Scholarly Publishers Are Happy to Give Stuff Away If Someone Pays Them buff.ly/35VNyHr
Here's a recap of how for-profit academic publishing works:

"RELX (Elsevier) has a market capitalization of about $50 billion, almost six times that of, just to name one example, Rupert Murdoch's News Corp"

A thread about why Germany did not invade Switzerland during World War 2.
The "heroic" explanation is that Switzerland was too tough: This 1942 article says that "Man for man, Switzerland probably has the second best army in Europe today,” The Swiss Army can be mobilized in half an hour” trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/arti…
There was for instance a strategy to withdraw in the mountains in a chain of fortresses and wage a guerilla war while abandoning the plains to the enemy spiegel.de/fotostrecke/sc…

Today is the 75th anniversary of the liberation of #Auschwitz, the most deadly camp run by the Nazis during the Holocaust. In this week's @TheEconomist, we used some remarkable datasets to depict the horrific scale of the murders committed there. (1/8) economist.com/graphic-detail…
The geographic range of people killed at Auschwitz is hard to comprehend. On the map below, we plotted the place of birth or residence of all Jewish victims identified by @yadvashem. They came from as far away as Finland and Morocco. Some were even born in South America. (2/8)
The dataset that @yadvashem has compiled is extraordinarily detailed. So far, the institution has collected the names of 4.8m Jewish Holocaust victims, from a total of 6m. You can read about each of them using the link below. (3/8) yvng.yadvashem.org

🔥DamningEvidence🔥

The House laid out a brilliant case against Trump—& the facts are compelling, overwhelming, & damning:

Trump solicited foreign interference to help him cheat in the next election.

He betrayed our NatSec for his own gain.

& then he tried to cover it up.
🔥Damning🔥

Convict Trump or ‘Write the History of Our Decline with Our Own Hand’

“Trump’s conduct is wrong. It is illegal. It is dangerous. & it captures the worst fears of our Founders and the Framers of our Con’n... This conduct is not 'America 1st,' it is Donald Trump 1st.”
🔥Damning3🔥

Schiff brilliantly crushes Trump defense

Rep. Adam Schiff did not come to play. On Wednesday, he laid out a strong case for why senators should vote to impeach & remove Trump from the presidency.

And on the first day, DEMs unleashed the flood of damning evidence.

#NEW We have matched up county-level preferences for music genres with 2016 election results and have found the👏 key👏 data 👏 that capture the cultural currents that made Obama supporters flip to Donald Trump:

liking hard rock music.

THREAD.

economist.com/graphic-detail…
The data we have (from @VividSeats) is truly incredible. In every county, we have a record of the share of concert/etc ticket sales that fall into each genre in 2015/19. Here's that map (with each county scaled for population). Cities like rap/hip hop. Rural areas like country.
The music genre that most correlates with Republican vote share is, as you might expect, country music. A preference for "New Age" music (whatever that is) and Rock are also "red". Rap, Hip Hop & R&B, as mentioned, are "blue" music—as is liking alternative artists or Latin music.

“If you forgive the fox for stealing your chicken, it will steal your sheep, and then your cow.” That seems to be Trump’s approach towards Erdogan. It’s precisely how not to deal with an authoritarian leader. Rewards cede respect, and beget worse behavior. washingtonpost.com/world/national…
15 quick questions Trump may want to ask Erdogan, but won’t:

1. How exactly was Baghdadi living in a safe house with well-prepared tunnels less than 5km from your border?

2. Why was Baghdadi’s number two found in Jarabulus, a small town on your border that you fully control?
3. When you demanded that the U.S. move the SDF 30km from your border, did you know Baghdadi was living with his family <5km from your border?

4. Why do the areas of Syria that you claim to control or influence so often become permissive havens for AQ and/or ISIS leaders?

Grave: Desmatamento na Amazônia em junho cresce quase 60% em relação ao mesmo período em 2018 oglobo.globo.com/sociedade/desm…
"Em junho, a Amazônia perdeu 762,3 km² de floresta, o equivalente a duas vezes a área de Belo Horizonte. É o pior registro do mês desde 2016. No acumulado dos últimos 180 dias, o quadro também inspira preocupações."
"No mesmo período, em junho de 2018, o desmatamento havia sido de 488,4 km². Na prática, a floresta perdeu duas cidades do porte de Paris a mais em comparação ao ano passado."

🚨MY MASTER THREAD of #Midterm2018 results analysis, including an array of data dives. Will the country chose to repudiate president Trump? Health care instead of the wall? RT & strap in, folks, tonight could be a wild ride. We get the first batch of results at around 6 PM ET.
20 minutes
Turnout has looked unprecedented for weeks now. Indications today that it could even beat these lofty expectations. At this point I think I’d buy for pickups in Tossup sub/urban seats like #TX07 #TX32 and #TX26, but sell in more rural districts that have looked like reaches.
