When I was an academic, I'd sometimes get a little feeling of excitement when I had an idea that was, I hoped, fresh. And whether anyone should act on that idea is a very different question. —Cass Sunstein

[id: series of tweets by David Beard @dabeard about the US internment camps.

1: “ICE lied, told flight attendants the kids were a soccer team. They weren’t. Now this flight attendant won’t work when the US transports children away from their parents. ‘I might as well have been a collaborator on their transport.’ #EndFamilySeparation”. attached image reads “On board these particular flights were ICE agents and migrant children (approximately four to eleven years old) who had been separated from their families and were being flown to a “relocation” site. Since working the two flights, the images of those helpless children hae burned into my psyche. The little children whose faces were full of fear, confusion, sadness, and exhaustion left me somewhat traumatized as it occurred to me a few weeks later that I might as well have been a collaborator in their transport.”

2: “Can it happen here? Nazi historian says ‘the ultimate safeguard against aspiring authoritarians, and wolves of all kinds, lies in individual conscience’. @CassSunstein” attached image is the header of an nybooks.com article [a nose-to-shoulders image of a nazi wearing a swastika] titled “It Can Happen Here” by Cass. R. Sunstein. preview text reads ‘Many accounts of the Nazi period depict a barely imaginable series of events, a nation gone mad. That makes it easy to take comfort in the thou...’”

3: “‘We want no part of it’ -- @united Airlines CEO, saying his jetliner will not carry detainees separated from their family under the inhumane #Trump administration policy, in planning since September, which medical authorities have called child abuse. The statement [screenshotted and attached to the tweet]: ‘At United Airlines, we have been concerned about reports that commercial airlines have been used to transport immigrant children separated from their parents by a newly implemented immigration enforcement policy. Based on some research we have done internally and public reports, we have not seen evidence these children have been flown on United aircraft. Based on our serious concerns about this policy and how it’s in deep conflict with our company’s values, we have contacted federal officials to inform them that they should not transport immigrant children on United aircraft who have been separated from their parents. Our company’s shared purpose is to connect people and unite the world. This policy and its impact on thousands of children is in deep conflict with that mission and we want no part of it.’ Oscar Munoz, CEO UNITED”

4: “He worked at a detention facility for little kids taken from their parents under #Trump order. One day, he was instructed to tell terrified brothers that they could not hug each other. On that day, he quit. #EndSeparationNow #Recharge”.

5: an image of a man unattached to the previous tweet. below the man is text which reads “‘When I received this order, I realized, because of the way that things were going, there would be more situations that would arise in which I was asked to do things I thought were immoral,’ Davidson told BuzzFeed News.”

6: tweet from David Beard @dabeard which reads “At detention facility outside Houston, US officials told immigrant kids to take ‘vitamins.’ They told them they wouldn’t see their parents unless they took them. They weren’t vitamins. They were powerful psychiatric drugs, @reveal reports.” attached is an tweet from Reveal @reveal which reads “1/ Immigrant children have been forcibly injected with powerful psychiatric drugs at one of the U.S. gov’t shelters, Shiloh Treatment Center outside of Houston, according to court documents and interviews.”

7: “They were tagged, like Germans tagged Jews. Americans of Japanese ancestry were dragged from homes to US internment camps in WWII. Today #Trump signed an #ExecutiveOrder ending family separation but setting up indefinite internment camps for immigrants. (Dorothea Lange images)”. attached images are of young Japanese American children in internment camps.

8: “ICE lied to these American Airlines flight attendants, too, and pushed past a pilot who wanted to kick them off -- and stop them from taking these kids 2,000+ miles away from their parents #KeepFamiliesTogether #EndFamilySeparation.” attached image reads “...was signed. Just before 9 p.m. on Wednesday, seven boys were escorted through the security gate at La Guardia after arriving on an American Airlines flight from Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. They wore dark hoodies, and could be seen carrying their belongings in plastic bags labeled Department of Homeland Security. Police officers brought them outside to a white van with tinted windows. As the van pulled away, a cluster of American Airlines flight attendants who were on the flight stood nearby with their luggage, visibly distraught. ‘They lied to us,’ one attendant said. ‘It’s disgusting what they did.’ Another employee said the pilot tried to prevent the children from being placed on the plane. Before they could elaborate, a spokesperson from...”

