In case anyone's interested in the historical track record of these "meat wave" attacks, I have a recent paper on that topic (with Yuri Zhukov)

Spoiler alert: forcing your soldiers to fight isn't a war-winning move

States of Distrust: Science and Politics in America James Druckman presented the Center for Political Studies 2026 Miller-Converse Lecture At the University of Michigan’s most distinguished lecture series on American electoral politics, political scien...

"'If you can increase the diversity of the scientific workforce, there’s some evidence that you can increase the trust in scientists,' Druckman explained... [diversity] encompassing not just race and gender but also rurality, religiosity, and class background."

“Another way to look at this is that billionaires have joined a war on professional administrative class of public servants precisely because of their proximity to formal mechanisms of accountability.”

That part! Everything from documentation to compliance mechanisms to whistleblowing is a threat.

The 2024 election had the largest Black-White turnout gap in more than three decades. It's a crisis, my friends.

If actively seeking to overturn a free and fair election is making allegedly questionable constitutional arguments then Jeffrey Dahmer made allegedly questionable dietary choices.

It shocks me how many businesses still don’t seem to get that Trump’s cultural revolution did not actually happen

Youk-lis! Kap-lah!

Dang, those phone alerts were loud! The SAT is at 8am….

Tracking the Historic Rise of Habeas Cases Filed by Detained Immigrants ProPublica is tracking the historic rise in challenges filed by immigrants claiming their detention is illegal.

The Trump administration’s push for mass deportations has resulted in more than 18,000 challenges in federal court from immigrants claiming their detention is illegal.

We are tracking the increase in these cases:

Orban has not appeared on tv - he sent his chief of staff looking ashen. In the meantime, challenger Peter Magyar appeared on tv to claim that this is a historic day. There are no exit polls in Hungary but here are projections from a respectable researcher based on pre-election polls.

Trump "Truth": The alleged Statement put out by CNN World News is a FRAUD, as CNN well knows. The false Statement was linked to a Fake News site (from Nigeria) and, of course, immediately picked up by CNN, and blared out as a “legitimate” headline. The Official Statement by Iran was just released, and posted on TRUTH, below. Authorities are looking to determine whether or not a crime was committed on the issuance of the Fake CNN World Statement, or was it a sick rogue player? CNN is being ordered to immediately withdraw this Statement with full apologies for their, as usual, terrible “reporting.” Results of the investigation will be announced in the near future. President DONALD J. TRUMP

White House Rapid Response account: "ATTENTION @cnni : As @POTUS just said, Iran’s official statement is linked in his TRUTH below AND posted by the Iranian foreign minister. This alleged statement by “Iran” is a FRAUD! Correct immediately!" [Photo of CNN story citing "a statement from Iran's Supreme National Security Council report by Iranian state media."

Brendan Carr tweet: More outrageous conduct from CNN. Fake news is bad enough for the country, but pushing out a hoax headline in such a sensitive national security moment as this requires accountability. Iran put out an official statement that simply cannot be squared with the one CNN's false headline attributes to them. Time for change at CNN.

Iran's PressTV Twitter account: Supreme national security council: Iran achieved historic victory by forcing criminal US to accept its 10-point plan.

The President, White House, and FCC's Brendan Carr are calling for action -- and implying a criminal investigation -- against CNN for... accurately reporting what Iran's state media shared as a statement from Iran's Supreme National Security Council.

After the Easter tweet, I finally read a CRS report on the mechanics of the 25th amendment...

No real problem with ordinary folks asking about the 25th, but every time a congressman asks for the cabinet to remove a president you should read that as them abdicating their own duty to pursue impeachment through congress

I went on and on about that in class today and now they'll never remember....

Trump warns 'whole civilization will die tonight,' as Iranian official urges human chains around power plants President Donald Trump warned that a "civilization will die tonight" as his threats of strikes on Iranian power plants and bridges loomed ahead of Tuesday's deadline.

Even Fox News is worried:

I guess, in retrospect, “Michigan winning a national championship with a [checks notes] world-level defense” was pretty cliched, but this is some legendary stuff

Class was "Is the US a Democracy?" His grandfather was mayor of Flint, so Trey grew up knowing something about the displacement of locally elected officials via Michigan's emergency manager law.

I've no doubt yours is going to be much better written, Hakeem!

This & the cancellation of Title VI/FLAS funding for foreign language & area studies pose existential threats to the social sciences at every R1 university in the country. And it's been ~total 🦗🦗 from our university presidents/chancellors & a total lack of public collective action.
