1 in 3 people in state prisons have no hope of earning discretionary parole because their prison system has abolished it (virtually or completely). This is the legacy of tough-on-crime fearmongering. States have a lot of work to do to roll it back. prisonpolicy.org/reports/gradin…

Wow, I missed that @sapinker had posted a roundup of the reviews of "Enlightenment Now" and a response. It's worth a read. 1/ quillette.com/2019/01/14/enl…

A weird trap I’ve fallen into in college is that I’ve studied the history of prejudice way more than I have studied the history of the groups that are targeted by prejudice

An environment where conspiracy theories flourish feeds anti-Semitism because anti-Semitism is itself a conspiracy theory: one that claims Jews have too much power and are secretly in charge of our culture, the government and the world. bit.ly/2ziRAeU

Voters in Georgia: if you are one of the people who has been removed from the rolls (your status says “pending” on the SOS site), you can still vote if you bring your ID and the name matches. Media! Please include this in your stories and ensure your headlines are not misleading
