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...

Trump's higher ed ransom note is here - everyone would have to acquiesce to their unprecedented demands or not be "given priority for grants," plus they can demand "reimbursement" for "violations" www.wsj.com/us-news/educ...

A mechanism to enforce fealty. An attack on academic freedom and democracy

Not being allowed to say that the government is becoming authoritarian would be a pretty good sign that the government is already authoritarian.

this documentary is so good and so important and it is embarrassing no one in America will distribute it

Congratulations to both Catherine and IE !!

We are super excited that Catherine de Vries will join IE University as Full Professor of Political Science, Chair of our Department, and Vice Dean at IE's SPEGA in January.

We look forward to having her as a colleague and leader in our growing department!

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.
