"The Illegality is Not a Bug, It's a Feature."
Here's the video version (con títulos en español) of last week's podcast episode on illegal lethal boat strikes, featuring WOLA's drug policy program director, John Walsh.
Line graph that shows a blue line of # protests since Trump's 2nd inauguration surpassed, showing these to have exceeded 42k by the end of Jan 2026. A green line counts # of protests during the same time period in Trump's first term and just exceeds 10k.
Overall, we have tallied 4x more protests through Jan 31, 2026 than we had through Jan 31, 2018
Can't make this up...
This looks fantastic. Thank you!
Thank you
A challenging but ultimately very rewarding essay. Amia Srinivasan on developing a political imagination creative enough to resist oppression and patient enough to explore the psychological development of the oppressed and the oppressors. www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...
I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand
You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen
*Everyone has stories like this*
I reached out to AVP and David Grusky was enthusiastic about sharing transcripts for PhD students to work on. But there did appear to be hurdles before they could share the data, at least for now. I ran out of time this fall, but I hope to try this.
I love their work. Some of the bravest folks around.
It’s becoming increasingly clear that the best thing a parent can do for their son is to enroll him in co-ed activities and facilitate friendships with girls from the youngest age possible.
Patriarchy hurts boys. And nothing runs counter to patriarchy like teaching boys to genuinely value girls.
Thank you for sharing this link to provide monthly support to @elfaro.net / @elfaroenglish.bsky.social. I just joined the cause.
I had not seen their 2026 conference announcement. Thanks for posting this. In case you are interested, here is version 1 of our dataset (w/ @kvelasco.bsky.social) of speakers at World congress of Families events since they started in 1997: osf.io/tj68h/files/...
BREAKING NEWS: Charis Kubrin, UC Irvine professor of criminology, law & society, wins criminology’s equivalent of the Nobel Prize —
the prestigious Stockholm Prize —for her groundbreaking research on immigration and crime. Congratulations Dr. Kubrin! https://ow.ly/UJ1W50Xqh5u
I was lucky to overlap with Brian at the University of Michigan through a mutual friend when he was a law student. It was clear then he was really devoted to making the country a better place for all. He needs our support! I am not surprised in the least to see him leading the way in Chicago.
This story is extraordinary even by 2025 standards. Marco Rubio, the nation's top diplomat, made a deal with Bukele and agreed to renege on informant agreements in a years-long DOJ investigation into MS-13, totally undercutting credibility of such agreements.

The Obama Hope poster, but it's a frog and it says "Hop"
I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

Signe - congratulations!!! You are going to produce some very important research with this opportunity. :) I am thrilled for you!
Or maybe you could teach your kids to treat all people as deserving of respect and dignity. And maybe you could talk to your kids about homelessness, the unaffordability of housing and healthcare, the stigma around mental illness, and why it's not okay to call people crazy.
Really cool, Cassandra. I have been wondering about trying something like this so it is encouraging to hear it is working well for you.
Just emailed you.
Where did you find this list of speakers? Thank you in advance! The youtube video list is pretty good. I want to make sure I am not missing a lot more though... www.youtube.com/@Inter-Parli...
Dr. Titeca, thanks for posting this poster. I see C-FAM and Family Watch Africa sponsored. Did you see any additional conference programs, websites, or posters? I am tracking the speakers and sponsors. I just see this: interparliamentaryforum.org/index.php?pa...
Scholars of political and cultural diffusion take note...this preprint and thread are important. Congrats to the authors on their massive amounts of data & analyses!
Multipanel figure providing an overview of the distribution of reference metrics across the government-to-government citation matrix and to scholarly works.
Who's cited most across borders?
🇺🇸 The U.S. leads gov-to-gov refs by a wide margin. 🇬🇧, 🇩🇪, 🇨🇦, 🇦🇺 follow. Also, 30 countries—mostly Least Developed—were never cited.
📚 Same for academic refs: 17 of top 20 gov-cited countries also top in academia.
🤯 43% of scholarly works include a U.S.-based author.
We feed you.
They hunt us.
📊 Over 9,000+ studies rely on DHS data.
🗺️ The figure below shows decades of global data use. That’s what’s at risk if we don’t act.
With graduation this week, there are hundreds of Harvard students in their graduation regalia with their proud parents from all around the world. Taking photos on the library steps, getting a special dessert in town... I love seeing those parents every year, but especially this year. It's beautiful.
