Except for religious studies, the graduates of these "loan ineligible" majors are disproportionately women. Fans of this policy have probably never considered that social worker, cosmetician, teachers aide, etc might be low-paying jobs *because* women do them. newrepublic.com/post/213446/...

New GENDER GAP: In 2020, Republican men were more than two times as likely than Dem men to see callout culture as "unfair punishment" (68% vs 27%). By 2025, they'd converged almost exactly (43% vs 45%). I wrote about it for Gender Gap. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Interesting read for the Pol Com crowd, links to a study of AI-enhanced search results ahead of Scotland’s parliamentary election - errors include the date of the election, the need for voter ID, hallucinating a candidate, and invented scandals.

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!

When I was back home I spent an afternoon volunteering at the food bank my mom helps run. It’s in a mid sized Midwestern city. It was pretty eye opening. These are people who are really reliant on the social safety net that the BBB slashed. Here’s a list of observations 1/x

I am incredibly proud that my book, co-authored with Andrea Aldrich, is published. Using an original party leadership dataset from 11 parliamentary democracies, Andrea and I show that women candidates face a glass ceiling for leadership and quickly sink once elected (the quicksand theory).
