🆕 How expanding voting rights shaped politics in India Today on VoxDev, @guilhemcassan.bsky.social (Université de Namur), Lakshmi Iyer (@ndecon.bsky.social @notredame.bsky.social) & Rinchan Ali Mirza (@kent.ac.uk) discuss the expansion of voting rights in India: voxdev.org/topic/instit...

How expanding voting rights shaped politics in India

Voting rights alone did not transform political participation or competition in India, but they did shift government priorities in favour of the newly enfranchised voters.

Worried about losing access to US federal data that may go off-line, or already is? You’re not alone—but duplication isn’t the answer. Many ongoing efforts have already archived key datasets and many more are ongoing. Check out these existing resources and, if you can, support their work. 🧵

The US has a weakness: its groveling, highly internationalized oligarchy Why is it a weakness? Because it’s a tiny number of people, who rely, for their wealth, on accessing foreign markets—thus giving foreign countries sizable power on them It’s now time to use that power 6/x

Female content creators on YouTube received significantly more negative feedback for comparable content. But the removal of public display of dislikes eliminated this gender gap and persistently increased female creator productivity and consumer demand. sites.google.com/view/maritaf...
