Study after study has proven that undocumented immigrants commit crimes at lower rates than U.S. citizens.

Statistically speaking, you're measurably safer living in a town filled with average undocumented immigrants than a town filled with average native-born citizens. https://twitter.com/chiproytx/status/1653080219782201345

“261000 illegal immigrants have committed some 430000 crimes including 800 homicides, 800 kidnappings, & 5000 assaults in last decade in Texas… and our border has never been more exposed & dangerous. #EndBorderCrisis”

For most of history, almost all human beings lived in non-democratic settings. Most electoral democracies - with meaningful, free, fair and multiparty elections, are quite young.

Only 10 are over 90 years old - all others, people who are a live today remember a time before. https://twitter.com/DinaPomeranz/status/1648594951997890561

“How many countries in the world have had electoral democracies -- i.e. free and fair multi-party elections -- for over 90 years? (I will post the answer tomorrow, please don't spoil it for others by revealing the answer in the replies.)”

Proud to take part with such a great group. Thanks Jan for pulling it together, and to Jiří for being a leader in the debate. An earlier version of my chapter, "The Constitutional Imaginary and the Metabolic Realities of European Integration," is here: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3769055

It’s pretty much indisputable that Cornell has the most beautiful campus of any Ivy League school—and quite possibly the most beautiful campus in the US period…

And here is my version of the rising partisan voting.

Literally zero correlation in 1978. In 2020 it was .94. And this isn't "just now" or "just since 2016" It is a long, continuous growth of the relationship.

Jan. 16: Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders declares that the “meddling hand” of the federal government “will be stopped cold at the Mississippi River.”
April 1: After tornadoes rake the state, Sanders has her deputy chief of staff announce that she’s requesting federal aid.

A painfully depressing thread

NEW: I’m not sure people fully appreciate how dire the US life expectancy / mortality situation has got.

And some utterly damning charts.

1) at *every* point on the income distribution, Americans live shorter lives than the English.
