Political Scientist @DukeU. Here only my views
🚨 New partnership 🚨 King's has signed a Memorandum of Understanding for a 1+1 Master’s programme between King’s College London and the University of Barcelona. Students will study in Barcelona and London - bringing together two fantastic academic environments. ⬇️ www.kcl.ac.uk/political-ec...
💬 Dedicarse conscientemente a desinformar y tergiversar -en contra de toda evidencia- debería estar severamente penado y, sobre todo, debería producirnos a todos el mayor de los rechazos. Es una vergüenza lo que hacen algunos periodistas, algunos políticos y algunos expertos.
I am begging Democratic leadership to recognize that funding and legitimizing your authoritarian opponent’s secret police is a bad idea. This should not be a difficult concept.
Top Democrats decline to say if they would rein in ICE after Minnesota shooting
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries denounce the killing but offer no concrete pledges

Minna coluna no @nexojornal.bsky.social é sobre como a lição de democracia do Brasil não parou no julgamento dos golpistas: a reação popular que enterrou a PEC da Blindagem e freou a anistia mostra que os políticos brasileiros ainda têm que temer os eleitores... www.nexojornal.com.br/colunistas/2...
O Brasil continua dando lições de democracia
Reação negativa da sociedade civil à anistia e à PEC da Blindagem foi fundamental para comunicar aos senadores que seguir os seus pares da Câmara não era a melhor opção

Not being allowed to say that the government is becoming authoritarian would be a pretty good sign that the government is already authoritarian.
Don Moynihan@donmoyn.bsky.social · 11mo agoEasy to see how demonizing those who engage in nasty political rhetoric can quickly extend to suppressing broader dissent toward Trump. On Fox News, Donald Trump Jr. falsely argued that political violence was only coming from the left, before saying: donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-worst-...
this documentary is so good and so important and it is embarrassing no one in America will distribute it

These two things might seem unrelated, but together they help distill the workings of competitive authoritarianism. When the opposition loses, it gets blamed on their having terrible leaders, but part of why they have terrible leaders is bc any rising leader is hounded by the ruling party.
Nearly 600 economists, Nobel Laureates sign open letter supporting due process for Lisa Cook and Federal Reserve independence for the good of our economy and democracy. Great work from @tderyugina.bsky.social organizing such a quick response. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
Over 450 Economists Back Cook, Fed Independence in Open Letter
Prominent economists are rallying behind Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook after President Donald Trump moved to fire her based on allegations that she committed mortgage fraud.

If you want to put back statues and memorials and names of Confederate traitors while tearing down museum exhibitions on slavery because they don't show the greatness of the nation... the nation whose history you're celebrating is whiteness. The kind of nationalist you are is a white nationalist.
I was the AEA's President Elect as the first Trump term began. We worried about government statistics then, and appointed a committee that included members (such as Google's Chief Economist) who might be in a position to help make reliable statistics available if the government went dark. #econsky
