I agree with this critique although I will add that my critique (additionally) is that these stories do not discuss STATE VIOLENCE, like, you know, the goons kidnapping folks on the street and leaving children in the car.

For the Guardian, @bjoernbremer.bsky.social, @siljahausermann.bsky.social and I write about how building new homes is not enough to tackle the housing crisis. Housing is a redistributive issue and progressive policy solutions need to acknowledge that. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Needed - larger samples, more realism about (the lack of) heterogeneous treatment effects: -"less than a third of proposed hypotheses were supported... the largest predictor of positive exp. results was sample size" -"moderation hypotheses were rarely significant" academic.oup.com/poq/advance-...

Props to the protestors who the New York Times credits for foiling ICE’s intended raid in Chinatown earlier today. So many people are showing they know what it means to be New Yorkers! www.nytimes.com/2025/11/29/n...

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

One of the points Joshua Davis makes in *Police Against the Movement* is that COINTELPRO was started by the police and all the FBI did was federalize it. And SNCC and CORE did a ton of organizing around police brutality specifically. #BookSky

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

I have an undergrad who is doing work on how different news networks used different terms over the past 15 years. Here is "woke" at Fox News and in official congressional e-newsletters

🚨We analyzed 138 million geocoded property tax records to quantify how municipal boundaries spatially overlap onto economic segregation in every US metro area—creating disparities in localities’ ability to fund public goods. And we made an interactive map of our results! [1/16]

Cas Mudde spells out what has become largely the consensus among researchers: moving right on immigration will not weaken the far right nor strengthen social democracy. If your reaction is "but in Denmark" please at least familiarize yourself with Danish politics www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

New evidence that twin estimates of heritability should be adjusted downward by about half

Det här tycker jag är en principiellt viktig nyhet. Polisen menar att civil olydnad är ett hot mot demokratin och därför bör aktivisten David Alcer utvisas - till Tyskland. https://www.sydsvenskan.se/lund/polisen-lundaforskarens-miljoaktivism-ar-ett-hot-mot-demokratin/

New #openaccess study We made >16,000 visa appointment requests at German embassies and consulates worldwide Key finding: The poorer the country, the longer the wait time and the lower the chance to get an appointment. "A time panelty for the Global South?" shorturl.at/ZiAFb

new paper by Sean Westwood: With current technology, it is impossible to tell whether survey respondents are real or bots. Among other things, makes it easy for bad actors to manipulate outcomes. No good news here for the future of online-based survey research

The U.S. military is being used inside the United States. There's a lot we don't know about how, why, and under what authorities. Lawfare's new project–which includes a tracker and a map–follows where and how the military is being domestically deployed. www.lawfaremedia.org/projects-ser...

(1/10) 🚨Preprint alert!🚨 In this article, I challenge claims of a generational rise of conservative men. In the media and recent academic publications, the so-called ‘youth gender gap’ has been interpreted as a generational phenomenon. doi.org/10.31234/osf...

"He was a believer in the Washington Consensus, US military hegemony bolstered in the Middle East by the alliance with Israel, globalization, the privatization of government functions, STEM-dominated education, and male-centered sexual hedonism—an ethos he took to sickening extremes."

Here are some more exact numbers on which I based this article: Sweden has 4.43 billionaires per capita; the US has 2.69. In Sweden, the billionaires own 34% of the GDP; in the US, it is 26.5%. The days of Swedish equality are long gone.

👏 Congrats to Vilde Hernes, Karolina Łukasiewicz & team on their JEMS Special Issue! 🪖 Europe’s response to Ukraine’s displacement wasn’t as unified as it seemed. The ReLiSU framework shows diverging, shifting policies across 8 countries. #Migration #JEMS www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Pushing for open access is not enough. We need a push to end profit.

