This is a mindblowing data source that allows you to search your family's history of NSDAP membership with a few clicks. I was not prepared for the feelings it triggered-but I appreciate the conversations I had and that I will have in the aftermath of my search catalog.archives.gov/id/12044361

There has been an increasing sense in Minneapolis that we are on our own, that our elected representatives are unwilling and/or unable to take action to get these murderous Nazi thugs out of our community. I really hope that changes today. The time for pleading TV hits ended weeks ago.

Thanks for the clear words from the NYT

The revelations about Summers & Epstein reflect a profession that has tolerated exclusionary norms and hostility toward women for decades. The discipline cannot claim credibility while ignoring its own misogyny. We need to enforce codes of conduct and prioritize accountability.#Econsky

Forthcoming in the AER: "Why is Workplace Sexual Harassment Underreported? The Value of Outside Options Amid the Threat of Retaliation" by Gordon B. Dahl and Matthew Knepper. www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=...

Why is Workplace Sexual Harassment Underreported? The Value of Outside Options Amid the Threat of Retaliation

(Forthcoming Article) - Why is workplace sexual harassment chronically underreported? We hypothesize that employers coerce victims into silence through the threat of a retaliatory firing. To test this, we estimate how two external shocks which reduce workers’ outside options—unemployment rate increases and sharp cuts to unemployment insurance benefits—affect the selectivity of sexual harassment charges filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. We find that both shocks increase selectivity, which implies an increase in underreporting. Bolstering these findings, anonymous Google searches for “sexual harassment in the workplace” (total prevalence) spike relative to charges filed (reported prevalence) during the Great Recession.

This is all just being said out loud now on the air on Fox “News”, instead of away from the cameras like before. That’s what’s changed. They’re testing the response and normalizing the idea at the same time.

Let me say what the President won't: Domestic violence is not okay. It's immoral, illegal and abusive, and no real man is okay would do it, approve of it, or minimize it.

Phil Lewis@phillewis.bsky.social · 11mo ago

Trump minimizes domestic abuse during a talk at the Museum of the Bible: "Things that take place in the home, they call crime ... If a man has a little fight with the wife, they say this was a crime, see?"

Putin is an authoritarian who won his last election with 87% of the vote and murdered his main political rival.

Trump: "Vladimir Putin said something- one of the most interesting things. He said 'your election was rigged because you have mail in voting. It's impossible to have mail in voting & have honest elections.' He said that to me because we talked about 2020. He said, 'you won that election by so much'"
