Can't wait for the tourism industry's response to this. Chilling and stupid. US proposes social media disclosure requirement for visitors from visa-free countries - giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/... via @FT

A sobering read on a Sunday morning. Come for the techno futurist plans, stay for "it's already happening". And the closer... Tech elites are starting their own for-profit cities - www.ft.com/content/b127... via @FT

@himself.bsky.social calls it like it is. The World of the Right (that my friends at University of Ottawa have written so eloquently about) appears to have taken over US strategy. open.substack.com/pub/programm...

Amazing start to our workshop on Navigating the Complexities of the Clean Energy Era. @carnegiecorp.bsky.social is a terrific host. @siecenter.bsky.social @josefkorbelschool.bsky.social

Wow. Puts the affordability demand in a whole new light. www.yesigiveafig.com/p/part-1-my-...

On a whim, with little to no review, using tax payer money (while cutting programs to the bone)... what could go wrong? www.nytimes.com/2025/11/25/u...

There’s still time to call senators. Let me explain. Sorry not sorry about the cat. He’s also really upset about this deal.

What's next after a hugely successful "No Kings" day? More joyful, patriotic, and peaceful organizing to defend our democracy. Join @indivisible.org and more this evening to be a part of it. www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

🚨BREAKING: The State of Arizona filed a lawsuit accusing House Speaker Mike Johnson of violating the Constitution by refusing to swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva. The plaintiffs argue that Johnson’s delay has deprived hundreds of thousands of Arizonans of representation.

Have to respect not only their intelligence, but their willingness to keep talking even in the face of efforts to intimidate. An important example for all of us in the academy.

Listening to this. SO important.

This story is extraordinary even by 2025 standards. Marco Rubio, the nation's top diplomat, made a deal with Bukele and agreed to renege on informant agreements in a years-long DOJ investigation into MS-13, totally undercutting credibility of such agreements. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

The drone did a better job than I did. *This* is Denver proud.

Denver strong... and even without the thousands marching on the other side!

Reading through the tears.

Important article by @maxboot.bsky.social. I am hearing a great deal of both discomfort (from those still serving) and disbelief (from those now retired). Those who were sure the U.S. military would resist unlawful orders are now much less so. www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state...

Here's hoping @himself.bsky.social is right and universities hold the line. open.substack.com/pub/programm...

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

These are the Trump Administration’s demands on UCLA, in addition to a 1.2 billion dollar fine, as reported by the LA Times today. I must note again that the Trump Administration’s attempt to use title vi to enforce conservative agenda items is flagrantly illegal.

The excerpts I heard from the Cabinet meeting yesterday made me nauseous. @himself.bsky.social made me even more so with this post...I would rather this concept be somewhat less useful. www.programmablemutter.com/p/short-post...

As we approach September, I thought I would repost our ad for an Assistant or Associate Professor in Technology and Global Affairs. Interested? Apply by September 15!

Despite the subtitle @dandrezner.bsky.social gives a hopeful look at how Tufts (and I think many universities) are managing in the face of the Trump assault on higher education. open.substack.com/pub/danieldr...

It is important that we don't become desensitized to the astonishing level of Trump's profiting from the presidency It's illegal, of course, but who will stop him? David D. Kirkpatrick, from the New Yorker, estimates $3.4 Billion in grift. The income sources are in the chart below.

Exactly. They should be speaking loudly and to their local and state lawmakers as well as to the country as a whole. Universities are important economic engines and screwing them up will affect local and state economies - in addition to national competitiveness.

Yup, this is the crime spree I wish everyone was paying attention to.

Check out my colleague and co-author, George DeMartino's interview on the Hale Report. He argues that economists need ethics (maybe so do political scientists). Don't give up when things go quiet a minute in, the sound comes back before long! lnkd.in/gTZ-CzZs

For six months, I've said that threats to economic data have been more collateral damage than intentional harm. No longer. Firing the head of the BLS is five-alarm intentional harm to the integrity of US economic data and the entire statistical system.

Would love to see media attention to the fact that right of center groups like the Pacific Legal Foundation and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce have filed briefs in the case opposing Trump’s tariffs. Counsel in the case @ilyasomin.bsky.social has provided a helpful summary. reason.com/volokh/2025/...

We are! And I am happy to answer questions from any who are interested.

Agreed. The whole post is also interesting but this*aside* is actually a key point.

The @josefkorbelschool.bsky.social is searching for a tenure line position in Technology and Global Affairs at the Assistant or Associate level. I am chairing the committee and happy to talk with anyone who is interested. Please share! jobs.du.edu/en-us/job/49...

I don't think the rigidity of the postwar system was in its liberal DNA, but this is nonetheless a very smart article and I agree that the most optimistic future lies in an embrace of pragmatism and pluralism. www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state...

I am generally a supporter of Polis but JFC. This interview. Just be honest. Stop acting like a slime ball. What's wrong with, "I proposed the bridge, survey respondents rejected the idea, I will listen to them"? coloradosun.com/2025/07/22/j...
