America's mass incarceration problem in 5 charts – or, why Sessions shouldn't bring back mandatory minimums

Attorney General Jeff Sessions is pushing for stricter sentencing in criminal cases. AP Photo/Frank Franklin II Today, the United States is a world leader in incarceration, but this has not always been the case.

However, starting in 1972, our incarceration rate began to increase steadily. By 2008, we reached a peak rate of 760 incarcerated persons per 100,000 residents. The increase in incarceration cannot be explained by a rise in crime, as crime rates fluc... more »

Can Randy Hultgren Be Defeated In 2018? Not If The DCCC Inserts Another "Ex"-Republican As The Nominee
When the DCCC announced that IL-14 (Randy Hultgren) was on their target list there was a lot of snickering. For Chicagoland, it's a pretty Republican suburban district (primarily McHenry, Kane, Lake, Will and Kendall counties with a bit of DeKalb and a bit of DuPage). The PVI is R+5 and, although Obama edged past McCain in 2008 (50-49%), Romney won in 2012 (54-44%) and Señor Trumpanzee beat Hillary 48.7% to 44.8%. Hillary was the wrong candidate for much of the district and, in fact, Bernie beat her in the primary with a strong 58%. The GOP incumbent, Hultgren, is a hapless backbe... more »
Authoring a Paper in Public, the Next Level in Open Science Communication, Oh and a Theory of Everything.
Open science communication is not a new idea but the idea of doing the composition of a paper on a cloud based, search indexed, public platform where anyone can see how the sausage is made is. Authorea is just such a platform and I am using it to put the finishing touches on a paper dealing with a true theory of everything (a field of study littered with corpses so suffice it to say I may well be wrong *like everyone else who has tried*.) the main topic of this blog is to be the act of publishing on Authorea or a similar platform vs traditional LaTeX editing. *Authoring with Auth... more »
Trudeau invites pope to Canada for Church apology to indigenous peoples
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Monday urged Pope Francis to visit Canada to apologise to indigenous peoples for the Catholic Church's treatment of aboriginal children in schools it ran there. Starting in the late 19th century, about 30 percent of children of Canada's native peoples, or about 150,000 children, were placed in what were known as "residential schools" in a government attempt to strip them of their traditional cultures and ancestral languages. For over a century, the schools were government-funded but many were administered by Christian Churches, the majority... more »
Memorial Day: The Best Way to Honor Soldiers Is to Abide By the Constitution
[image: memorial-day-the-best-way-to-honor-soldiers-is-to-abide-by-the-constitution] This Memorial Day, as Americans remember those soldiers who have offered the greatest sacrifice in service of their country, one is reminded of the words of Jesus: “Greater love than this no man hath, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” Those soldiers who have died or been wounded — and those who are willing to — deserve the honor and respect of all Americans.

Nothing But Praise From The Western Media For German Chancellor Merkel On Her Condemnation Of President Trump
*Simon Shuster, Time*: *Angela Merkel Stopped Relying on President Trump Only After Failing to Reason With Him* The Germans did what they could. Starting well before Inauguration Day, they tried to get on friendly terms with President Donald Trump, at least friendly enough not to squander a bond that took more than half a century for their nations to build. The effort was commendable, in part because of the patience it required of German Chancellor Angela Merkel. But it didn’t do much good in the end. Trump wouldn’t budge. The contempt he expressed for Merkel, Germany and the Eur... more »

Jared Kushner has a new defender on Twitter, Julian Assange. Wait, what?
Kushner correct to create channels with everyone. CIA has no authority over leadership and is financially motivated to increase conflict. — Julian Assange (@JulianAssange) May 28, 2017 Okay so to be clear Kushner is now getting support from the guy who has been named by American intelligence agencies as the guy utilized by the Russians to spread hacked data and propaganda to help Donald Trump win the 2016 election. Anybody else find this highly suspicious? After all why would Assange give two shits about freaking Jared Kushner? Well perhaps because they were both on the front line... more »

A Modest Proposal
Via Twitter, I've been watching (yes watching) quite a few snatches of LBC. It's a fascinating channel, with presenters ranging from Nigel Farage and Iain Dale on the Right to Maajid Nawaz and James O'Brien on the Left (though no Katie Hopkins any more of course). You know their views, and they aren't afraid to express them, but they also like engaging with listeners who disagree with them. It's open and healthy and democratic, and it feels like breath of fresh air in comparison to, say, BBC Radio 4 or Radio 5 Live. Because of the range of views at LBC, and the undisguised nature o... more »

Andrew Scheer, former and worst-ever Speaker of the House, has won the Conservative Party leadership. But as several people have pointed out, Michael Harris among them, Scheer has a BIG debt to pay. To social conservatives, aka, anti-choice, anti-gay, anti-trans, anti-assisted dying, anti-comprehensive sex-ed dinosaurs. These social conservatives worked their hearts out for Stephen Harper for ten years. In return, they got nothing but strategic tokenism. The passion they invest in their cause never gave Harper so much as a palpitation — but it did lead him to calculate that he coul... more »

Some Memorial Day music, by Roger Sessions (1971), to Whitman's poem: And I saw askant the armies, I saw as in noiseless dreams hundreds of battle-flags, Borne through the smoke of the battles and pierc’d with missiles I saw them, And carried hither and yon through the smoke, and torn and bloody, And at last but a few shreds left on the staffs, (and all in silence,) And the staffs all splinter’d and broken. I saw battle-corpses, myriads of them, And the white skeletons of young men, I saw them, I saw the debris and debris of all the slain soldiers of the war, But I saw they ... more »

I took the Ducati (She-Devil) out for a spin today on the highway, had breakfast at a road house overlooking a spectacular scene and started thinking about everything that was going on around us while I sat there eating over-medium eggs and a split English muffin.
