If you went to LASA in Bogota, I hope you had a great time and enjoyed the city! But also, test yourself for Covid.

My new piece on the resurgence of the African bicameral parliament is out! Using a mixed-method approach, I argue that incumbents introduce a second chamber when the opposition has sufficient power in the lower chamber to constrain the executive branch. @comppol.bsky.social @winls.bsky.social

I am seeing a pattern of quite well disciplined pro-Palestine protesters, trained in non-engagement with counter-protestors, getting arrested after "chaos" breaks out instigated by aggressive pro-Israel counter protesters. It happened at UCLA and could happen at U Chicago.

With almost no exceptions, the only violence involved in these protests has been the violence perpetrated upon the protesters – either by police in riot gear, or by counter-protesters, or in some cases, like at UCLA, both. presswatchers.org/2024/05/jour...

As someone who studies government, I want to say as clearly as possible that Trump 2.0 will not be the disorganized shitshow that the first term was. They have a credible plan to govern in an explicitly authoritarian model.

Is there a good place to look up political science journal desk-rejection / time-to-accept turnarounds? Bonus points for comparative politics? I feel like I've not seen anything since this, which is only for T&F. polisky

total lawlessness designed to create chaos and produce "accidental" deaths. also a recipe for causing mass civil unrest.

I asked my class one day. None of the US citizens had any proof of citizenship on them but all the immigrants had their green cards as they are required by law to carry it around. In the 1930s, in Operation Wetback, the US mistakenly deported hundreds of US citizens. www.history.com/news/operati...

Huh. This was my experience, but I haven't seen it laid out before. I was a kid from a low-income family who did very well on tests. My SLAC alma mater for some reason was focused on having the highest percentage of national merit scholars in the country. I doubt I would have gotten in otherwise.

Exactly right. Biden set records for deportations and the right is still screaming that we have "open borders." Stop trying to meet these psychos halfway.
