I worked a case in the field today. I’m a supervisor, so I rarely work cases in the field. This was a case no one had been able to crack. The respondent sicced a dog on me. Sort of. While I hung around the building looking for clues, the door to the unit in question slowly opened and a dog charged out. There was a gate between the dog and me, and let’s say the dog lost its enthusiasm for the job quite quickly. I didn’t flinch. Eventually the resident came out and spoke to me briefly. So a partial completion, including the most important part: how many people lived there on April 1. #Census2020
My team of enumerators, whose work in the field I oversee from the comfort of my home, was amused.

I’ll be able to tell these stories better and more fully once this thing is over.

A sampling of the delight and disgust you can find @BeachwoodReport.
This week, we’ve had the president refusing to commit to a peaceful transfer of power, the president celebrating state violence against journalists, and the president’s campaign running videos calling for an “army” of “able-bodied” people to join an “election security” squad.

Can we consign “law-and-order” to the description dustbin? This is an objectively lawless administration (check their court losses & actions) that encourages disorder. Find a better term for what they’re doing, @StarTribune https://t.co/WbcCXgncfW

As an American Jew I grew up wondering how people could have supported Nazis and allowed 6 million people to be murdered. They voted for Hitler, remember. I understand it better now. The slow steady descent into normalized hate is right here 👇👇 https://t.co/JUW64HLLeA
