**New Pub** on #Trump and #MAGA: a #Epstein driven split in the making? Thanks to @democracyeditor.bsky.social and @us.theconversation.com for publishing! theconversation.com/why-maga-is-...
theconversation.com
Why MAGA is obsessed with Epstein − and why the files are unlikely to dent loyalty to Trump
President Donald Trump’s base has supported him through countless controversies. But they split from him over the release of the Epstein files. Why does MAGA care so much about this issue?

Since the mid-1980s historians have known that the Home Insurance Building in Chicago was not the first skyscraper. Yet the public didn't get the message. Why is there such a big disconnect? The answer is revealed my latest pub. in the J. of Urban History. doi.org/10.1177/0096... @sasn.rutgers.edu

Just out – my @theconversation.com piece noting that #Trump 's remarks about #WhiteGenocide in #SouthAfrica are really about U.S. #immigration and the #GreatReplacement conspiracy theory – as well as distraction from his failures to deliver his promised #goldenage theconversation.com/trumps-white...

Two Rutgers University professors — frustrated by the Trump administration's cuts to research funding and efforts to dictate policy on some campuses — wrote a “mutual defense compact” that calls for Big Ten schools to support each other against pressure. Their effort is gaining steam.