9: “Handcuffed. Beaten. Left nude, shivering in cells. Strapped in chairs with bags over their heads. These are immigrant kids as young as 14 captured by ICE, mistreated in one facility, @AP reports”. attached image shows the Shenandoan Valley Juvenile Center, and is the header for an apnews.com article titled “Young immigrants detained in Virginia center allege abuse”. preview text reads “WASHINGTON (AP) -- Immigrant children as young as 14 housed at a juvenile detention center in Virginia say they were beaten while handcuff...”

10: “The tech companies that express dismay at #Trump immigration policies -- even as they are enabling ICE to track down, take away and indefinitely detain people under draconian “zero tolerance” initiative. @oneunderscore_”. attached image is of police gathered around a vehicle, and is the header for an nbcnews.com article titled “Tech companies quietly work with ICE as border crisis continues”. preview text reads “The contracts highlight how technology companies are putting their innovations to work with the U.S. government in ways that are often not v....”

11: reply tweet from Joy Reid @JoyAnnReid which reads “This is beyond chilling”.  end id]

American Airlines is still transporting migrant kids for Trump’s gestapo as kids under 18 do not need ID to fly.

Do You Know How To Navigate Life?

  On Freedom Cass R. Sunstein

In this pathbreaking book, New York Times bestselling author Cass Sunstein asks us to rethink freedom. He shows that freedom of choice isn’t nearly enough. To be free, we must also be able to navigate life. People often need something like a GPS device to help them get where they want to go—whether the issue involves health, money, jobs, children, or relationships. In both rich and poor countries, citizens often have no idea how to get to their desired destination. That is why they are unfree. People also face serious problems of self-control, as many of them make decisions today that can make their lives worse tomorrow. And in some cases, we would be just as happy with other choices, whether a different partner, career, or place to live—which raises the difficult question of which outcome best promotes our well-being. Accessible and lively, and drawing on perspectives from the humanities, religion, and the arts, as well as social science and the law, On Freedom explores a crucial dimension of the human condition that philosophers and economists have long missed—and shows what it would take to make freedom real.

Cass R. Sunstein is the Robert Walmsley University Professor at Harvard Law School, where he is the founder and director of the Program on Behavioral Economics and Public Policy. From 2009 to 2012, he led the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs. His many books include the New York Times bestsellers Nudge: Improving Decisions about Health, Wealth, and Happiness (with Richard H. Thaler) and The World According to Star Wars. The 2018 recipient of Norway’s Holberg Prize, he lives in Concord, Massachusetts. Twitter @CassSunstein

Reviews

"This slip of a book can be quickly read, but puts forth important concepts. Its ideas will stay with readers a long time."--Publishers Weekly

"[A] dazzling little book."--Times Higher Education

  Endorsements

"Real freedom is the freedom to reach your goal, not to get lost at every turn. In this powerful book, Cass Sunstein shows when policy can help us navigate to where we want to go, where policy might overstep by choosing the end point for us, and how to tell the two apart. A delightful masterpiece."—Esther Duflo, Massachusetts Institute of Technology

  “On Freedom is an elegant, clear, deceptively simple book about a fiendishly complex problem. How can free societies help citizens to navigate among a perplexing multitude of forking paths, only some of which lead toward desirable ends? How is a nudge in the right direction distinct from coercion? What is the best way to enable people to choose paths that enhance life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness? Drawing on a wealth of probing examples from social policy, literature, and his own experience, Sunstein brilliantly illuminates the challenges that face governments and individuals and sketches plausible ways forward.”—Stephen Greenblatt, author of The Swerve: How the World Became Modern

  “In this eloquent and timely book, Cass Sunstein asks urgent questions relevant to the crisis of democracy in which we find ourselves. As the author has demonstrated in the past, he is a thoughtful navigator of territory we may have prematurely believed we understood."—Joyce Carol Oates

  “An important and engaging book on freedom and choice by a top scholar. Sunstein gives us a comprehensive and cutting-edge treatment of his enormously influential work on nudging and well-being.”—L. A. Paul, author of Transformative Experience

  “By redefining freedom, this becomes a book about the meaning of life.”—Robert J. Shiller, Nobel Prize–winning economist
