Although the book will not be out until the summer, I just got the cover for it, and I am excited to share it with the world (or the five or so kind folks who engage with this post). I look forward to sharing more about my book “Information Brokers” with @uchicagopress.bsky.social in the new year.

For the second year in a row, the wealth gains for the 100 richest Americans exceeded what ALL American households spent on groceries combined. ~$995B for billionaires vs ~$775B in total grocery spending. We have an oligarchy and inequality problem masquerading as an affordability crisis.

Echoing this great thread from my co-author @mfroman.bsky.social on our paper with @mamalik.bsky.social showing how migration motive shapes immigrant political corporation. Excited to share and get feedback.

This paper was a blast to work on. The challenge: present party positions across many issues, in real time, using language voters actually use. 🧵 on why we went with a more involved retrieval-based approach and where I think these tools are headed.

I know I just got to Michigan, and I should not rock the boat. But can we start a campaign to get a custom mascot like Brutus, Hook’em, or Hairy Dawg? Not only is Michigan missing out on the revenue, but it is also a cool part of the game. Plus, it would stop Brutus from his shenanigans.

New article out (w Marcel R, Ben N, and David S) in @pnas.org. We show that young folks who signal interest in becoming cops hold more conservative views on race, multiculturalism, gender, and sexuality, etc.than their peers intending careers in other fields www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

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!

I'm stunned. ICE attorneys not identifying themselves in COURT?

I gotta say, as a Jew, it’s incredibly fucked up and sad that Elon Musk and Grok being Nazi sympathizers hasn’t caused a mass exodus (or coordinated boycott) from X. I don’t like to shame people for what is clearly a failure of collective action, but honestly, what the fuck?

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

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

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.

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...

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-...
