Another way to put this: Musk and his twerps have exposed us to pandemics, broken science, stolen all your data, endangered the U.S. payments system, threatened air traffic control, and cut off HIV medication to 20m people in order to save ::checks notes:: 2/10th of a percent of the federal budget.

🧵Who is opposing the Trump administration? I analysed 76 actions of the administration since inauguration and then searched for meaningful opposition to each. I grouped the types of opposition and considered what we can learn from both them & actions where opposition has been lacking 1/24

Thanks, @socioinquiry.bsky.social! One takeaway from it that I want to highlight is that we found some evidence that Trumpism normalized Sinophobic expressions against Chinese Americans among some Korean natives in Korea. Looking forward to seeing more work on transnationalization of hatred.

Qualitative researchers and methodologists, what’s your favorite book for teaching or introducing the importance of (alternative) casing in qualitative studies, especially as recent standards emphasize theorizing findings? I voted for Krause's Model Cases, but it may feel too abstract for some.

James Ferguson, a guiding light in the anthropology of southern Africa, has died. His prose and analysis offered a model of clarity and insight. He was only 65. Very very sad.

This is a useful (but day-ruining) post on the current situation (it’s a self-coup), including a list of likely outcomes (civil war is possible, but unlikely). Also, @liberalcurrents.com is clear-eyed and becoming part of my daily reading rotation. www.liberalcurrents.com/is-it-a-coup/

Sociologists: when prepping to submit to ASR, do you follow journal instructions and put the tables in the back, or do you listen to all the reviewers complaining on social media and embed the tables in the text? Asking for a friend. (A little comic relief from DC events.)

Lead story in @nytimes.com tonight speaks to one small way protests help shape national discussion: photos. Without protest, how would a news org visualize this debate? Treasury, computers, DOGE? Many feature Musk smiling. Here we see the drama of public opposition, which also helps justify story.

A very clear statement of what is happening to science right now. And on the social science side: "This cuts across economics, psychology, sociology. In all these fields, there are whole chunks of the discipline that may just not be possible to carry on anymore."

Part of what's so scary about the Trump admin's threats to ignore judicial orders is that the courts lack the ability to effectively sanction agencies for disobeying the law. If you haven't read Parrillo (2018) on governmental disobedience as the "endgame of administrative law," now's the time.

I'm blushing. "To older readers, the book will evoke memories of 1970s classics in industrial relations and industrial sociology like Working for Ford, Strike at Pilkington’s and Grunwick. ... Like its predecessors, this book deserves to become a classic."

A mind-boggling fact: Identical twin correlations in schooling are nearly identical in egalitarian Sweden and the less-egalitarian U.S.—around 75%! That means three-quarters of schooling differences can be traced back to family background 🤯 #sociology Tab. 2: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

If you missed today's talk, you can watch it here. Together, @epopppp.bsky.social and @abenewman.bsky.social provided a framework for thinking about the current moment, and it's risks to our financial system and our democracy.
