More interestingly, the finding wasn't about the existing base that dislikes the extreme right. It was about potential extreme-right voters--they also were more swayed by forceful attacks on the party than by concessions

A further review of court filings since our initial story shows Cuni has been involved in a series arrests deemed illegal by federal judges, and in some cases he lied in sworn testimony about them.

I was at an academic workshop earlier this week and a senior scholar presented a whole paper on this, based on testing messaging against extreme-right parties for what worked. This is basically what they found

Something I said at an event last week and think I'll keep using: a commitment to good-faith dialogue does not require naivete. We are not obligated to treat sophistry with respect, or to ignore when someone declares us the enemy and tries to harm us.

I spoke with @nature.com on the US Administration's new $100,000 tax on international students who stay to work. I estimate that the tax will sharply reduce the use of Optional Practical Training & thus talent inflows to the US economy. My estimates in this new paper —> www.iza.org/publications...

Pillay is really well known to people who advocate for & study international human rights; she also couldn’t be more different in some ways than last year’s winner. Selecting Pillay, I imagine, is a way to underscore the value of defending human rights in an increasingly regressive, repressive world

This elderly woman in Saratov took offense at a Dobby figurine in the window of a cafe, saying it’s impermissible to insult Putin, esp on his birthday and with a war on. She threatens to call the police. The barista explains it’s a Harry Potter figurine but the woman insists he looks like Putin.

But we're in a time in the world when no one really wants to do anything so boring as "pay to support the institutions that do the hard dull work of developing knowledge." And when I say "no one" I don't just mean the fascists. Slopulism is everywhere and everyone wants the fast easy answer.
