Huge fan of this project!

FWIW, I'm interviewing people who experienced ICE in MN and it's not surprising to me that they didn't react with voter reg + pol donations. People are disenchanted with mainstream politics, spending spare $ on rent funds + buying groceries for neighbors. Mobilized by injustice a la @hlw.bsky.social

My quick take after reading FBI's Fulton County affidavit: it's a bunch of discredited recycled BS peddled for years by election deniers and it's appalling that a judge signed off on a warrant for the raid based on the "evidence" presented here

Looks extremely cool #PRIEC

Crime is decreasing across the country despite a police-staffing crisis, Henry Grabar reports. He explores what might be responsible for the trend:

the question to ask about this is, okay, he wants to cancel the midterms. how does he get the VA state board of elections to cancel the midterms? how does he get the georgia board of elections to do it? how does he convince republican house members to quit their jobs and give up their paychecks?

"Even after accounting for the upfront costs and delayed benefits, enrolling marginal applicants to public universities generates substantial net returns for society, the marginal students themselves, and the government budget." Public Universities FTW!

Looking for a postdoc in American politics? Come work with us in Ann Arbor! No obligations other than research. Preference for institutions-focused work, but we’re open to a wide range of substantive interests (including local politics!). Happy to answer any questions: apply.interfolio.com/178829

This sounds less like a grievance and more like a practical how-to for junior scholars!

Clear evidence that at universities conservatives don't face higher obstacles than liberals to establish student groups + invite outside speakers. "These results fail to offer support for the view that conservative students encounter more difficulty in efforts to access campus resources."

Survey experiments have become a popular methodology among social scientists. Has it been effective? In POQ, Rauf et al. study the efficacy of 100 survey experiments. Their results show that a majority of hypotheses were not supported. Read now: doi.org/10.1093/poq/...

Officially out with @mayasen.bsky.social! We find defendants assigned to former public defenders are less likely to be incarcerated, providing insight into the relationship between criminal legal disparities and judicial characteristics. www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...

This morning at @thejop.bsky.social blog, Mike and I discuss our new paper on the effects of getting the Voting Rights Act on the turnout gap — and what it might mean for the case before the Court right now. A preview in some ways of our book, out next fall! ubwp.buffalo.edu/jopblog/2025...

Check out this outstanding opportunity to be mentorwd by the one and only @allipatter.bsky.social!! (w/ guest appearances from myself & @arielrwhite.bsky.social!)

Periodic request to please post #psjminfo updates to www.politicalsciencejobs.org/status-updat...

New research finds mass shootings may increase voter turnout and support for gun reform initiatives in the United States, but the effect is hyperlocalized near the incidents. Learn more in #ScienceAdvances: https://scim.ag/4qYXFWP

The audience loved this project when it was presented at #Justice&Injustice!! Congrats to Nirvikar!

🚨NEW WORKING PAPER🚨 Why are many Latino immigrants *not* naturalizing, learning English, and participating in American politics? We provide new theory and evidence across 3 surveys and an instrumental variables approach to show how migration motives shape immigrant integration. tinyurl.com/3expvu8e

In the newsletter this week, I point out that Stephen Miller’s great-replacement rhetoric depends on demonstrably false assumptions about immigrants’ politics. www.howtoreadthisch.art/data-is-anti...

www.nytimes.com/2025/12/10/u... A baller move by uni leaders in forward thinking states would be poach clusters of scholars from TX institutions. You’d inject a generation’s worth of teaching and productivity power to your school for bargain basement prices. Paging Ass. Deans across the nation.

One of the unique things Talarico does is market progressive ideas in a religious frame. He is BOTH radical and moderate. This is the kind of thing that unidimensional discussions of “electability” can miss. This isn’t about the TX primary but about how “electability”-stans are thinking too small.

Hey hey hey y'all! Interested in the politics of #policing? The new issue of @poppublicsphere.bsky.social has MANY great articles! Lead by rockstar @averrilli.bsky.social ⭐ & w/ @mfroman.bsky.social (& me): "Policing Socio-Geographic Boundaries and Inequality" www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

I loved this conversation for Inside Philanthropy about my forthcoming book and my work at Arnold Ventures. www.insidephilanthropy.com/home/7-quest...

Breaking News: Republicans in the Indiana Senate defied President Trump and joined Democrats in voting down a congressional map aimed at adding GOP seats.

So interesting! Relevant for scholars getting creative to measure micro-level dynamics in cities cc: @averrilli.bsky.social

Great opportunity for early career scholars!

Quick reminder that Harvard's John F. Kennedy School of Government is conducting an open (non-targeted) faculty search in American politics at the rank of full professor I encourage any interested scholars to submit their application ASAP! academicpositions.harvard.edu/postings/15418

@jamestalarico.bsky.social sent this video to his 10,000 volunteers: “We will make the case for why we are best positioned to win this race — but we will always treat Congresswoman Crockett with the utmost respect. She is my colleague and she is a leader in our state. She deserves nothing less.”

That John Roberts was more concerned with nuisance lawsuits against the president than he was with whatever this is will haunt this country for a long time

I’m just a small-town political scientist, & it’s still relatively early, but it appears that The Actual Democrats did not Need To Do any of the Things or Learn any of the Obvious Lessons that Ezra Douthglesias said they Must Do & Learn.
