Harvard disgraces itself every day it continues to bestow the "University Professor" title on Summers
The emails have Summers reporting to Epstein about his attempts to date a Harvard economics student & to hit on her during a seminar she was giving.

The problem was never "cancel culture." The problem is that our elites have no shame. And many are also pretty terrible people

Our @apsrjournal.bsky.social article is now in print! We develop a theory to explain why the public doesn't become more prosocial toward LGBTQ+ people after illegitimate anti-LGBTQ+ violence and provide causal, externally valid, evidence for the theory across 4 studies doi.org/10.1017/S000...

“woke” is when you acknowledge that black people have contributed to the united states
Two panels commemorating the contribution of Black American soldiers towards the liberation of the Netherlands in World War Two have been quietly removed from a cemetery in Limburg. It follows a complaint by right-wing think tank The Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission.

Sam Zacher & I have a paper under review basically to this effect. Among Democrats, renters have distinct left preferences in candidates (e.g. Sanders) and housing reforms (broadly YIMBYism). We find less distinction among Dem renters and homeowners with national social policy prefs.

Democrats mostly campaign on economics.
In addition to @rachelporter.bsky.social's evidence, this is true for the national party's platforms and legislative priorities, and what Dem MCs tweet about, regardless of their district or if they are a Progressive!

centrists will tell you to your face that we all need to abandon identity issues, and focus on kitchen table issues instead and yet when a leftist candidate runs a generational campaign based on kitchen table issues, it's the centrists weaponizing identity politics to smear the leftist.

As an Amelia named after Earhart and incidentally with her same birthday, I do not like Trump's new Earhart interest at all
Fun fact: Mellon is known to be fixated with Amelia Earhart — so if you’ve wondered why Trump has talked about her seemingly out of nowhere, that’s probably a big clue!
