Bio: I'm a fledgling sociologist in poli and econ soc. I use historical and mixed methods. I teach methods, so I'm always looking to up my game. I also do a lot of stuff related to charisma and corruption. I come from philosophy and linguistics, but am mostly converted! I hope you enjoy my work!

Abolish the Senate. I am absolutely dead serious.
Shaheen: "We've heard from a number of our colleagues on the other side of the aisle that they're willing to come to the table, they're willing to work with us once the govt is open to get this done. We've heard the same thing from the White House. So now we'll see if they're really gonna work w/us"

Sign up below to hear @juliango.bsky.social giving the next Racial Justice lecture on January 21st, 2026. Prof. Go will be asking 'How and why have the police in liberal democracies become militarized?'. The answer, he will argue, is to be found in imperialism past and present.

I’m just a small-town political scientist, & it’s still relatively early, but it appears that The Actual Democrats did not Need To Do any of the Things or Learn any of the Obvious Lessons that Ezra Douthglesias said they Must Do & Learn.

Mamdani will not only win but likely clear 50% in the highest turnout mayoral election in NYC since 1969. He's an absolute Rockstar with a get out the vote machine that should be the model for Democrats everywhere.

Remember when Aaron Swartz downloaded JSTOR archives that he had full legal rights to download and the FBI hounded him literally to death for it? Anyway,
NEW: Common Crawl, the massive archiver of the web, has gotten cozy with AI companies and is providing paywalled articles for training data. They’re also lying to publishers who have asked for material to be removed. “The robots are people too,” CC’s exec director told us when we asked about this.

Common Crawl claims to provide a public benefit, but it lies to publishers about its activities.

I don’t disagree that Ben Shapiro is trying to kick Carlson out. But I still think the analogy here is fights between White Citizen’s Councils and the Klan. On most points, these folks agree. But the establishment prefers their bigotry thinly veiled and this is harder to maintain in the Trump era.

billionaires have invested in media not because they support journalism but because they want to control it. there is only downside to a free press for people with that level of wealth. journalism is a great equalizer and they don’t want us to be equal.

Backed by the Heritage Foundation and Big Tech, KOSA will force everyone to upload their ID to access the internet. In an age when Palantir has direct ties to ICE, where technofascists are in power and want to eliminate and censor everything, we CANNOT allow KOSA to pass.
It NEEDS mass pushback.

🚨‼️As of yesterday KOSA is at 64 cosponsors with @vanhollen.senate.gov + @kim.senate.gov - who claim to support LGTBQ+ rights but are clearly okay with supporting legislation that’ll censor us off the internet- newly signed on.
