1) Check-out my latest piece for @washingtonpost on Bloomberg, the devastating effects of Stop-and-frisk, and the Democratic Primary

2) Stop-and-frisk is traumatizing and violent. Growing up in the Bronx, I felt the brunt of it. Traveling in New York felt like navigating a police occupation.

3) Mike Bloomberg is lying about #stopandfrisk and strategically apologizing for black votes after two-decades of advocating for the program. Voting for any candidate without a shown commitment to anti-racist policies is dangerous. washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/0…
4) Bloomberg also oversaw the NYPD’s unconstitutional surveillance of Muslim communities in New York and New Jersey, leading to at least 3 settled lawsuits. huffpost.com/entry/michael-…
5) Tweaks & reforms to policing won’t end police violence and abuse. There needs to be a complete overhaul in how we approach public safety that prioritizes investing directly into communities and divesting from policing & incarceration. washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/0…
6) To date, the only candidates that have committed to taking resources and power away from the criminal justice system are @BernieSanders and @ewarren washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/0…

#democratic primary: It's 12/1 and just over 2 months to the IA caucuses. So what the heck is going on in this primary that's being conducted in the middle of a constitutional crisis? Well, the bottom line is that young voters are steadier in their preferences than older voters.
Taking @surveyusa polling from Aug-Nov, we see that the 18-34 vote has barely moved for Warren (-1), Pete (+1), Biden (+2) and Harris (-1). For Bernie, there was a big drop of -10 from Aug to Sept, but has since stabilized at 35, highest of any candidate in that demo.
Among 35-49 voters, since Aug, Liz is +2, Pete (0), Bernie (-1), Joe (-5) and Harris (-4). Among 50-64 voters: Warren (+2), Pete (0), Bernie (-1), Biden (-4), Harris (-5). Among 65+: Warren (-13), Pete (+7), Bernie (+2), Joe (-4), Harris (-5).

Thread: US Declinists may be critical but Im sticking w/progressive foreign economic policy based on market power. Or my response to @dandrezner's response to my response to his great original piece. beta.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2019/0…
@dandrezner 2/Drezner is skeptical of @ewarren foreign economic policy for three key reasons and let me break them down.
@dandrezner @ewarren 3/First, he thinks it is a continuation of Trumpian protectionism and out of sync w/dem voter preferences. Here I think this uses a broad brush to cast aspersions where maybe they are not due.

Seit Jahren untersuche ich die US-Rechte: lese ihre Texte, analysiere polit. Entscheidungen, untersuche ihre Biographien - was man halt so macht. Ein Muster begegnet mir ständig: Die permanente Selbst-Viktimisierung, die im krassen Konstrast zur polit. und ökon. Macht steht. 1/
Eve Fairbanks beschreibt nun in einem exzellenten Artikel in der #WashingtonPost, wie weit diese spezifisch konservative Opfer-Rhetorik zurückreicht und wie sie im Antebellum South verwendet wurde, um Sklaverei zu verteidigen. washingtonpost.com/outlook/2019/0… 2/
Denn die Südstaatler sprachen nicht etwa von #slavery: "they anointed themselves the defenders of reason, free speech and civility." Als die wahren Verteidiger von Minderheitenrechten und Freiheit (der Sklavenhalter, wohlgemerkt.) 3/

Oh, man, @kilmeade is *so* close to getting it.

I'll see if I can help him understand why "that narrative flipped" in the 1960s.
First of all, yes, the Democratic Party *was* the party of slavery and segregation for most of the 19th century and the early 20th century. And yes, the Republican Party in Lincoln's era was the party of civil rights!

Welcome to 10th grade American History! You seem new here.
Those clear lines set down at the start of this "narrative" quickly became blurred.

Here's the Cliff Notes version of the story, if you've somehow never read it:

At @OSULawDEPC for the @DrugPolicyOrg @acluohio conference From Punishment to Public Health. I am going to tweet a lot about drug policy in the next two days. I know many people want to focus right now on the critical moment the nation is going through, feel free to mute me.
First speaker, opening keynote, is @SamuelKRoberts: “the War on Drugs has been fairly effective at what it was designed to do, which is to rationalize increasing inequality in health, education, labor, and opportunity in the post-1973 American economy.”
"This [the War on Drugs] was never about the drugs." @SamuelKRoberts drives home the point that the War on Drugs was backlash to the civil rights movement, anti-War movement, and an assault on poor people and people of color.
