As I start my read of 107 Days, I have to remind myself that 77.3 million people voted for Trump and 75 million voted for Kamala, but 90 million eligible voters didn’t vote at all… 🗳️

Destroying Fed independence is almost the perfect example of latent opinion. Polls won’t tell you the effect on public opinion because most people don’t think about and/or understand monetary policy basics. But if you cause inflation or stagflation, future public opinion will be very disapproving.

Junior faculty and grad students in political science, history, law, and Native American Studies, come take a class with us at the New York Historical Society (and via Zoom) on Native Peoples, American Colonialism, and the U.S. Constitution.

To apply, Institute for Constitutional History: 1/2
Native Peoples, American Colonialism, and the US Constitution
Fall 2025 Session
Presented in person at The New York Historical and via Zoom*

Meeting Dates & Times:
Fridays, November 7 and 21, December 5 and 12, 2025 | 11 am–2 pm ET
Instructors: Maggie Blackhawk, Ned Blackhawk

SEMINAR DESCRIPTION:
As the United States marks the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, this seminar invites a critical examination of a central paradox in American constitutional history: how can a nation celebrate a founding document and constitutional tradition built, in part, on the dispossession of Indigenous homelands? 

From the Founders’ long-standing relationships with Native nations to the grievances lodged regarding ‘merciless Indian savages’ into the Declaration, Indian affairs and westward expansion were foundational to the creation and evolution of the US Constitution.  The Northwest Ordinance laid the “blueprint for empire” for federal imperial expansion from thirteen states clinging to the Eastern seaboard to a nation that stretched “from sea to shining sea,” while the United States Constitution excluded “Indians not taxed” from American polity—in so doing, also codifying the specific subordination of a people by name within constitutional text. 

Despite this deep entanglement, Native history remains marginalized within the fields of constitutional history and mainstream constitutional scholarship.  This seminar explores emerging historical and legal literature that re-centers Native peoples and American colonialism in the narrative of US constitutional development.  Topics include the role of Native peoples and “Indian affairs” in the Constitution’s initial drafting and ratification and the legal architecture of colonial expansion.  The seminar will also explore how centering Native peoples allows for a rethinking of United States constitutional history and American public law more broadly.

Firing and demoralizing feminized jobs as enemies of the state while brazenly bribing men with violent jobs that almost instantly puts them into the middle of middle class is very basic gendered warfare. Fulfilling the manosphere’s promise.

It is insane to me that the government can find money to pay ICE agents increasingly larger sums of money, yet teachers have to buy their own pencils.

Excited to circulate another @caldercenter.bsky.social WP! Another study from my dissertation, w/ @roddy-theobald.bsky.social‬. Using data from WA, we track individual paraeducators to predict exit from the state education workforce. Ungated WP here: ‬ tinyurl.com/3wtfrm2m

This is so, so important: these smaller-in-size regional protests. It's not just big cities! It's people in small towns, too.

Apparently the vibes for the re-release of Reputation (TV) are going to be fueled the President of the United States’ weird obsession with Taylor Swift. 🐍
Screenshot of Donald Trump’s Truth Social post that reads, “Has anyone noticed that, since I said ‘I hate Taylor Swift,’ she’s no longer ‘hot?’”

🚨 Essential Politics of Education Reading 🚨

This piece so perfectly captures how education governance has changed in the recent decades, and it would be particularly excellent for graduate education policy/politics courses!

Proud to share a draft chapter from my upcoming book “The Long Division: How the Politics of Education Became Partisan”

I trace the history of US K-12 school governance, focusing on institutional changes that have made the domain more exposed to partisan conflict

It makes my heart happy that our education research conference is happening at the same time/place as a youth dance competition and a comic con. Great vibes all around.

“What becomes of the University if it succumbs to the demands of a political party or leader that cedes rights of free speech, free expression, and free inquiry? What becomes of our students [of any age] if they are only permitted to think, speak, and be in ways that follow the political winds? “
