A challenging but ultimately very rewarding essay. Amia Srinivasan on developing a political imagination creative enough to resist oppression and patient enough to explore the psychological development of the oppressed and the oppressors. www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand

You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen

*Everyone has stories like this*

I reached out to AVP and David Grusky was enthusiastic about sharing transcripts for PhD students to work on. But there did appear to be hurdles before they could share the data, at least for now. I ran out of time this fall, but I hope to try this.

I love their work. Some of the bravest folks around.

It’s becoming increasingly clear that the best thing a parent can do for their son is to enroll him in co-ed activities and facilitate friendships with girls from the youngest age possible.

Patriarchy hurts boys. And nothing runs counter to patriarchy like teaching boys to genuinely value girls.

Thank you for sharing this link to provide monthly support to @elfaro.net / @elfaroenglish.bsky.social. I just joined the cause.

I had not seen their 2026 conference announcement. Thanks for posting this. In case you are interested, here is version 1 of our dataset (w/ @kvelasco.bsky.social) of speakers at World congress of Families events since they started in 1997: osf.io/tj68h/files/...

I was lucky to overlap with Brian at the University of Michigan through a mutual friend when he was a law student. It was clear then he was really devoted to making the country a better place for all. He needs our support! I am not surprised in the least to see him leading the way in Chicago.

Rubio promised to betray U.S. informants to get Trump’s El Salvador prison deal To secure U.S. access to President Nayib Bukele’s notorious CECOT prison, Rubio agreed to turn over several MS-13 leaders central to a long-running Justice Department investigation.

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.

The Obama Hope poster, but it's a frog and it says "Hop"

I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

Signe - congratulations!!! You are going to produce some very important research with this opportunity. :) I am thrilled for you!

Or maybe you could teach your kids to treat all people as deserving of respect and dignity. And maybe you could talk to your kids about homelessness, the unaffordability of housing and healthcare, the stigma around mental illness, and why it's not okay to call people crazy.

Really cool, Cassandra. I have been wondering about trying something like this so it is encouraging to hear it is working well for you.

Just emailed you.

Where did you find this list of speakers? Thank you in advance! The youtube video list is pretty good. I want to make sure I am not missing a lot more though... www.youtube.com/@Inter-Parli...

Dr. Titeca, thanks for posting this poster. I see C-FAM and Family Watch Africa sponsored. Did you see any additional conference programs, websites, or posters? I am tracking the speakers and sponsors. I just see this: interparliamentaryforum.org/index.php?pa...

Scholars of political and cultural diffusion take note...this preprint and thread are important. Congrats to the authors on their massive amounts of data & analyses!

Multipanel figure providing an overview of the distribution of reference metrics across the government-to-government citation matrix and to scholarly works.

Who's cited most across borders?

🇺🇸 The U.S. leads gov-to-gov refs by a wide margin. 🇬🇧, 🇩🇪, 🇨🇦, 🇦🇺 follow. Also, 30 countries—mostly Least Developed—were never cited.

📚 Same for academic refs: 17 of top 20 gov-cited countries also top in academia.

🤯 43% of scholarly works include a U.S.-based author.

We feed you.
They hunt us.

📊 Over 9,000+ studies rely on DHS data.

🗺️ The figure below shows decades of global data use. That’s what’s at risk if we don’t act.

With graduation this week, there are hundreds of Harvard students in their graduation regalia with their proud parents from all around the world. Taking photos on the library steps, getting a special dessert in town... I love seeing those parents every year, but especially this year. It's beautiful.

Looks awesome, Daniela. Congrats! Hopefully your findings on public opinion foreshadow changes in actual housework division in the decades to come. I'm optimistic! (At least I am when I ignore the world's existential threats...)

If I get around to this, I will share...but I desperately need a short and sweet video showing how to open finder on a mac, create a new folder and name it the title of the class. Then how to download a file from Canvas and move it from the downloads folder to the new class folder they created.

These are so great. Thank you!

Very useful visualization. Thanks for making this! By chance is it posted on your website or another location online? I would like to use it in my course on Global Inequality (we currently read your team's World Inequality Report 2022!).

Secret Bukele Deal Lies Behind Trump’s El Salvador Deportations Trump asked the Supreme Court Friday to lift the ban on renditions to Bukele’s torture chambers—and an update on the left wing comeback in Ecuador

The Bukele govt sent the US a list of MS-13 leaders in US custody whom they want sent back, because they know about a gang deal with Bukele that Bukele wants to keep secret. Trump already sent one back. Here are the names, all based on Jose Olivares' reporting for @dropsitenews.com:

MS13’s Mexico Program Key to El Salvador Gang Negotiations US authorities have made several arrests that could strike a big blow to the MS13's Mexico Program.

Vladimir Antonio Arevalo-Chavez (Vampiro de Monserrat Criminales). Another member of MS-13's ruling Ranfla Nacional, leader of the gang's Mexico Program and one of those named by DOJ, along with Cruger, of leading negotiations with the Bukele government.
