Find out more about our original analysis of over 12,000 of Trump's statements on immigration, including the effects of repeating falsehoods: themarshallproject.org/2024/…

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: themarshallproject.org/2024/…
So excited to join Systematically Improving RAG Applications's course. Looking for a few friends to join me! maven.com/s/ac127370ab
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 sigmoid.social, which is catching on quickly with the AI folks. sigmoid.social/web/@bobflagg

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.”

ALT A bar graph shows the number of minors held in detention and the number of minors held for longer than 72 hours compared to the total number of people detained. Text to the left reads "Detentions of young people by the Border Patrol, and overall detentions, dropped sharply at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic due in part to Title 42. Both have been rising again under Biden."
This looks like a great JAX resource!

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.
Today's a big linear algebra day: finally understand the proof of the Courant–Fischer Theorem thanks to Horn Johnson! #DataScience #Mathematics #Statistics #LinearAlgebra

Black Americans die younger than White Americans at almost every age. One in five African American deaths happens earlier than if they were White.

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: nytimes.com/2021/08/30/upsho…
