New analysis up today on the "invisible primary" in the Colorado governor race. Polis is term limited, and the two frontrunners are current AG Phil Weiser and Senator Michael Bennet. www.co-political-landscape.org/the-invisibl... #copolitics 1/

Calling all BYU alumni - register your displeasure with the insane decision to allow ICE at a career fair.

this is a cool new #copolitics site with some great data analysis by @bradjones.bsky.social on the #cogov contest... excited to see more of his work here this year!

Another important report from Pew out today on Americans' views of ICE actions. An enormous majority of the public says it is acceptable for citizens to record video of immigration officers (nearly 3/4 of the public; almost all Dems, and nearly six-in-ten Reps). www.pewresearch.org/politics/202...

Cory Doctorow does not mince words about the collective delusion our titans of tech seem to be under. pluralistic.net/2026/01/29/p...

Pretty amazing how Trump's support among *Republicans* has slipped so much in the latest Pew poll. 2/3s say he has the mental fitness for the job. Only 42% now say he is acting ethically in office (!). www.pewresearch.org/politics/202...

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Chasing "new" ideas and counterintuitive findings is the foundation for things like the replication crisis in the social sciences. These kinds of incentives pull researchers in unproductive directions.

Can any #copolitics folks help me understand why Advance Colorado is lighting their money on fire? The millions spent to get this thing on the ballot can only backfire in Colorado. www.cpr.org/podcast-epis...

my expectation of democratic senators is that they find 1/10th of the bravery of your average 70 year old lutheran lady following ICE around mpls in her subaru crosstrek

This hit so fucking hard today.

New post up on political polarization: colorados-political-landscape.ghost.io/political-po... By my reckoning, Colorado has bucked the national trend over the last 40 years or so, and the gap between politicians from the state (at the national level anyhow) has decreased 1/ #copolitics

The post goes into more details about how political scientists think about polarization in the presence of political change, and some high-level thoughts from me about the utility of this approach. Sign up to be notified when new posts go up: colorados-political-landscape.ghost.io

I cannot imagine the devastation this family is experiencing today. This statement is powerful and must be read.

The latest from YouGov (n ~ 3.4k). An outright majority say ICE's tactics are too forceful. ICE approval: -19 Approval of protests against ICE: +8 "Abolish ICE:" +5 today.yougov.com/topics/overv...

Just staggered by the complete moral void of not even *pretending* to wait for more information before pivoting to “the opponent of the state deserved it.” It is so insanely depraved. Soulless.

Why is Dem leadership not on the ground in MN? If the answer is “polls show Trump’s disapproval is only -15 on deportations, but -25 on prices,” thats a Bad Use Of Polling and a complete failure in their capacity as leaders to lead public opinion and fight for democracy and the rule of law

A coworker took this from her apartment. I haven't seen a crowd this size before. Maybe the first Women's March? But it was much much warmer that day. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!

genuinely stunning image

Any Americanists out there have experience with ideal point estimates and alternate explanations for the emerging 'U' shaped relationships between district partisanship and ideology estimates in the DIME data?

I've been working up a new post for my website (www.co-political-landscape.org ... like and subscribe, etc) The animation below shows the ideological positions of MCs going back to 1980. It is super interesting to me how the shape changes over time (DIME data from @adambonica.bsky.social) 1/

"I want a god as my accomplice ... a god knocked unconscious by the billy club of a policeman at a demonstration ... a god who longs from jail for a change in the order of things" Prayer/Oracion by Francisco X. Alarcón (tr. Francisco Aragón) www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/53880/...

I do not understand why Dems (or someone) are not broadcasting wall to wall montages of ICE thugs abusing our neighbors, abducting children, terrorizing US citizens, invading homes w no warrant, or murdering mothers. This should be a massive exercise in ISSUE SALIENCE driven by Dem elites.

this is the sickest shit ive ever seen

The first veto of President Trump’s second term killed legislation that would have brought clean water to some of the most conservative parts of Colorado. Residents wonder why.

I'm also going to keep banging the drum that <fewer than 10> <Republicans> in Washington could end almost all of this immediately, by fulfilling their oaths & caucusing with the Democrats, & we should stop giving them <total free passes> every day & laser focus on that: bsky.app/profile/mcop...

oh boy... I'm not sure sharing a tier with "The Liver King" (who was recently arrested for stalking Joe Rogan) was how the Church hoped this would play out ... I'm old enough to remember some impressive PR coups during the Mormon Moment - this ain't it www.beastphilanthropy.org/supporters

@hankgreen.bsky.social 's analysis here feels spot on as to how enshittification encroaches on culture. I especially appreciated the hopeful note he sounds at the end in all the ways our humanity fights through. www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMWP...

My wife and I just finished @postcurious.bsky.social 's Morrison Game Factory. If you are looking for a way to unplug (mostly... ), I can't recommend it highly enough.

I just gave. Of you have the means, you should as well.

Wikipedia is digital monument to human curiosity - what a beautiful thing. Here's to another 25 years!

The late Orrin Hatch and some weird Utah MLMs have a lot to do with lack of regulation of the supplement industry. kffhealthnews.org/news/how-sen...

the constitution has many flaws but addressing our current circumstances is not among them; the framers were in fact quite concerned about this kind of thing and were clear that it should not happen here what they did not and could not guard against is the people in charge ignoring their plain text

Very cool new thing from the endlessly talented @gelliottmorris.com
