We find Texas is likely losing hundreds of millions of dollars in Medicaid funding in 2021 alone. A full count matters. Check out

What states stand to gain? The undercounted ones: most of all, Mississippi and Texas – according to @UrbanInstitute projections by @DianaBElliott. Official estimates of undercount by state come later this year. 3/

The PES is the official determination of how accurately the 2020 Census performed. And it seems to be in jeopardy…

SCOOP: A final round of door knocking for a key 2020 census follow-up survey is now set to last until early 2022, raising concerns about whether the Census Bureau can determine which groups were over- or undercounted in last year’s national head count npr.org/2021/10/08/104

ok it's time to talk about societal distrust in experts and institutions, the rise of misinformation, cultural polarization, and how to work toward some semblance of mutually agreed upon information before we splinter into irreconcilable realities (beefy thread incoming)

I met August Wilson by chance as a HS student
@ONeill_Center
. He approached a small group of us with interest in *our* work. It was just after Fences, he was famous, and we had no idea. He was so gracious about it all. This would be a great tribute to his talent and generosity.

The D.C. chancellor just proposed renaming Woodrow Wilson High School after August Wilson, the celebrated Black playwright. This comes after years of students and alumni calling on the city to remove Woodrow Wilson's name from the school. washingtonpost.com/local/educatio

This is so important. A good qualitative interviewer has to be a human being first. Sometimes things go unscripted. It’s OK. When people are dealing with stress and trauma, be there for them, listen, and have tissues ready.

5) IF you finally get that interview, continue to do the work to help your respondent feel affirmed and comfortable. This is emotion work. It is often hard. If people share stories of trauma, thank them for sharing their story. Show that you have heard AND seen them.

I live near the Capitol and attest to this. Make a step out of line and the Capitol Police are on it. It is shocking to those of us who live in the shadow of the Capitol that they weren’t a stronger presence. Let’s dispense with the charade of a strong defense, shall we?

it's really hard to explain to people who don't live here how incredibly jarring it was to see the events unfold yesterday, not just because the events themselves were shocking, but because it completely upends the entire psychic geography of this place

❗️BREAKING SCOTUS has announced it will take a wait-and-see approach to Trump’s proposal to manipulate the #2020Census results by excluding undocumented people. In short: Big gamble, wrong on the law, VERY bad policy. Unpacking this new development in the 🧵👇 @BrennanCenter

Photos with Santa will look a little different this year. Mall owners are going ahead with plans for Santa visits, but kids will need to talk to him from six feet away, and he might be behind a sheet of plexiglass. apne.ws/M8mcQK4
