“A kid”. The DOGE staffer in question 25 years old & the racist posts date from the ancient past of <checks notes> July & September. “Normalise Indian hate.” This is the vice-president normalising explicit, open, unabashed racism. We are in such a dark place.

this doesn't happen very often! The response to Vance, below, discusses what the fact that you care more about the welfare of your brother than a stranger implies for foreign aid, which is what one of my PhD chapters was about. Here is is: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

My school @ucdpolitics.bsky.social has 2 positions (deadline Feb 21) one in Global Governance, one in Environmental Politics. They're called "Ad Astra Fellows" but between you & me they're basically tenure-track posts. It's a good deal. You get a PhD line & annual €5000 research budget for 5 years.
