y’all i’m not even saying don’t do the blackout, if you want to go ahead. but if that’s all you do, it’s performative. and on top of that, there are hella ways for EVERYONE to get involved in and outside the US. just reminding y’all that BLM ain’t some trend you can subscribe to.

A common pathology among experts in quantitative field is to assume that when they are dealing with problems with qualitative dimensions that they can simply model the quantitative part and ignore the squishy human factors. This does not end well. 1/

Ok here we go. Look at the electoral maps by county for the last few decades of US presidential elections.  You’ll notice that the South goes almost uniformly Republican red every time. Duh. But if you look closer, there’s something else there ...

A majority of people incarcerated pretrial in Illinois are in jail only because of the size of their bank accounts. That's not right! If you live in IL, tell your legislators we want #PretrialFairnessNow: bit.ly/PretrialFairne…
