@stephenvaisey.comReposted by @ishaantharoor.bsky.socialBTW this means no funding for GSS, ANES, or PSID. GSS 2026 is in the field now, but then it looks like that's it. Devastating for social science.

@ishaantharoor.bsky.socialIn Trump 1, people on this app got correctly ridiculed for using Harry Potter terms to caricature MAGA. Now the West’s far right literally speaks like the Dark Lord’s followers
@rimaanabtawi.bsky.socialReposted by @ishaantharoor.bsky.socialDonald Trump Returns to the U.N. Amid the Collapse of the Old Order
Trump is at the heart of this geopolitical moment, catalytic in his alliance-fraying bullying, unprovoked warmongering, and protectionist demagoguery.

@ishaantharoor.bsky.socialAs a New Yorker who has lived in DC for the past twelve years, I now find myself utterly desensitized to judging NYC neighborhoods when back in the city.

@ishaantharoor.bsky.socialThis week's column in the @newyorker.com: In the face of Trumpist aggression, what if Canada joined the E.U.?

@ishaantharoor.bsky.socialI assume many will see my latest @newyorker.com column as churlish and grumpy. Fair enough. I am a lifelong Argentina fan, like tens of millions also from the Global South. But this is not the team that stirs my childhood nostalgia
