Boylan's campaign video reminds me of Ossof's "Epstein class" comment. Interesting -- and potentially quite effective -- rhetorical moves to tie economic and sexual predation together. We should have a world free from both

A side by side of two photos of the same book, being held by each author with a box of more books in the background.

A book never feels real until you hold it in you hands. @profsorelle.bsky.social & I can now confirm that Uncivil Democracy is real! If you care about #peoplepower #housingjustice, #tenantorganizing & transforming our perverse political economy, this is a book for you.

I thought the problem with the Democratic Party was that it had vague off-putting messaging??

like wtf does this slogan mean? i'm not sure i've heard a collection of English words that reeks more of consultant-speak

Ha fair! I'm trying to be nice. But it is not a good paper and I cannot recommend publication in good conscience!

This is ... not good! "Theory" section does not explain how independent and dependent variables are logically linked + other major problems

Delighted to see this paper out in @carlsengames.bsky.social - working with @grattonecon.bsky.social was fantastic; I learned a lot! We develop the argument that technocracy can serve as an intertemporal insurance device for groups who fear their majority status is ephemeral. Because technocrats
