Labels can impact politics. My paper @apsrjournal.bsky.social "What Happens When You Can't Check the Box?" shows when Middle Eastern & North African (MENA) Americans are excluded from identity categories, they assert MENA identity when answering relevant political questions. doi.org/10.1017/S000...

Why do some immigrants politically invest in their host country while others do not? @robertocarlos.bsky.social, @mfroman.bsky.social and @mamalik.bsky.social show the salience of migration motive, esp. economic motive, in shaping political incorporation. More at #APSA2025!

Super excited this is out in @polbehavior.bsky.social w/ @arielrwhite.bsky.social @melissamichelson.bsky.social #SamRoth & @dosocialjustice.bsky.social "Getting out the (newly enfranchised) vote: Encouraging voter registration after rights restoration" link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Heart-broken for the 20k Texas students who get to afford college every year because of this. As many as 900 local UTRGV students are enrolled annually under this provision. Horrendous to see state leaders rubber stamp this without a fight www.nytimes.com/2025/06/04/u...

This whole thread is hugely important— it chronicles the on-going disappearance of a broad swath of critical publicly-funded data across US department and agency websites.

🚨Another HUGE bit of news tonight; in collaboration with the Trump admin, Texas just kicked 20,000 undocumented college students — people who grew up in Texas and graduated from high school there — out of eligibility for in-state tuition. This may force thousands to drop out.

It’s not too late to apply for a Postdoc position with Team CID. Join us ✨this fall✨ to work with restricted and hard-to-access data related to income and social inequality topics. Applications due June 15! myumi.ch/155qg #nowhiring #academicsky

i know there is a new pope, but there is also serious ongoing war between two nuclear powers with consequences for everyone. you should care about it: www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/5/...

The Catholic Church played a major role in supporting and bringing down several authoritarian regimes. I doubt this is a coincidence.

We are extremely pleased to announce the preliminary release of the combined pre-election and post-election dataset for the ANES 2024 Time Series Study! The data and documentation can be downloaded from the ANES website at: electionstudies.org/data-center/... Best, The ANES Team

As I wrap up my last class of the semester, it feels appropriate to announce that I will be joining @umich.edu Political Science & @umisrcps.bsky.social this fall. While leaving my home state and my many wonderful colleagues is hard, I am super excited about what is in store in Ann Arbor. Go Blue!

Though alliances of wealthy and non-wealthy are not new, Trump’s plutopopulist coalition may reflect uniquely American campaign finance laws and practices which enable both unlimited, large donations by the wealthiest Americans and broad participation among non-wealthy. /fin Open: cup.org/4cfm0Az

U.S. deference to, and respect for, Latin American sovereignty fits the historical pattern.

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

I sat down with @ryanenos.bsky.social and a colleague from Penn to discuss the war on universities with NBC News youtu.be/kF6rnK6V2Ag?...

No criminal record, no gang ties, no tattoos, applied for asylum, father of a 9-year-old, government's case full of errors, sent to mega-prison anyway amp.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Wow. California State University, UC-Berkeley, UC-Davis, UC-San Diego and U of SF are ALL urging foreign-born students, faculty and staff to reconsider international travel because there's no telling whether the Trump administration will allow them to re-enter. www.desertsun.com/story/news/n...

Check out our article on the impact of the George Floyd protests on downstream police behavior, now out in @poppublicsphere.bsky.social Not for nothing, but first presented this paper for feedback at #JusticeAndInjustice -- get those apps in!

Democratic backsliding in the United States is part of a global trend, but it's not inevitable. @profpjones.bsky.social describes how other countries have pushed back on autocracy: cpsblog.isr.umich.edu?p=3417 #PoliSky

Today I'm filled with admiration for my university's president, Chris Eisgruber. He's standing up for Columbia and for universities as a home for freedom of ideas, debate, and thought - free of government attack. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Texas legislators considering a bill that would put all public university course curricula and faculty hiring in the hands of ruling party political appointees and politicians, effectively ending academic freedom.

Folks are gonna dunk on the Trump voter and I get that but don’t sleep on the more disturbing part of the story:

We are hiring a pre-doc at Stanford to work on (among other things) a project called Public Pulse, which will provide reports on public opinion in the US, and potentially fill the void of things like 538. Please share with your undergrads. iriss.stanford.edu/predoc/2025-...

Spare a thought for your green-card holding and naturalized colleagues, many of whom are now doing risk-benefit calculations before speaking on anything that could be considered remotely political

Yesterday, we published a piece about the shake-up at the US immigration courts. As I wrote, 19 judges are resigning or retiring. And now we know 66 staffers with EOIR are voluntarily departing too. That's 85 professionals leaving the agency. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The Deportation Data Project collects and posts public, anonymized U.S. government immigration enforcement datasets. A public good provided by academics and lawyers at Berkeley, UCLA, Stanford, Yale, and Columbia.

If you’re coming to @mpsa.bsky.social and care about research on student voting, please join the Student Vote Research Network workshop on Thursday afternoon!

Kenneth Lowande from the University of Michigan - @umisrcps.bsky.social - wrote a book about executive power in the United States. Now, he tells me: „Our system seems to be collapsing.“ The full interview, translated to German for publication.

Very nice forthcoming APSR from Cox, Epp, and @mshepruralpolitics.bsky.social. Rural hospital closures reduced turnout nearby. We want people who experience social or economic hardship to speak up politically--but hardship reduces your voice. gated: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

There are so many reasons university endowments can't make up for the dramatic cuts the Trump administration has planned for science. Here are a few. Thanks to @donmoyn.bsky.social for the platform.
