Re No10 in Manchester: The historical context of those choices is different, but it's not like Germany having half of its ministries in Bonn and the EU having some of its bureaucracy and the EP in Strasbourg has prevented the radical right from criticising the political project as elitist.

ICYMI my solo article on MENA identity. When MENA Americans aren’t given a “MENA” option on forms, they answer identity-related questions on politics more strongly (eg higher end of the scale) than if“MENA” had been added. Having the group label or not changes the average response!

I'm going to do a thread of all the references and context behind Bad Bunny's performance and what it means for Puerto Ricans to see this on the biggest stage. The opening title screen is a street mural in Puerto Rico that comes to life with footballs as coconuts. Follow along!

A vibrant, wide-angle photo of a colorful outdoor mural promoting the "Super Bowl LX Apple Music Halftime Show." The mural is painted on a long blue wall in a sunlit, tropical setting with real palm trees and bright pink bougainvillea flowers cascading over the top.

The artwork features a playful, surreal collage of cultural and football-themed elements:

    Central Text: The Apple Music logo in bold yellow and red 3D lettering is flanked by "SUPER BOWL LX" above and "HALFTIME SHOW" below.

    Iconic Imagery: Large illustrations of a golden trumpet, pink sunglasses, maracas, dominoes, and a cup of coffee with a musical note in the foam.

    Football Elements: Brown footballs are depicted growing on palm trees like coconuts and resting on the ground.

    Foreground: A young girl in a yellow dress walks along the sidewalk in front of the mural, passing a small goalpost illustration where a green parrot is perched.

The overall aesthetic is warm, festive, and celebrates a fusion of Latin-inspired culture and American football.

Während wir auf Trumps geopolitische Eskapaden blicken, geht unter, was gerade im Inneren der USA geschieht: In Internierungslagern werden Menschen getötet. Der neueste, erschreckende Fall ist der des Familienvaters Geraldo Lunas Campos.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

I also hope it makes clear how important it is to just read the papers you are citing (gasp!), and if necessary to develop the methodological expertise to interpret them sensibly.
