We've probably learned more about American politics from the ANES than any other single data source. The same is true for the GSS and sociology. Both of these are gone if Congress acquiesces to these NSF cuts.

Not on X, so I write about Rufo less though I am sure he is still destroying lives. On here, he usually pops up when a media actor presents him as a good faith defender or meritocracy or some such. Rufo's great gift has been to state publicly he will lie to co-opt these people and succeed.

When I get down about what has become of journalism, of speaking the truth, I think of Jamal. I lost my Washington Post job. Jamal lost his life. Both of us — all we wanted to do was write and help people.

If you're wondering why schools like Cornell sweep this shit under the rug it's because they are afraid of opening up the rape and sexual assault can of worms at a place where the faculty itself is often packed with pedos and perverts

As a pragmatic centrist, I read the Niemöller poem differently. After each group mentioned I pencil in what percentage of the population they are, and if it’s a small number I cross off their names as disposable. Poetry is fine but math wins elections!!
