S. census, which, by the way, has never *directly* asked for the U.S. citizenship status of every person living in every household in the country👇
npr.org/2019/05/22/719…
3. Unlike the census, these @uscensusbureau surveys collect responses to a citizenship question from a *sample* of households & don’t impact how congressional seats & Electoral College votes are divided up among the states.

#Thread #Misinformation
On requests from colleagues, I'm sharing details reg the #SatyamevaJayate training program which taught to more than 80K kids in #Kannur how to detect, verify & respond to misinformation online.

Link to the full ppt shared at the end of this thread.
1
The first two slides emphasise the centrality of truth and the pursuit of truth in our National and Constitutional discourse
2
#FakeNews is defined in the next slide, with reference to the role we all play, unwittingly or deliberately, in its dissemination. Our role could be active or passive.

Even our silence is an act that aids the spread of #misinformation

[THREAD] So, you ask, what do today’s #CitizenshipQuestion and #Gerrymandering decisions mean?
In the CQ case, Roberts *did* find the Voting Rights Act justification for adding the question to be pretextual. But he also wrote that Commerce’s decision to add it was supported by evidence, and was not arbitrary and capricious under the APA.
In a ‘help me help you’ moment, it seems Roberts purposely left the door open for the Trump Admin. to allow him to let the question be added. When it is, it will be challenged, and we will undoubtedly do much of this over again.

@IranWonk
Excited to share my first piece in 18 months and in @ForeignPolicy, co-authored w/ Simon Miles, an assistant professor @DukeSanford, completing a book on US-Soviet relations during the early 1980s based on new Eastern bloc archival sources. 1/ foreignpolicy.com/2018/10/30/wha…
Context: @mike_giglio had an excellent piece last month on how the #Trump admin may be executing a strategy of "maximum pressure" against #Iran, partly inspired by the book "Victory" & its claim that Reagan used this strategy to defeat the Soviet Union. 2/ buzzfeednews.com/article/mikegi…
There's only one problem: "Victory" is not good history, to put it politely. The most basic critique is that the author didn't have access to US & Soviet archives when the book was published in 1994. You can find much harsher academic critiques online. 3/ amazon.com/dp/0871136333/…
