I despairingly told my husband that I emigrated from a country that was and still is a Russian stooge into a country that is now a Russian stooge and he said "I'm not saying there's a connection, but..." so that's the support I'm getting.

who told this pampered asshole he has the right to speak to anyone like this?

they think russia is big and powerful because it occupies a lot of space on a map

Dumb as shit-sounding plan proves to be dumb as shit. www.cnn.com/2025/02/24/p...

In today's Atlantic, Jonathan Rauch uses The Assault on the State to highlight a key source and vulnerability of Trump's power. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

John Mearsheimer peddled this nonsense for years and now it being peddled by these Nazi cosplaying wannabes. how can people still consider him a serious scholar is beyond me.

imagine being such a nazi dick that even european nazis are like “ew no”

The Google AI results at the top of searches are so pointless. We have a resource (the internet!) that knows everything, and instead of going to the source, it's like you asked your stupid cousin who is trying to recall the information from a podcast he heard last week.

CPAC too toxic for French far right. Bardella cancels speech after Bannon Nazi salute. Antisemitism the new wedge issue on the far right…🤔 www.barrons.com/news/france-...

faculty need to know that ICE does not have legal access to classrooms and that we are within our rights to deny them access

This is what I mean by news outlets willingly letting themselves get language-policed by the far right. You used to be able to just call this a "Nazi salute." Now it's "a provocative gesture that resembled the controversial salute Elon Musk gave at a post-inauguration rally last month."

First on the chopping block: The federal proofreaders.

Trump Nazis and Republika Srpska Nazis. The Venn diagram of my personal hell.

I was one minute old when I learned about deltiology, which is a study of the history of postcards and I am now a deltiologist and this is the best thing I have ever heard is there a PhD in this I can get as an old person

Dear THEORY section members, Please take a moment to submit nominations for this year’s THEORY section executive committee elections. Self-nominations are welcome. The open positions are: Program Chair, Treasurer, Publicity Officer, and Graduate Student Representative.

To all the therapists out there dealing with patients' anticipatory anxiety and telling them to write down a list of their anxieties and realize how none of them came true... *waves 👋 at fascist everything*

Rep. Pressley: Elon Musk is a Nazi nepo baby

Weird how no one has come up with a catch nickname for Trump like “Genocide Joe.” I guess it’s not cool now.

I just wrote separately to Jon Ossoff, Raphael Warnock and Nikema Williams imploring them to stand up. I am going to lose my mind.

Shoutout to all the straight white women who voted for Trump without realizing that they would be considered DEI hires too.

seeing takes about the aid institutions and their role in imperialism. correct. If someone said "investor-owned hospitals exploit the vulnerable to benefit shareholders" I'd nod. If their followup was "and that's why I'm turning off your mom's dialysis machine" I'd...have some followup questions

Every year @gsqjournal.bsky.social publishes a list of reviewers who helped guide us in the past year. Here is the 2024 list. Thank you! academic.oup.com/isagsq/artic...

i love that in addition to everything else, elon musk is the dumbest asshole on the planet

so this is January 6 all over again, now with 19 year old incels

Any university that voluntarily shutters a DEI program, office or personnel “Because of Trumps Executive Order” is making a PR decision. Not a legal one. Trumps EO does not change anti discrimination law. If anything, the EO is unlawful. Universities should treat it that way.

I'm just a simple country public administration professor so maybe smarter people than me can explain if these options can't work and if others are better, but there is no strategy that involves waiting for something bigger than right now.

🚨New research🚨 Are antisemitism and conspiracy beliefs causally linked? In my new exploratory study, I find that the political right and left both link them, but inversely to one another. doi.org/10.1177/1065...

I spent decades enduring complaints (not just complaints, but also assertions made with much rhetorical authority) that USAID was a cynical tool of US imperialism and an arrogant usurper of local knowledge. You got what you wanted. No more USAID. Let's see how that works out for everyone.

I've assembled a team of the most horrible perverts and criminals you've ever seen and we're going to fix this country

just sent this to my son's high school principal, a wonderful woman who I am sure is going absolutely nuts about what these evil morons are about to do to all our kids and their friends

Final copyediting for my new book arrived and I am stuck at the Acknowledgments section wondering if "do not take on any substantive changes at this stage" publisher instructions mean I cannot take out people I initially thanked but have since come to not want to thank because I find them annoying.

And all of Florida

Oh

everything is awful but this was some larry david-ass shit and i was here for it

Well, I guess we’ll just never know whether it was a Nazi salute or not…
