Wow

Border Czar Tom Homan was caught by the FBI accepting bribes - on camera - to deliver government contracts in exchange for $50,000 in cash. Pam Bondi knew. Kash Patel knew. Emil Bove knew. And they made the investigation go away. A corrupt attempt to conceal brazen graft.

I don’t always approve of Gov Newsom, but when he pushes back against authoritarianism I’m 💯 a fan #FightFascism

“On Sept. 20, with hidden cameras recording the scene, Homan accepted $50,000 in bills, according to an internal summary of the case.” Homan was being investigated for allegedly “soliciting payments in exchange for awarding contracts should Trump win the election” www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

Disney has lost nearly $4 Billion in three days from combined stock price collapse and cancelled subscriptions.

Off to a great start at #CUBoulderPRIEC @priec.bsky.social! UT grad @mirandasullivan.bsky.social presenting her excellent work on the impact of respectability politics among Latines… she finds… (She’s on the market! Keep your eye on this rising star 🌟#hookem)

Another great presentation from UT grad @averrilli.bsky.social on her project “Moving in and Mobilizing” about gentrifier behavior in their new neighborhoods @priec.bsky.social She is a rising star and on the market!

Another great talk, this time from Nick Ottone @nottone.bsky.social at @priec.bsky.social on the impact of group based diversity on downstream sentencing decisions (He’s on the market!! Look out, he’s on the way up!!)

Beautiful day to be in Boulder #CUBoulder #PRIEC #BarneyFord

Stephen Colbert: “Tonight we’re all Jimmy Kimmel…. With an autocrat, you can’t give an inch. If ABC thinks that this is going to satisfy the regime, they are woefully naive, and clearly they've never read The Children's Book If You Give a Mouse A Kimmel.”

Word

I stand with PBS. I stand with NPR. I stand with Stephen Colbert. I stand with Jimmy Kimmel. I stand with the First Amendment. PERIOD.* *Also #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files

Hey I've got a bold idea, how about Congress exercise its Article I responsibilities and work to hold the president accountable when he's ripping the First Amendment to shreds.

weird that neither of these articles two main stories decrying censorship mention WaPo's firing of @karenattiah.bsky.social I guess democracy really does die in darkness

This aged well

There’s competition, I know. But threatening to pull the broadcast licenses of the affiliates of an entire “big-3” television network unless they stop their evening talk show host from criticizing the president has to be one of the biggest First Amendment violations in U.S. history.

so many dead canaries and we just keep on mining

I don’t know when it’s going to pop for a lot of normies that they are living under an authoritarian regime, but the cancellation of popular TV shows that make fun of the administration might do it www.vulture.com/article/abc-...

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

Delighted to see @melissamichelson.bsky.social announce @sophiemainz.bsky.social as this year's recipient of the @epovb.bsky.social John Sullivan Award for her fantastic experimental work on femonationalism from APSA 2024 🏆 Sophie will be on the job market soon & any uni. would be luck to have her!

I’m enjoying @apsa.bsky.social #APSA2025. Love seeing my friends & hearing about new research. And I got to hold my new book! 📚😊 @nyupress.bsky.social

I was at this panel for the teaser, and I am excited to read The Rainbow Vote when it comes out! Fabulous research 🤩

GOP greatly overestimates the number of fucks GenX and younger give about Bill Clinton.

If I were a Democrat in Congress I'd be introducing legislation to suspend the Supreme Court's upcoming term (it's happened before, in 1802). The suspension would be to give us time to figure out what to do with this dangerous, anti-democratic institution.

Highest level of support since Gallup started asking this question a quarter century ago

Authoritarians thrive on your silence — be loud — for America.

I finished reading Sodomy's Solicitations today, and I can't stop mulling over Fischel's arguments about a right to queerness. Plus now I've got a great idea for a lesson plan for next week. #LGBTQPolitics #QueerPolitics

Our "Party at the Ballot Box" book got a shout-out in @msmagazine.com! msmagazine.com/2025/09/03/b... 🤩

Why don’t you send everyone proof of life first? (Either way, Chicago doesn’t want you here)

"My friend Victor like saved me though, because he laid on top of me. But he got hit." 10-year-old describes witnessing Minneapolis shooting.

We can't allow ourselves to become numb to mass shootings. What happened today in Minneapolis is heartbreaking, and Michelle and I are praying for the parents who have lost a child or will be sitting at their hospital bedside after yet another act of unspeakable, unnecessary violence.

Our forthcoming book has it's first review, and it's a good one! 🤩 www.forewordreviews.com/reviews/part... @sldemora.bsky.social

Reviewing some anti-LGBT/anti-drag bills for the project I'm working on with @melissamichelson.bsky.social and... Wow. SB 937 from Oklahoma. Most of the bill is arguing that LGBTQ identity is a religion and thus recognizing it in schools violates the establishment clause... This is wild.

I teach intro to U.S. government and wrote this for other teachers who, like me, have maybe emphasized the framers' distrust of government too much over the years. Hope this helps balance it out for students. The framers were fans of government. goodauthority.org/news/good-to...

It's publication day! Teaching LGBTQ Politics is now available from SUNY Press and all your fine book retailers (I'm assuming). You can also get it at Amazon, where the Kindle version is currently $38.
