The Democratic Party’s reaction to their candidate having a bad debate substantially outpaces the Republican Party’s reaction to their candidate being convicted of multiple felonies, held liable for rape, and owing judgments in the hundreds of millions for defamation and fraud.

I don’t think we are! I think they are going to flail around, discover every plausible replacement polls as bad or worse and that doing so would violate every principle of the recently rewritten party bylaws bsky.app/profile/dana...

Well we’re about to find out what the unrealistic way to do it is

Happy new year! I'm catching up on academic reading and wanted to flag an important new piece from @jacobhacker.bsky.social and collaborators on the current Democratic coalition and its focus on economic vs. social liberalism. Gated link: www.cambridge.org/core/journal... 1/

Now that they've ousted the black female head of an Ivy League university, I'm sure the far right will continue its good-faith campaign against antisemitism and academic ethics violations.

Rayne Fisher-Quan once described the post-MeToo outrage (think Depp/Heard) as "a material backlash to a movement that was never allowed to be anything other than symbolic" and that's true of a broad swath of social change we've seen over the last decade.

My unified theory is the internet allowed marginalized groups to challenge institutions that were previously able to ignore them, but many of these institutions just got better at talking the talk rather than making the changes sought by those groups, allowing them to easily be pulled to the right.

That wasn’t easy, let me assure you. A lot of people said that having these Nazis on campus was dangerous and that they presented a safety concern for members of minority groups who felt directly threatened.

Has anyone analyzed changes in household purchasing power net of gov transfers? Wondering if the cash subsidies during the pandemic being stopped helps reconcile rising real wages with households' sense that there is an affordability crisis.

Consumer prices rose 3.2% over the year on average. Among Americans employed both now and a year ago: - hourly wage growth averaged 6.7%, so an hour of work buys an average of 3.5% more now than a year ago www.atlantafed.org/chcs/wage-gr...

I am going to keep saying this because the distinction is important. This is a historically good low unemployment economy with wages rising above inflation. The cause of this is the collapse of the pandemic safety net expansion because of the GOP and Joe Manchin. A great economy is not enough.
