Relying on Justice Kennedy to hold together the remnants of progressive reform was terrifying and often disappointing, but it's what we had. Now, with Kennedy gone and the contemporary GOP calling the shots, it will be 5-4...5-4...5-4...back to the wonderful Gilded Age of the 1890's, where Corporations were the feudal overlords and "Those People" knew their place. Roe vs. Wade, of course, is done. That's the first to go. For those invested in equality and economic justice and sustainable environments. It's soon going to be starting from scratch. Thanks for playing!

The data is clear. Undocumented immigrants are not bringing crime waves in their wake. They are not MS-13 animals. #immigrationreform

For my students who are future teachers. Which state do you want to set your classroom up in? #futureteachers

The Schott Foundation has graded each of the state's based on their commitment to public education. #publicschools

This is from a story in the New York Times. It echos what I predicted in my video on the subject at the Mad Sociologist in the News https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOGjqBjc158&index=6&t=0s&list=PLPbs9Hl_0uJhblYI4BOw6Ro4Lh9z-hw8N Question is, how do we deal with victims of state power without using our own state power to further the victimization?

The correlation between undocumented immigrants as a percentage of the population and violent crime is negative. In other words, the presence of undocumented immigrants reduces the probability of crime. The correlation is more dramatic for crime as a whole and property crime. #immigrationreform
