Virginians could vote on four referendums this year. One would authorize mid-decade redistricting, though a local judge blocked it earlier this week, pending appeal.
The other three would expand voting rights restoration, repeal a ban on gay marriage, and codify abortion rights.

Voters will decide this year whether to end Virginia’s uniquely harsh felony disenfranchisement rules. They'll also vote on abortion, gay marriage, and redistricting.

The term “law enforcement” should not be used by media, except perhaps in quotations. It has sadly become an Orwellian term that is used to magically sanctify violence. Language matters. Be specific. Describe individuals with names and ranks. Say exactly what they did. Don’t repeat fascist hocum.

The leader of the federal panel that recommends vaccines for Americans said shots against polio and measles — and perhaps all diseases — should be optional.

This is 100% FALSE. Immigration judges do NOT play any role in issuing administrative warrants. They are generated and signed by ICE officers themselves. ICE’s own training materials say they can’t be used for a search of a home!
Here’s a blank warrant form. Note who signs it.

I met an absolutely lovely academic who asked whether my department back home is affected by ICE -- a question dramatizing how little info is getting out.
For the record, the small example I chose:
My dept has a carpool to pick up grad students of color who can't safely commute to campus alone.

Well, this is really something. A majority of *working class whites* disapprove of ICE, per new NYT poll.
Dovetails with the unpublished data that I got from Quinnipiac finding similar on working class more broadly (see below).

Quinnipiac gave me unpublished data from new poll and it finds huge, huge, huge percentages of young and working class voters have seen video of Minneapolis shooting.
Majorities of both disapprove of ICE. Pundits are getting the working class/immigration wrong:

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention.
The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

Opinion | I'm a Minneapolis sociologist who studies violence. Here's how ICE observers are helping.
Research into how violence occurs shows that disapproval from the people around you can help reduce it.

The CDC places Illinois in "Very High" transmission, especially in Chicago.
We estimate that 1 in 17 residents statewide are actively infectious. If people are not testing or isolating, there is a 78% chance of exposure in a room of 25 people.

I just want to remind everyone that Republicans polled no one when getting rid of USAID or the Department of Education both of which had been around scores longer than ICE.
Wow — New YouGov / Economist poll:
46% support abolishing ICE
43% oppose abolishing ICE
This is the first time that abolishing ICE has received net positive support
