An interactive visualization of killings by police over time, categorized by race and armed/unarmed status. Includes filters for race, year, state, armed status, and encounter type. Feedback welcome. #datavis public.tableau.com/views/PoliceKi…

Interesting tidbit: an oft-repeated claim is that cops kill people at ordinary traffic stops. Digging into the data, it's quite apparent that more often than not the person killed was armed.

What the vis shows:

* How many lethal police interactions there are per year
* The likelihood that an unarmed person will be killed for membership in a race

What it doesn't show:

* How many non-lethal police interactions there are
* Racial bias in non-lethal interactions

Judd has been putting a lot of work into exposing corporate political contributions, especially to candidates who behaved undemocratically. Thing is, it's the employees, not the corporations, that are making those donations.
According to the Federal Election Commission, contributions to political candidates from corporations are prohibited. fec.gov/help-candidate… Image

One of the most insidious forms of anti-racist race hustling in the modern era is the concept of “white tears”. And nothing embodies this racecraft like this article by @DamonYoungVSB, the same author of the recent gem, “Whiteness is a Pandemic”. verysmartbrothas.theroot.com/white-tears-ex…
I first heard the term “white tears” when the moderator of a company-wide seminar in the wake of George Floyd’s death asked white female employees not to shed tears, even in empathy. My jaw dropped. (I realized later that this was taken from Robin DiAngelo’s “White Fragility”.) Image
Superficially, this is not only racist but misogynistic as well. More deeply, though, this imbues anti-racist hucksterism with a mystical quality. It’s no coincidence that “racecraft” sounds like “witchcraft”.
