Just published! Kudos to Bernasek & Chester for bringing to life the Elgar Companion to Women and Heterodox Economics! @iaffe.bsky.social @feministeconomics.bsky.social

This week Trump pardoned a private equity fraudster, the drug-trafficking ex-president of Honduras, and a Congressman who allegedly took bribes. Meanwhile, he's weaponizing government to go after his enemies. An utter mockery of the rule of law. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NflcWXdV-B0

Larry Summers’ sexism is jeopardizing his power and privilege, but the entire economics profession hinders progress for women - an excellent reflection by @yanarodgers.bsky.social theconversation.com/larry-summer...

Excellent piece by @jamellebouie.net on the importance of placing limits on executive authority. “This is About So Much More Than Lisa Cook” [And check out the great @nathantankus.bsky.social for more on the history of the Federal Reserve!] www.nytimes.com/2025/09/24/o...

Firing a Black woman for quoting Kirk’s horrific statements about Black women is insane. It seems the Washington Post would rather perform politeness (and demand that the people Kirk harmed do it too) that tell the truth: karenattiah.substack.com/p/the-washin...

We will not stay silent. We will not stop until every woman is safe. Today and every day we celebrate the Violence Against Women Act.

In light of Trump’s worsening cruelty, vindictiveness, and ever more belligerent attacks on democracy, many of you ask: “What can I do now?” Here are a baker’s dozen of recommendations. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/what-you-can-do-f3d

I was only able to participate virtually in #IAFFE2025 conference. The hybrid sessions and virtual plenaries were all inspiring and energizing. Thanks to all who made this terrific conference! As a kitschy move, here's my proof of participation 😃 (All: pls move to #Bluesky!)

But no apology?!

I agree, at least embarrass them, e.g., Joni Ernst

Go after these companies, Lina Khan! Till the last minute of your FTC chair position. Thank you!

"We don’t have a policy on Palestine. We just do what the Israelis want us to do.” - Mike Casey, the US diplomat working on Gaza who just quit his job.

Belated and important recognition, but in the waning days of this administration isn't there more consequential work to be done?

Near White House — Rep. Rashida Tlaib honors Ayşenur Eygi, killed by IDF 101 days ago. “President Biden recently said ‘if you harm an American, we will respond.’ But in his inaction, has made it clear once again that when it comes to the Israeli government murdering Americans, it's a complete lie.”

Countries where the fertility rate has fallen by more than 15% in the last five years.

Stand with 2,500 Marriott, Hilton, and Hyatt workers in San Francisco with Unite Here Local 2 on strike to protect their healthcare. These workers are standing up for their families and their rights. Add your name today to show your support!

In the next month, Biden and Dems can... -Keep filling federal judicial vacancies -Ensure a pro-worker majority on the NLRB -Appoint key regulators to the SEC and FDIC -Renominate Lina Khan to the FTC And much, much more... Get it done.

Thanks for this commemoration, Haroon! How misogyny cut short their lives and contributions as engineers.

Harris had to embrace Lina Khan's anti-trust work to demonstrate to voters the pro-consumer, pro-worker achievements of the Biden-Harris administration. Instead, runs away from them. 👇 speaks to her strong pro-corporate credentials.

I am a signatory as well There are simple things you can do to support the striking hotel workers Please read and sign and act! I have already changed my hotel to one that is not on the strike list

Those going to ASSA in San Francisco: Great guidance by @aaronsojourner.org @jennifercohen.bsky.social @shirkandsteal.bsky.social to avoid crossing the picket lines and supporting striking workers

Thanks to BWI (Building and Wood Workers' International) union for their solidarity with Palestinian workers

Thanks! I thought there might be a way to do this

😂 cooptation of COP29 (cannot get over the locations of the latest COPs, taking down green washing to new lows!)

@bsky.app @safety.bsky.app @support.bsky.team Less than a week here, but my feed is already full of irrelevant posts (like Ads) that I did not sign up for. There's no "block" option, only "show less like this" or "hide post from me," which I am checking. A bit of a disappointment.

Just unfollowed this account, who had started following me!

Be sure to check out (and cite!) this important review article in the JEL on the economics of sexual orientation and gender identity written by pathbreaking scholars in this field.

Despicable Biden, even as lame duck, he cannot find his moral compass and discharge his obligations to uphold US law. Thanks to 19 Democratic U.S. Senators who voted to block arms sales to Israel.

Sussman's piece is behind a paywall, unfortunately.
