Find out more about our original analysis of over 12,000 of Trump's statements on immigration, including the effects of repeating falsehoods: https://t.co/2wi457uzW3

Research shows the more times you hear a statement, the more likely you are to believe it.

We analyzed >12,000 of Trump’s immigration statements & found his most repeated claims, some of which he's made >500 times. All false. Here they are, fact-checked: https://t.co/2wi457uzW3

With @elonmusk destroying twitter in real time, We'll need an alternative platform to keep up with AI/ML/NLP. Mastodon looks great! I've gone with https://t.co/Les4dlx75N, which is catching on quickly with the AI folks. https://t.co/uZwX2XBhHn

THREAD: Our new analysis reveals 1 in 3 people held in a U.S. Border Patrol facility since 2017 was a minor — 650,000 youths.

Children speak of harsh, demeaning and sometimes dangerous treatment: “I was scared in there.”

UCLA Computer Science Professor Amit Sahai explains the same concept, Zero-Knowledge Proof, to a child, a teenager, a college student, a grad student, and an expert. 😯 https://t.co/yMzquQ81l4

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

In 2006, the U.S. Senate unanimously reauthorized the Voting Rights Act. But today, only one GOP senator supports it. And none have endorsed the Freedom to Vote Act. So unless we do something about the filibuster, we’re letting Mitch McConnell veto the sacred right to vote.

A year ago, I began trying to understand racial disparity in mortality. Unsurprisingly, it has many causes. But I didn't know that a 100-yr-old report meant to improve the health system also severely set back Black health, w effects still lingering today: https://t.co/aLu7hJrWTU
