Yana van der Meulen Rodgers, Professor of Labor Studies at Rutgers University, has written an important piece about Larry Summers and the barriers to women in economics more broadly:

Larry Summers’ sexism is jeopardizing his power and privilege, but the entire economics profession hinders progress for women

In 2024, only about 1 in 3 newly minted economics Ph.D.s were women.

The U.S. government wants to ban TikTok out of concern that user data is going to China. They demand TikTok be sold to a U.S. owner. This would mean instead of data possibly going to China, it would be in U.S. hands. How about making sure user data is private, period?

How does one get a Fulbright fellowship to conduct research about Ukraine when a war means no such funding is possible? You apply to teach and research in Moldova, instead - just a three-hour road trip to Odesa. Made it through Round 1 and now it heads to Chisinau for further review.

In my sociology classes, I use Santa as an example of a cultural ritual that is creepy out of context. An old man obsessed with children sitting on his lap, who laughs strangely, asks if they've been naughty, and then breaks into their houses is cause for legal action, not treats. The kid knows.

I'm a social scientist, so I get it. But it still strikes me as depraved when I see a survey question gambling on the rights of the most vulnerable.

Who woulda thought? Let's hug Republicans and the "center" more. Fire all these high paid out of touch consultants. Just useless.

If @HouseGOP really wanted to protect women, they'd release the Ethics Committee report on Matt Gaetz' alleged sex trafficking - not try to ban their colleagues from using the bathroom. Stop the bigotry and release the report.

Cascade PBS is airing a documentary tonight that details the abuses of Hurst and Son, LLC a corporation owning over 70 mobile home communities in WA state & 6 mobile home communities where I live and teach in Moscow, Idaho. I am quoted in the accompanying article. www.cascadepbs.org/investigatio...

Priced Out: Fear and resistance in WA mobile home parks

The Cascade PBS documentary explores how one ownership group has bought up communities statewide and raised rents, straining low-income residents.

As an introduction, thought I would let folks know that my book Trailer Park America: Reimagining Working-class Communities has been out for close to a year. It is an environmental, community action story about slow violence in a mobile home park that eventually closed.

A lot of people responsible for poor decisions are on a press tour right now because if they didn’t, people would rightfully be questioning THEIR leadership and they know it. It’s weak even by normal left-punching standards. Zero evidence more Liz Cheney would have won this. The opposite, actually.

The Trump admin is shaping up to be the biggest dumpster fire in history. If this was being done by the Dems, the Republicans would be hysterical on Fox and clutching pearls. BTW reps; enjoy, power will change hands someday. Better hope they are bigger men than you.

I know we live in a corporate Oligarchy, but I've never seen it so transparently so.
