I am glad that people realize that Labour‘s electoral strategy is wrong but am surprised by the “are they delusional? how do they keep doing that? what happened?” We haven been arguing against this strategy for years. But resistance was huge among politicians, media, and many in academia.

Studie beweist: Superreiche zahlen weniger Steuern als der Mittelstand Die Zahl der Milliardäre nimmt zu. Gleichzeitig sinken die Steuersätze, die für Superreiche gelten. BMW-Erbin Susanne Klatten etwa zahlt einer Studie zufolge weniger Abgaben als der Durchschnittsbürger.

Derweil die pralle Zitrone:
Academic and research writers are often told to write accessibly. Rarely are we encouraged to write artistically.
Yet scholars like W.E.B. Du Bois, Ida B. Wells-Barnett, and Karl Marx wrote about their data and theories as artists, using literary devices, humor, sarcasm, drama, poetry, and beauty.
à propos affordability: take a look at what serious government investments in renewables can do to a country’s electricity prices. Go Spain.

This city is home to people of countless faiths. But no matter what you believe, one thing unites us: we are all New Yorkers. We will not allow ICE to terrorize our neighbors.

Fascinating to watch a form of populism unfold that does and demands things that are often actually overwhelmingly popular
I believe that there are characteristics of structural change and AI, as yet, does not have them.
I also believe that refusal opens up smart people to conceive of what *is* happening and not what capital *wants* to happen.
Overall, I think our results are:
1. Believable. I think deep down we all know we publish "too many" significant results.
2. Disastrous. Selecting on significance in this way biases results across our whole literature away from zero & it stops us from learning what doesn't work.

ah!! einen anlass um eine meiner lieblings brechtgedichte zu bluiten:
In the US, pronatalism is only nominally about birth rates. It's actually about anti-feminists finding an issue that could be packaged in a way to build a widespread coalition believing *something* must be done. Eventually, when nothing else works, that *something* is rolling back women's autonomy.

I hear it’s almost time for some superb owls! Here’s one from 1508 by Albrecht Dürer.
Post Daniel Laurison @daniellaurison.bsky.social This is a great piece! One of the recommendations is to focus on turnout over moderation, which I 100% agree with. There were steep declines in turnout among low-income voters in 2024; Grumbach & Bonica point to the increased racial gap in turnout to ~11%, income gaps were closer to 30 points. Chart with Turnout on the Y axis & election year (2016, 2020, and 2024) on the X axis. 6 lines, 3 for White, Black, and Hispanic in households making over $100k/year, 3 for the same groups in households making under $30k/year. Overall you can see turnout increasing among higher-income people in all three racial groups, and declining (White and Black) or staying flat (Hispanic) among low-income people; the turnout gap by income is much larger in 2024 than in 2020 or 2016. from 2016 -> 2024: - White $100k turnout goes from 65% to 78% while white under $30k turnout goes from 55% to 49% - Black over $100k turnout goes from 51% to 64% while Black under $30k turnout goes from 48% to 33% - Hispanic over $100k turnout goes from 52% to 67% while Hispanic under $30k turnout stays flat at about 36% (higher in 2020 at 42%).

chart showing family income of voters & non-voters in 2024; people in families earning under $50k/year were over half of nonvoters; more than half of voters had incomes over $70k.
I keep posting these images because they get at a really deep problem - the class divide in political participation.
Those who want our democracy to truly represent all its citizens need to create and sustain real connections with people and communities who do not currently feel represented.

This excerpt from @adamserwer.bsky.social's latest points to something that Alex Pretti's vocation as a nurse brought to mind: What we're seeing in Minneapolis is resistance, but resistance based on care.
I've said before that what we need is a care economy. What we're getting is a care resistance.
“In Spain, the effort to revive Franco’s reputation has been accompanied by ostentatious philosemitism…. This blend of philosemitism and antisemitism has also become a feature of the Trump administration.” —@dankaufman70.bsky.social
"The reason these aspects of our jobs have been so challenging to automate is that they rely on something even more precious than our time: namely, our capacity for scientific decision-making. It is worth considering what we lose when we cede that—and our agency—to machines."
The image is a cartoon featuring a dog wearing a hat, holding a fire extinguisher, and trying to put out a fire in a room. The room has yellow walls, a window, and flames emerging from a table with a mug on it. Despite the situation, the character appears calm while actively combating the fire. The image includes text: "IT'S NOT FINE, AND YOU HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO ACT." The words "NOT" and "RESPONSIBILITY TO ACT" are underlined, emphasizing the message. This comic is a twist on the popular "This is fine"

Since the summer, Trump’s strategy of shifting ICE and the National Guard from city to city magnified this localism. Each targeted jurisdiction has responded with its own character: Protesters gathered to confront ICE en masse in the middle of a Los Angeles freeway, or have danced in frog costumes in Portland, Oregon. With the notable exception of a protest held a month into the federal occupation of D.C., the District’s residents have opted against the large gatherings that the city saw during the Women’s March and the George Floyd protests. Instead, many of them focused on helping one another as neighbors—chasing away ICE agents and walking the children of immigrant parents to school in the morning. “The people getting food to families of migrant neighbors abducted by ICE is resistance,” the D.C. mutual-aid collective Remora House explained. In Chicago, David Black, a Presbyterian pastor whom ICE agents shot with pepper balls, described protests outside Illinois ICE facilities as not “resistance” but “world building”: “We are making ourselves into the world we want to give to the next seven generations.”
One of the big trends in opposition activism during Trump 2.0 has been the localism of protest. This level of organizing is pretty astonishing to watch, and anyone who insists that there haven't been any protests against Trump is simply ignoring it www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
