Let's start with a student describing her segregated school:
"The school felt temporary. Built like a warehouse with aluminum siding . . . I had a slipshod education"
The twist? The student is white, and her school is private.

I am always bummed when I see Islamaphobia coming from the Jewish community. Every conversation I have had about religion with a Muslim colleague or friend has only highlighted our similarities or deepened my understanding of our shared stories.

Hassett went on TV and claimed you can’t trust the economic data anymore because all the recent revisions are partisan.
A bald-faced lie.
Every serious economist still in this administration should resign. They are actively underminding the US economy by lending their credibility to this horse****

PSA: Hiring committees will look for your JMP on your website (both because it might be updated there and because job application portals are clunky/frustrating). If you're on the academic job market this year and haven't posted your full paper draft on your website yet, it is time!

Hey Econ Job Market candidates, ESPECIALLY those of you who haven’t gotten (m)any interviews yet: You’re doing great. You’re thisclose to being a doctor. Your worth as a scholar and economist is not what hiring committees are looking at. And, most importantly you’re going to be okay.
