Please tell your kids, every damn day if necessary, that chatGPT is not a goddamn search engine and you shouldn’t believe a word it says. Tell the adults too, but it’s especially imperative to inoculate kids against this

Florida is effectively forcefully detransitioning all incarcerated trans people. They submitted dozens of trans women to unnecessary and humiliating breast exams and will be replacing HRT with psychotherapy (despite many likely already doing so). archive.ph/pSyq1 www.tampabay.com/news/florida...

🚨 Does elite ideological polarization lead to mass ideological polarization? My latest article in European Journal of Political Research provides **limited** evidence that it is the case. Let's break it down. 🧵

I talked with @citizencohn.bsky.social for this piece on the UnitedHealthcare events and Americans’ anger toward private health insurers, in light of the findings from my research on coverage denials and administrative burden. www.huffpost.com/entry/insura...

The Cold Social Media Reaction To The UnitedHealthcare CEO's Killing Was Not Hard To Predict
You don’t have to feel good about these reactions to a human tragedy to understand why anybody associated with the insurance industry would inspire such hostility.

Dehumanization is a process. This reminds me of Arendt's concept of superfluous wealth using superfluous people as a means of fueling endless expansion. Homeless people are inherently rightless and considered both superfluous and outside of society.
The calamity of the rightless is not that they are deprived of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, or of equality before the law and freedom of opinion—formulas which were designed to solve problems within given communities—but that they no longer belong to any community whatsoever. Their plight is not that they are not equal before the law, but that no law exists for them; not that they are oppressed but that nobody wants even to oppress them. Only in the last stage of a rather lengthy process is their right to live threatened; only if they remain perfectly “superfluous,” if nobody can be found to “claim” them, may their lives be in danger. Even the Nazis started their extermination of Jews by first depriving them of all legal status (the status of second-class citizenship) and cutting them off from the world of the living by herding them into ghettos and concentration camps; and before they set the gas chambers into motion they had carefully tested the ground and found out to their satisfaction that no country would claim these people. The point is that a condition of complete rightlessness was created before the right to live was challenged.These last points are crucial. The fundamental deprivation of human rights is manifested first and above all in the deprivation of a place in the world which makes opinions significant and actions effective. Something much more fundamental than freedom and justice, which are rights of citizens, is at stake when belonging to the community into which one is born is no longer a matter of course and not belonging no longer a matter of choice, or when one is placed in a situation where, unless he commits a crime, his treatment by others does not depend on what he does or does not do. This extremity, and nothing else, is the situation of people deprived of human rights. They are deprived, not of the right to freedom, but of the right to action; not of the right to think whatever they please, but of the right to opinion. Privileges in some cases, injustices in most, blessings and doom are meted out to them according to accident and without any relation whatsoever to what they do, did, or may do.

South Korea appears to have stood the test of its democracy tonight. But it’s also important to remember that this attack was quite sudden and big, which makes it easier to notice and react to, while many other threats to democracy we have seen in other places have happened gradually…

Happy about what is (conditionally) coming with my dear friend @blancobosco.bsky.social. 🥰 In this new paper for @poqjournal.bsky.social we show that people aren't that 'sexually modern' in sexually modern contexts as many may think. Stay tuned for the full story!

We should attack transphobia head-on simply because it is a disgusting ideology, but if that's not enough for you, it's a system of control that stems from a patriarchal assumption about what a woman "should" be whose natural end is rigid gender roles upheld by state violence. Which seems bad!
