Institutions can, in fact, stand up to the President.

Jeremy Powell should be given caretaker power after the fall of the regime my lord

crazy that Jerome Powell has more respect for his office and institutional independence than basically every university board in the country

#Firstview: Lucy Right, Jeremy Springman & Erik Wibbels on what happens when foreign governments restrict NGO activity.

They find that donors most committed to democracy promotion back down in the face of restrictive NGO laws.

Thanks so much @sch-ir.bsky.social! I owe you so much for the amazing research you've done on this topic and your excellent comments on this paper.

Wonderful to see this excellent piece out! Congrats @jrspringman.bsky.social!

ah, perhaps instead of pumping millions into endless factional infighting Dem donors could invest in making local Dem organizations genuine civic spaces that can reach people during and between elections

It’s still hard to grasp that there aren’t 4 GOP Reps (who will otherwise be forgotten forever after retiring & likely defeated next year anyway) aren’t interested in going down in history as all-time 🇺🇸 heroes by caucusing with the Dems & giving them the majority to impeach Trump & save the Republic

This is the playbook, folks.

If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.

Do not be quiet in this moment.

Opinion | Why the Texas Democrats’ Walkout Worked

The governors are really making the Democrats in Congress look even more feckless than usual.

The rejection of national unity post-Trump is right on the mark. I study conflict in Africa, and the failure to hold perpetrators of violence accountable is a major factor in renewed conflict. We ourselves are still suffering from our failure to hold the South accountable after the Civil War.

I use Mermaid in Quarto

the people who did this should be afraid.

CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery.

America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons.

Watch and share his message.

As a soon-to-be resident of the Bay Area, I say Booooooooooooooooo!

The Trump Administration Is About to Incinerate 500 Tons of Emergency Food Federal workers warned for months that the high-energy biscuits would go to waste.

This emergency food aid, enough to feed about 1.5 million children for a week, will be incinerated tomorrow rather than distributed in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Another in a long list of Trump's crimes against humanity.

it gets more complicated than this, but the really short version is that the price of money is how much money you have to commit to paying in the future to get money today--which is to say, the interest rate

Personalist autocracies underperform, whereas institutionalised autocracies perform similar to democracies (in terms of economic growth)

I would like Trump's letter to Brazil to live on as one of the important primary source documents of the Trump era, linking trade restrictions in historical memory to impunity for criminal behavior, right-wing nationalist authoritarian politics, coups, domestic illegality, and simple illiteracy.

We must all do our patriotic duty of clicking every link and watching every clip CNN uploads to YouTube about Trump's Epstein cover-up. 🫡 Go login to Facebook for the first time in 7 years and share it with your weirdest family members and most credulous long-forgotten high school acquaintances.

Today I used Claude Code to convert a long completed latex manuscript to quarto. It was done flawlessly on the first try. That saved me hours of work.

I'm doing my patriotic duty by watching every single YouTube clip CNN posts about the Epstein coverup.
