11,000 ppl voted early at sites at colleges & universities in Texas's Tarrant County in 2018. Now state/county officials plan to not have those campus sites anymore in 2020.

amp.star-telegram.com/news/politics-…

Forget impeachment blowback. It's this stuff that can pave way for Trump 2020.
Tarrant County's recent history:

2012: Romney +96,000
2016: Trump +58,000
2018: Beto +4,000

A landlord threatened to call ICE on their tenant. And was just fined $17,000 for that.

Likely "the first case in the country where an individual was fined for threatening to call immigration authorities." wsj.com/articles/new-y…
If you've come to this tweet, may I also suggest other ways ICE's power gets countered — namely state legislation that make cooperation with ICE harder: appealpolitics.org/2019/illinois-…

& local elections for the public officials who make the choices to cooperate:
We live in a world where NYC can fine a landlord to threaten to call ICE, while the federal government empowers ICE agents to run around using "social media to capture targets by making fake accounts on online dating websites and arranging rendezvous."

California's legislature passed at least a dozen criminal justice reform bills just over the past few weeks, enough to make it hard to keep it all straight!

They include a ban on facial recognition, sentencing reform, expanded expungement. So here's a thread on some of them.
1. Legislature voted to ban private prisons & private immigration detention centers (currently have capacity to detain 4,500 immigrants). theguardian.com/us-news/2019/s…

(IL adopted similar measure this year: appealpolitics.org/2019/illinois-…)
2. Expunging past convictions provides huge benefits, but process is so complex few of those eligible apply. A new bill automates some of process, but only for post-2021 offenses. courthousenews.com/bill-to-help-s…

Until now, the only SEO space where AMP was kind of "mandatory" was on news: if you want to appear on the "Top stories" box, you kind of need to have your articles to use AMP. You can appear there withouth AMP, but you don't get the same visual benefits #AMP #SEO .
Now Google is bringing "Stories" (like Instagram Stories, Snapchat Stories, etc.) to search results. They just announced it at #ampconf (see ) #AMP #SEO
This means that for certain kind of queries (by now: travel, and later also gaming, movies, tv and fashion) the first result will get another "special box" called "Visual Stories" where you can only appear using not only AMP, but AMP stories #AMP #SEO
