Apple Music posted this thank you video from Bad Bunny. It is full of joy and the beauty of America’s melting pot. You may want tissues nearby. Cc: @beckyhammer.bsky.social, Benito Ambassador

Happy birthday to one of my favourite haters, Charles Darwin

Attn: LAW 222 students. I saw a reference to Bondi reinventing Omelas here. The suffering of these victims is something we all agree to ignore as somehow crucial to strong stock market. Ouch.

Wow! (This whole thread is full of delightful details from the show.)

I also see “Conejo” on the PR flag. Bad Bunny = el conejo (or conejito) malo

Peep the LIGHT BLUE Puerto Rican flag in the window The flag with the light blue triangle represents the Puerto Rican independence movement For many years it was illegal to display on the island (Lots more light blue flags forthcoming in this performance)

Trust me, the woman of academia are not at all surprised by the number of academic men orbiting Epstein.

School administrator sent out a message about a possible nationwide economic shutdown event on Friday. Spreading the word here, as I didn’t realize it was moving forward. (My feed is mostly nerds — my people.)

JUST IN: Lawyers file declaration in federal court from first-hand witness to immigration agents' shooting of a US citizen onlookers today. Minneapolis Mayor Frey said details would be used to bolster case for ousting ICE from city. Doc: www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

It’s interesting to me that Senators all have different approaches to constituent contact after hours. Senator Schiff takes voicemail and gives an email address in his voice message, and Senator Padilla does neither.

Reposting so I can add to my slides.

@mariajstephan.bsky.social did a fantastic job on The Late Show last night. She explained civil resistance, the authoritarian playbook, and the moral foundations of resistance. Here is part 1: youtu.be/N7MgLMzsnmE

Sotomayor: “This whole case is irregular, starting with treating the Truth Social post as notice.” I hope they put in an opinion that a social media post on a proprietary platform cannot ever be considered notice. It’s so dumb to have to say it, but these are dumb times.

“What is the removal order? The Truth Social post?” 💀

i feel like the viral bus thread resonates because at every step of the way you're like "ok surely this will be resolved shortly, any second now," which seems like what all the passengers are also thinking. then the fact that the situation doesn't resolve and the bus just keeps going is an Allegory

I don’t know how big accounts do it. I like things cozy and small around here. 😅

In case anyone found me while searching for how to deal with transcripts these days, here's something that worked and maintained data privacy for subjects. I'm sure scholars who interview more than I would have even better approaches, but this did the trick.

Super, super interesting paper from Rosie Cooperman: "the two most distinct...partisans, D women & R men, are prominently featured in the opposing party’s negative messaging...D women as the focal point of negative messaging...has significant consequences for this group of officeholders."

Look what just arrived! Excited to share that @povertyscholar.bsky.social and my new book hits shelves this month! If you're interested in #justice, #housing, and building collective #PoliticalPower, this book has something for you! You can order here bit.ly/3NLYCCw or at your favorite bookstore.

But what if Maduro’s involvement in the drug trade was an “official act”?

✖️Who produces most online hate speech and how effective is counterspeech? ➡️ @gloriagennaro.bsky.social et al. find that hate speech is concentrated among a few users and that counterspeech on X mostly fails to curb prolific offenders www.cambridge.org/core/journal... #FirstView

I’d be surprised if Nigeria stays on the list. There are a lot of Nigerians in Houston.

It's happening! Canada launched two programs to recruit international researchers. Canada Impact+ Research Chairs (1 million/yr for 8 yrs +) Canada Impact+ Emerging Leaders. I will do my best to facilitate the process for those interested. Hit me up. www.canada.ca/en/impact-pl...

FYI: law and science, political science, and sociology all still have DDRIG programs run outside of the NSF but funded by NSF. The rest of these programs unfortunately do not. I run the political science DDRIG.

A short thread of observations using Max Andrew's tool to explore the network of relationships revealed in the Epstein estate email cache. @thatsjustlikeyouropinionman.com 🧵 1. There is a tight inner circle, densely connected. Trump is in the near outer rim. epstein-doc-explorer-1.onrender.com

Another reason why we need powerful women in academia. Women who fight these guys and, equally importantly, protect the next generation. Always, always make things better for them

Tonight, I got to hold the galleys for my forthcoming book Coverage Denied! Feeling so grateful to have such wonderful support from @rblaifeder.bsky.social and the whole team at @universitypress.cambridge.org @cambup-polsci.cambridge.org, and friends and mentors who’ve helped make this possible.

Imagine a world with consequences!

I know that the job market is rough this year for Econ PhDs. @utoronto.ca has expanded its postdoc funding. If you are on the market and work on school finance or early childhood education and are interested in a PostDoc, let me know! #econsky #educsky postdoc.sgs.utoronto.ca/current-post...

I just taught Allen v. Wright today. It’s about these segregation academies, though the court doesn’t say that part out loud. So I was thrilled to see this thread and am looking forward to reading this paper. GL on the market, Danielle!

can’t wait to tell my students in the middle of class, “hold on—gotta email the chancellor before I can answer your question“

Never Ending Story theme song on the organ. Well done, organist!

Helen Norton is so smart, and if you ever get a chance to have a meal with her, you should do it.

@austincollege.bsky.social I saw retired sociology professor Janet Lowry in this NYT article. AC isn’t mentioned, so I figured you might have missed it! www.nytimes.com/2025/10/21/b...

University of Arizona also rejects the Trump administration's "Compact" 💪 president.arizona.edu/news/update-...

Moreover, I have recently been awarded an ERC starting grant towards the project GETGOV to work further on this, so expect more data on cabinet members in the future. I am currently hiring two PhDs and two postdocs: www.jobbnorge.no/en/available... www.jobbnorge.no/en/available...

This whole thread describes an ambitious and interesting data source, but this post caught my eye. We’ve known that our deregulated campaign finance system correlates to having fewer working class MCs, but seeing it up against a country with a different system is pretty stark.
