How are contemporary cleavage structures stabilized in times of declining mass social and political organizations?
In this new paper with @davidattewell6.bsky.social @bjpols.bsky.social, we suggest that homogeneous social (educational) networks provide part of the answer.

This is such a pernicious piece of disinformation I got out of bed to type this thread with a real keyboard. First off I strongly recommend against withdrawing your money from a bank because TikTok told you to. It's a giant waste of your time. Second: don't trust a man that drinks blue Gatorade Zero
@peark.es is it true are the banks out of money? Should we run to the bank and withdraw our money?

Yes, it's true. If we had a SCOTUS that followed the law & constitution, & electoral/legislative institutions that were actually representative, you'd be a permanent minority. Of course, the option to compete for the median voter by not holding extreme unpopular policy views would remain available.
Johnson: "If they had no filibuster, they would pack the SCOTUS. You'd go from 9 to 17 or however many liberals they could pack. You would make DC & Puerto Rico into states, which would give 4 additional Democrat senators & make us a permanent minority. You'd see massive restrictions of 2A rights"

@lenorepalladino.bsky.social on how unregulated private credit funds can affect U.S. retirement accounts:
Risks escalate for U.S. retirement plans due to unregulated private credit funds and new rules opening them up to retirement savings accounts
Private credit funds heighten financial risks for average Americans investing their retirement savings in these unregulated banking vehicles.

Is it maybe because the accomplishments include dividing his party’s power in the state senate to aggrandize himself, famously hating the city he wants to govern, refusing to fund the MTA, killing lots of people’s peepaws, and then resigning in disgrace?
Former N.Y. Gov. Andrew Cuomo has a long list of accomplishments, many of them progressive. In the race for New York City mayor, that experience hasn't given him the boost he wanted. n.pr/49uczOs

Complicity of liberal institutions with the crackdown on student protest paved the way for the crisis of academia. To defend our work we must sever the link with the security state. Come join us at U of C tomorrow, where we will discuss how to confront the hiring of the inveterate liar John Kirby.
