ICYMI: New paper for causal effects with panel data, subsuming other approaches. We generate realistic synthetic data based on commonly studied datasets, showing our method substantially outperforms others and providing insight about what in the data-generating process corresponds to gains.

TRUMP [after spending 5 minutes with Zohran]: surplus value, it’s a very wonderful thing, very wonderful, and they’re stealing it. Can you believe that?
We’re going to be looking very strongly at the bourgeoisie, what they’re up to

new paper by Sean Westwood:
With current technology, it is impossible to tell whether survey respondents are real or bots. Among other things, makes it easy for bad actors to manipulate outcomes. No good news here for the future of online-based survey research

Vous trouvez la justice dure avec #Sarkozy?
Faites l’expérience (très troublante je vous assure) d’assister à une audience de comparution immédiate.
En région parisienne, il y en a tous les apres midi dans les tribunaux de Paris, Bobigny ou Créteil.
C’est terriblement sévère.

Extensive interview with Mahmoud Khalil on his vision of free Palestine, ICE terror and fleeing Assad regime.
"What shocked me at very beginning, when I was kidnapped [by US immigration], was just how reminiscent that was to cases I witnessed in Syria,” he says.

Mahmoud Khalil on exile, liberation and Ice detention: ‘It was a clear act of cruelty’
His grandparents survived the Nakba and he fled Assad’s Syria. Khalil is no stranger to political persecution, but not even Trump’s crackdown can silence him

From the Brown settlement. Everyone who signed off on this is a coward and an idiot and should have it follow them the rest of their lives. They are complicit in a censorship regime that has been and will be compared to the Red Scares.

A fantastic example of attempting to sidestep the entire issue.
It's not that people "have changed their minds". It's that the people with a platform who used it to provide rhetorical cover for grotesque crimes are now trying to quickly wipe their hands of culpability and rewrite history.

New article out in World Politcs. We analyze how different groups react to varying programs of social democratic parties. We find less trade-offs than often assumed. Generally, more left-progressive programs increase support among social democratic potentials
