Pediatricians say vaccines do not cause autism. A bear-eating heroin addict who fantasizes about sucking his own semen out of his lovers' orifices says they do. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

"That scare involved an unknown man falsely identifying himself as immigration enforcement and calling and threatening the cafe. He demanded information about Bennett’s employees [...] and said he was looking for 'Jose.' Bennett said she’s never employed anyone named Jose."
These business owners “were threatened for being immigrants. Now, this Utah restaurant is welcoming all for a free Thanksgiving meal.”

An Iranian professor on a visa was arrested for being Iranian at the airport, and detained for 3 days. Incredibly chilling to see this happening in my own country.
"An Iranian professor for the University of Oklahoma was released by [ICE] on Monday after spending three days in detention for what the agency has deemed 'standard questioning.'"
"It was a deeply distressing experience."

Pretty convincing evidence here that the Trump administration was planning to jailbreak and provide asylum for Bolsonaro -- and that Trump inadvertently revealed the plan.
And this, as the now-cliche goes, would have been a paralyzing scandal for any other administration.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

With every field, a major question we need to ask ourselves, at all times, is whether our forebearers were full of it, either intentionally or by accident. Because as we've seen with Zimbardo, Milgram, bystander effects, girls with ADHD, or anything on trans folks before 2010, they often were.
NEW: When Propecy Fails is one of the most famous social psychology books of all time, a look at a small group of UFO believers when the “spacemen” failed to land. I wrote about a new study from an independent researcher who says the book is not what it seems. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
It’s one of the most influential social psychology studies ever. Was it all a lie?
