- I don't often wear political t-shirts, but I'm proudly sporting this one today. I'm an immigrant. I teach American (and international!) college students, research the U.S. economy, consult with policymakers, write books, raise my kids, pay taxes, and try to make this a better place.

- Ahead of Super Bowl Sunday, a digital billboard is pissing off locals at Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco. Right where tourists are flooding in for the game. The billboard cycles through three ads comparing ICE to football “defense”. Paid for by a group calling itself American Sovereignty. 🙄