The Swedish police are working closely with Palantir, and giving them access to massive amounts of sensitive personal data. A company whose CEO recently suggested that Greta Thunberg is the Antichrist

New from me: An interactive data visualization showing billionaire migration: paths from birthplace to most recent residence for > 3,100 of the world’s richest individuals. Most importantly, fun to play around with; also, useful for thinking about q's re: elites and comparative wealth ineq. 1/5

They’re wearing masks so they can’t be prosecuted later. As long as they think they can’t be prosecuted, their crimes will intensify. They will torture, starve and kill, as they have already, on greater and greater scale. Signed, someone who’s covered the unaccountable War on Terror for 23 years.

This is absolute BULLSHIT! Unapologetic support for multiculturalism is barely heard even among Green parties these days. Freezing of rent? Where in Europe is this standard policy? Which governments and mainstream parties are calling Israel’s destruction of Gaza “genocide”?

Every time one of these mass murderers dies without having faced any consequence for the massacres they ordered, the lives they destroyed, the societies they razed to the ground… I realize how far we are from a world with justice. Rest in hell Dick Cheney. Your legacy is death.

It's baffling to me that the people who believe "Throwing an ever expanding amount of public money at a solution that in 200 years has failed to produce safety for all and also hurts innocent people" get to frame themselves as the "Reasonable" ones who "live in reality"

I dag skriver jag att det skulle kunna bli en intressant debatt om svensk migrationspolitik om Socialdemokraterna agerade som ett verkligt oppositionsparti.

Stark text. Barn som begår brott är offer, inte förövare. etidning.dn.se/shared/artic...

It is inportant to note that although there is no opposition party, and most of the so-called “liberal” establishment is AWOL or complicit, there are thousands and thousands of “ordinary people” actively resisting the authoritarian racism of the Trump administration… every day. #Respect ❤️

"Ett brev betyder så mycket".

David Alcer jobbar på Lunds universitet, och är klimataktivist. Nu har gränspolisen upprepade gånger frihetsberövat honom – utan brottsmisstanke – och hotat med utvisning. – Jag trodde inte att det kunde gå till så här i en demokrati, säger han. (1/2) www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/a/B0...

Evidence from random roommate assignment and a gaming ban for minors in China once again show what I now believe incredibly strongly: smartphones and social media destroy civilization via @arpitrage.bsky.social

Hotet mot akademiska frihet från högern ligger inte bara i usa utan också här i Sverige

Goddamn @theamynicholson.bsky.social COOKED with this FRANKENSTEIN review. Bow down to one of the greats. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

Vi träffar Greta Thunberg hemma i hennes kollektiv. Och får höra om tortyren hon och de andra i flottiljen utsattes för. I vår granskning framgår att UD tonat ned allvaret i situationen, i sin kommunikation med anhöriga under fångenskapen. Bilder av Magnus Wennman. www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/a/0V...

I don’t disagree with this analysis —- but every prosecution is political. You know how many nutty prosecutions there are based on less evidence? (Coughing in cop city protestors) www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

New article out this month on how doctors become fascists. 50% of German physicians joined the Nazi Party––twice the proportion of any other profession. US doctors today are arguably the most conservative in the world, and we're heading along a similar path. drive.google.com/file/d/1CAk9...

Parkeringsytan i Sverige är större än den totala boytan. Och en körande bil tar hundra gånger mer plats än en gående person. Vi har tagit reda på hur mycket plats bilen och andra trafikslag tar i staden, rent fysiskt.

In 2019 when I was interviewing for the job of anti-surveillance activist at EFF I was asked what is biggest civil liberties threat that no is talking about yet---and my answer at the time was Ring. Given the general climate and its capabilities, it's even worse now. Get. Rid. Of. Your. Ring.

No bomb should’ve ever dropped on a single civilian, a single child. If this is the end of them I’m glad. But the loss is so so immense and the future so uncertain. What does “peace” mean when it sits atop a genocide? What peace when the genocider dictates its terms?

Pretty accurate, no?

"Likt kulturminister Parisa Liljestrand (M) flydde Ashkan som barn till Sverige från Iran. Nu jobbar han på Volvo – eller jobbade. Ashkan sitter inlåst på Migrationsverkets förvar för att utvisas från det enda land han har, till ett land han sist såg som elvaåring."
