3. ICYMI, my pre-publication research on the outcomes of deadly repression in Bolivia since 1982 shows that fighting back did not diminish a movement's chances of success. @CarwilBJ/1534583221760966657

4. In ten months of 2003, Bolivian security forces killed a total of 101 Bolivians during protest campaigns. Yet, ended up conceding the protester's demands in every major conflict. When and how does deadly repression fail? I studied 48 episodes of deadly conflict to find out. 🧵

9. Kate Manne's chilling narration of Andrew Puzder's demands upon his abused ex-wife speaks exactly to what male dominance demands of women who suffered abuse: public agreement that the abuse never occurred. @kate_manne/1532321215272169473

12. Canceling $50,000 of student debt would offer a $17,366 boost to the average Black person in the LOWEST 10% of wealth. And net people in the top 30% of wealth $562–$1,508 (averaged for their 10% bracket). To #CancelStudentDebtNow is a hugely progressive policy.

14. Canada abandons life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. Abolitionist arguments aside, very long sentences presume that people remain unchanged by 30 years of time, something few of us should believe. @helenprejean/1531428305835962368

16. The supermarket and elementary school killings this month would be historic massacres if they occurred in many countries, including Bolivia where pivotal mass killings in 1988, 2008, and 2019 all had fewer victims than the Uvalde shooting. @ABilbaoLaVieja/1529409882084061187

17. A chronological overview of deaths in Bolivian political conflict by domain of protest. Deadliest conflicts have been on coca, gas privatization, partisan politics (including 2006-9, 2019 crises), rural land (including Laymi/Qaqachaka conflict). #UltimateConsequences #rstats

18. This month's mass shooters should be a giant alert encouraging us to teach all high school students about undoing racism and toxic masculinity, but the first curriculum is under attack and the second barely exists at all.

19. For the past generation the same Supreme Court faction that insists there is no right to privacy implicit in constitutional protections against “search and seizure," no right to women's bodily autonomy in "equal justice under law" has been dismantling the power to regulate guns…

26. Look, I understand more than most how emotionally invested people get in collective action. But it would reaffirm my faith in humanity if some of the pitita movement could express horror that the government they made possible on Sunday was massacring civilians by Friday.

32. If you believed that Russia invaded Ukraine to stop NATO expansion, avoid a longer land border w/ NATO, or keep NATO nukes further from Moscow, this makes zero sense. Time for more on the left to acknowledge Russian imperialism, sense of ownership over Ukraine. @Reuters/1526501621957644291
