Talking about atavism and physical stigmata in labeling criminals in my criminology class next week. What better way to bring my ancestors into the mix as an example than my great-great grandfather’s prison intake form?!

Phenomenal workshop on Global Mental Health and Trauma through the Harvard/MGH Program in Refugee Trauma and Harvard Medical School this week!

@djrothkopf.bsky.social @thedsrnetwork.bsky.social instead of responding to ‘how are you’ the same way we have been, it’s time to use the reliable Midwest “living the dream”

Important episode of Deep State Radio with David Rothkopf, Norm Ornstein & the inimitable Laurie Garrett. Laurie's explanation of the cancerous effects of the 9/11 tragedy is succinct & eye opening for the lay person @djrothkopf.bsky.social @normornstein.bsky.social @lauriegarrett.bsky.social

POV: criminology students watching me talk the US crime drop…then Covid…then post-covid crime. OMG don’t forget the age crime curve!!

This hits harder than when I saw this movie the first time. #CaptainAmerica

Astounding bravery on the part of the women and a very well-done and spartanly told story. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Hi, I worked at USAID. 👋 Airdrops are universally acknowledged as probably the worst and least efficient way to get aid to people. You airdrop when you a) want to want to so something but can’t, or b) you don’t want to do anything but want to look like you are.

📢 New publication alert! For those studying policing in times of crisis (war, pandemics, IPV): 🔹 Crisis exposure = less trust in police 🔹 IPV = independently lowers trust 🔹 Combined? Even worse 🔹 Trauma-informed policing is essential. DM for a copy! journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

There is still time to register!!

Note this well.

What a phenomenal week in Washington D.C. as part of the @bridgingthegap.bsky.social International Policy Summer Institute (IPSI) fellowship! Such an amazing and rewarding experience with brilliant people!

Good morning, world! A new journal article is it for publication. Special thanks to @dawnbeichnerthomas, Rosemary Barberet and Sheetal Ranjan for inviting me to contribute to their special issue on “Feminist Approaches to Justice: Contributions to CSW68”

Which @thedsrnetwork.bsky.social nerd is excited to meet @kschake.bsky.social at this year’s Bridging the Gap- IPSI workshop?

Heads up #Criminology, #Sociology, and #Law folks. The Annual Roger Head Lecture. 8th May, 17.00-18.30. In person. Given announcements on #BorderPolicing, punitive logics of publishing data on 'foreign national' prisons, and the rising of ethno-nationalism once more this is important

Third year review is in the books ✅ and there is a whole lot of gratitude in my heart for all the people supporting me and cheering me on. Tonight we rest with chicken wings and trash TV. As Kramer once said, “here’s to feeling good all the time.”

Too bad Uvalde Elementary didn’t sell Teslas.

My daughter's daycare just sent out an email about potentially needing to layoff staff because new babies about to start withdrew because of parental job losses. So if you're wondering how government layoffs and mass contract cancellations will affect the economy, here's an example

Federal marshals forced entry into the US African Development Foundation and escorted Musk staffers inside, after agency employees resisted their entry. Once inside, they changed the federal agency’s locks. Musk staffers were seen plugging in an external hard drive and going through everything.

Supporting Ukraine in a path toward stable peace, not extorting them for mineral rights and demanding gratitude, is the way to end the health catastrophe caused by war. now.tufts.edu/2022/05/12/p...

We’re in this mess in large part bc the average American is uninformed about fundamentals of civics, history, basic biology, economics, etc, and media and the internet are not meeting the moment. Is anyone organizing teach-ins or similar for the general public, whether irl or online?

Now imagine how T and JD talk to their wives and kids…

we are so unbelievably deep into lavender scare territory, and we got there SO FAST

I have solved Bird Flu. Give the chickens ivermectin. Have the chickens practice Earthing. The problem with their immune systems is they are not touching the soil enough. Coffee enemas for all chickens. Also we must stop reading them Ibram X. Kendi. Eggs will be back and most importantly not gay.

💣 BE WARY OF PARAMILITARIES When the men with guns who have always claimed to be against the system start wearing uniforms and marching with torches and pictures of a leader, the end is nigh. When the pro-leader paramilitary and the official police and military intermingle, the end has come.

Marco Rubio thinks free speech had no role in the Holocaust, but the Nazi's perverted Germany's free speech protections into the Right to Lie. Those lies radicalized Germans so much they enslaved Europe & tried to exterminate the Jewish race. Just like Trump/MAGA/Elon are doing right now.
