Is anyone systematically tracking these university punishments for speech versus those for being insufficiently "woke" over the last decade?

The speed of the tone shift regarding the Kirk suspect was unreal

Extremely proud of my alma mater for this new policy. I graduated without debt as a recipient of Mount Holyoke's full-tuition merit scholarship. Every student should have the profound freedoms that come from graduating without debt, and now many more Mount Holyoke students will have that chance

Looks like a very interesting and thorough paper, that happens to also be relevant to what half of this site talks about constantly. Really looking forward to reading!

Just followed @somervilleyimby.org recs on primary candidates! Didn't love only voting for men in a primary but housing is THE issue in local politics & policy matters a hell of a lot more to me than local descriptive representation

Ahh yes good for the military to be honoring literal traitors who took up arms against our country

I think the standard for rejecting someone’s evidence as “useless” should be to provide more thorough and more accurate evidence. These incredible data are the best evidence we have! And fwiw, some coauthors and I found similar stuff when looking at tweets about “defund the police”

Everything sucks but at least I’m day drinking local cider w my parents’ new dog while reading abt pension policy

"Political Representation Gaps and Populism" has been making waves on twitter after being featured on Marginal Revolution Using data on local politicians (N=9000) + voters (N=28.000) from my article in Politica with @mvinaes.bsky.social in Denmark, this does not seem to be the case.

🚨NEW STUDY: Do Americans support a woman president? Our list experiment during the 2024 election, when @kamalaharris.com was on the ballot, reveals hidden bias, and it's more widespread than you'd expect. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

🚨 Updated working paper! Ekin Dursun and I ask what instruments best manipulate emotions on surveys (osf.io/56h4g). We find that vignettes really work! They have large effects on emotions of interest & smaller effects on emotions *not* of interest. But as always, it's complicated.👇 (1/17)

Incredibly grateful for this shout by @jamellebouie.net in the New York Times. He adopts my analogy with French Republicanism though I wish I did not have to keep writing about the fall of the American republic. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/06/o...

Bear Flag Revolt 2.0!

Big change in Gaza in early 2025, lining up with a change in Israeli policy after the change in the US govt. Still denied by people who want to support Israel but can’t support forced famine, and people who proclaimed that US policy was already the worst possible so the election made no difference.

As ever, proud to see Government dept. faculty leading the efforts to get Harvard to resist the Trump administration. What terrible precedents Columbia and Brown have set

What if … ppl paid funds to the nation according to their income and wealth? Like a tax?

What an indictment of most western politicians that Belgian royals are more concerned w extreme human rights abuses than they are (Belgian royals!! The family behind the infamous Congo crimes against humanity)

Good to be in a stable democracy w economic growth that exceeds the G7 (Spain)

Anyone else know exactly which two members of Congress this story is about before reading it?

This is a beautiful reflection by @marchvidkjaer.bsky.social. I hope to never again wish him to end the year with fewer ribs than it began in a birthday note (or anything else serious pertaining to health). Well worth a read

just opened a file for a project that maybe maybe maybe will evolve into a dissertation project

Excited to join this wonderful group of scholars in a few weeks to present some work in progress on the political gender gap among young people !

So the Supreme Court effectively denationalized American citizenship??

Intra-party politics night out in Madrid #EPSA2025 #falafel @blumrm.bsky.social @janaschwenk.bsky.social @malpas.bsky.social @jacobgunderson.bsky.social @mkaltenegger.bsky.social @felixlehmann.bsky.social @fabioangiolillo.bsky.social

Happening today! #EPSA2025

In a June Democratic mayoral primary, Zohran Mamdani received more votes than 22 sitting US Senators received in their most recent general elections.

Waking up this morning and wondering how primaries became factional contests between ideologically-distinct candidates, and whether these primaries have transformed parties? Well do I have just the book for you… tinyurl.com/4w6tfvjx

This is also America

Sure to be a great panel on factions and intra-party politics!

On Thursday at 11:20 (0A.08) I'll be presenting "Comparing Intra-Party Factional Conflict: An Inductive Approach Using Leadership Contests", co-authored with @blumrm.bsky.social and @malpas.bsky.social in the panel "Intra-Party Conflict in Comparative Perspective" #EPSA2025 tinyurl.com/3acmdudt

What a horrible thing to wake up to. Genuinely can't believe how many people thought the guy was anti-war

Harvard fighting the Trump administration’s attack now doesn’t change its primary role as a producer of the American and global elite, nor its benefit from slavery & other human suffering

Proud of my country today

CA sovereignty vis-a-vis US unfortunately became more relevant over the last 24 hours. It really is incredible that Californian economic power (we're the 4th largest economy globally!) translates into comparatively so little power in American politics

Worth noting LBJ used the National Guard to protect and expand civil rights; DJT is doing exactly the opposite.

I'm not pro California secession generally. But I am from the county that claimed to be independent California Republic in the 1846 Bear Flag Revolt. & idk, as CA is funding the federal competitive authoritarian assault, I've been thinking about if that Mexican-American war history went differently
