What We Owe to Caregivers (SSIR) Laura Mauldin's In Sickness and in Health examines the plight of family caregivers and the ableism that causes them to suffer their burden alone.

Incredible review of my new book IN SICKNESS AND IN HEALTH in the Stanford Social Innovation Review by @mcgowankat.bsky.social "Her thesis in a nutshell: Instead of functional systems, we have The One." ssir.org/books/review...

My kids have measles, there are no jobs, and the country is at war. But at least now I can buy raw milk with my HSA card.

Donald Trump is changing how men understand masculinity | LSE United States Politics and Policy Between 2018 and 2025, Trump supporting men were more likely to feel even more masculine.

I wrote up some of the conclusions from my recent Politics and Gender article for the LSE blog: Donald Trump is redefining how US men see their masculinity.

The Constitution made the American presidency. Trump has rejected that tradition The thing about a Constitutional order is that you're either in or out

I tried to break down the specifics of Trump's unconstitutional presidency.

I just spent hours in the last week developing a class session to explain immigration debates to my students. Did I have to ? Nope. Could’ve just used the same old. I don’t think the consulting firms or the legislators anticipate this kind of β€œirrational” behavior.

Right: I left a good job, spent 6 years working at subpar income , and worked my way up. I’m not throwing that away just bc I got tenure.

Multidimensional Constructions of Target Groups and Their Political Implications: The Case of ImmigrantΒ (Il)Legality Multidimensional Constructions of Target Groups and Their Political Implications: The Case of Immigrant (Il)Legality By Kirill Zhirkov, University of Virginia, and Lauren Van De Hey, Utah State University Social construction theory postulates that policy outcomes depend on whether target groups are imagined by the public as deserving or undeserving. However, recent evidence demonstrates that the constructions in question are contentious rather than uniformly shared.

Cincinnati enquirer headline about how Ohio depends on immigrants for growth

Cincinnati enquirer headline about how Ohio depends on immigrants for growth

Love and support you always, Cincinnati Enquirer (support local media), but esp today

This is a Midwest daily paper. About as middle of the road as you can get

& they understand that this is an objective, straight news headline, in the context of a planned Trump/GOP onslaught in Springfield, etc

Every social theory undergirding Trumpism has been broken on the steel of Minnesotan resolve. The multiracial community in Minneapolis was supposed to shatter. It did not. It held until Bovino was forced out of the Twin Cities with his long coat between his legs.

The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesiveβ€”because of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about β€œWestern civilization,” while armed brutes try to tear it down by force.

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significantβ€”though not finalβ€”victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong.
