🚨NEW PUBLICATION🚨 in Science Advances. We meta-reanalyze 100 conjoint experiments to assess which immigrants citizens prefer around the world. Our evidence reinforces existing findings, identifies novel insights, and provides a basis for future research 1/n www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

The Trump Administration has set out to make life as hard as possible on African Americans generally and Black people in Virginia specifically. The message has been received loud and clear, evidently.

1 in 10 eligible voters in the US are naturalized citizens. While born abroad, the vast majority of these "new" Americans have been here a long time: 92% have lived in the US for at least 11 years, including 73% who have lived here for at least 21 years. www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...

Social scientists have lent our names to calls for electoral system change and rule of law, because of the findings of our disciplines. We should do the same for anti-trans ads, which have dubious benefit and demonstrable harm. My latest at GP/BP goodpoliticsbadpolitics.substack.com/p/social-sci...

Many comments on the great election victories in Brazil and Serbia state that the authorian right is in decline or that voters have rejected far-right authoritarianism. That is a wrong interpretation of what happened. Progressive movements mobilized and beat the authoritarian right. That's different

This is a great paper. We had the amazing @hakeemjefferson.bsky.social speak at CITAP & his work asks very basic questions about Black Americans and politics that polsci somehow 🤔 never asked. The methods are always rock solid & the answers always illuminating.

One of the ways capitalism has poisoned Americans’ minds is the idea that if you have the means, you can outsource the unpleasant parts of parenting like diaper changing. I guess technically that’s true, but hands off parenting isn’t parenting. 😬 sports.yahoo.com/articles/jus...

Just as a private equity firm buys out a corporation and strips it for parts, a consultant class is raiding the Democratic Party and getting “generationally wealthy” along the way New from me and @adambonica.bsky.social newrepublic.com/article/2163...

Norms are eroding and racist rhetoric is proliferating in American politics. Why do white Americans accept this shift? In my book — which is out now with Cambridge University Press — I tackle this question. www.cambridge.org/us/universit...

Does voting Republican mean feeling less Latino? Many Latino Republicans I interviewed valued their ethnoracial background without treating it as a voting obligation. Thanks @scholars.org for editing and pitching: latinonewsnetwork.com/democracy/la...

Cool research

I have a new paper in the Markets & Society journal in which I argue that immigration restrictions, and the violence of ICE & CBP, threaten the basic principles of American liberal democracy. www.marketsandsociety.org/v2i1/immigra...

Sorry I just need to keep making your timeline worse. They ruled it justified that police shot and killed a 1 year-old in his mother's lap because of suspected shoplifting of diapers. RIP Kohen Wiley. www.mississippifreepress.org/police-shoot...

“A common assumption is that PoC are already politically unified in lockstep, colluding to unseat White people from their loosening perch in the racial order… But this view of PoC as allies engaged in sustained collective action to reach shared goals is the exception, not the rule.” 👇🏾

It's a great day for a publication. @povertyscholar.bsky.social and I were part of a great project with great scholars to discuss neighborhoods. We took on the task of contributing to research on what neighborhood power looks like for marginalized communities. www.e-elgar.com/shop/gbp/a-r...

Instead of getting mad at The Atlantic--a magazine entirely dedicated to making you upset--you can read the article linked below that explores the theory that crime is high in the US relative to other OECD nations because our police are risk-avoidant and low-effort despite being higher paid.
