    Last time a primary challenger won in what's now was 1942, when the legendary James Michael Curley beat Tom Eliot, who drafted most of the Social Security Act.

    Ted Williams used his Hall-of-Fame speech to force HOF to induct Negro League greats who never shared his privilege. Was his greatest moment. Also, an example for white NFL players to use their leverage to end ban on Colin Kaepernick & Eric Reid. Only crickets.

    Today In 1966: Boston legend Ted Williams is inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. During his speech he makes a strong appeal for the inclusion of Negro League stars Satchel Paige & Josh Gibson!

    And even with the best of intentions, stumping on law-and-order has a tendency to undermine the same. Because such rhetoric inevitably spotlights the speaker rather than the collective enterprise. 2/2

    It's not an accident that hard-line law-and-order politicians are prone to criminal behavior. It's because they mean, "Law - as I declare it. Order - under my rule." 1/2

    Burn.

    This is important. But imagine if this level of attention was cast on the Texas criminal justice system instead, which churns Black and brown people through on oft-weak evidence with 10+ year prison sentences at the end for some not-that-bad crimes?

    These impulsive ego-boost tweets are a dead show with very few people watching - too predictable!

    Wow, is blowing away the competition in the morning ratings. Morning Joe is a dead show with very few people watching and sadly, Fake News CNN is also doing poorly. Too much hate and inaccurately reported stories - too predictable!

    Hey all -- Jacob Kaplan is a grad student at Penn and is new to twitter (). He created (and just updated) a pretty amazing website with agency-specific crime & clearance data from 1960 to 2016. It's truly remarkable so check it out!

    What Europe hasn't tried earnestly is a party that is honest about the challenges/tensions involved in immigration, but not anti-immigrant. You know, nuance. It might peel off some of the extremist vote, and the rest can't be won anyway. See

    An interesting data point to add here: Approval ratings have plummeted in Germany for Horst Seehofer, the conservatives' immigration hardliner.

    The proper response to this is for every journalist in the room to walk out.

    At a joint press conference with Theresa May, Trump cuts off a question from CNN's , calling the network "fake news," and stating that he doesn't take questions from CNN. He then called on a reporter from Fox, which he described as "a real network."

    Thread. The left commits a strategic error when it cedes "originalism" to conservatives.

    An originalist interpretation of the 15th amendment would move voting rights jurisprudence substantially to the left.

    Many conservatives are treating immigration enforcement like they used to treat criminal justice: since these bureaucrats are on the right team, they can't possibly be incompetent or mismanaged, and more resources will surely mean better performance, defined by myopic "counts."

    If it wasn't about a law enforcement agency, this would be used by conservatives for decades to come as a classic study in bureaucratic incompetence. Which it is.

    Big point for Jill Leovy in Ghettoside. Solved cases ARE preventive policing.

    It's time for Baltimore PD to treat shootings as failed murders. BPD citywide shootings unit is understaffed - it should have all the resources that Homicide has. I believe work has shown that murders & shootings must be viewed as one problem
