After months of building, the Archiome Commons is up and running. Next step, plastering posters wherever I can and seeing if anyone takes the bait. Fishing for souls.

This is what I imagine when someone talks about Political Science. If only.

Thought experiment:
Imagine all the armchair experts on US domestic politics—including well meaning Europeans—actually knew the real convoluted rules of Congress, the Judiciary, and the Executive branch.And for just a wee moment, let’s imagine voters and journalists knew civics too.

I just created a new blog, and to celebrate I'm doing something I've never done here, creating a proper introduction! I'm a 20 something American #trans woman who's currently researching #polisci and studying #cybersecurity.
I'm very passionate about #politics (I don't know exactly where I land, but somewhere on the far left lol). I've been trying to help build a strong local community where I'm at. Organization & community is one of the best defenses against fascism! As is direct action!
I also really love music, esspecially hiphop. My favorite artists right now are, in no particular order, #Doechii, #SZA, #KendrickLamar, #BillyWoods, #KaliUchis, and #LittleSimz.

"Well, I anticipated a lot of what would happen if Trump were reelected, but I did not anticipate the quick acquiescence of almost every American elite sector. The universities are part of a larger story. In many ways, it started with law firms — or you could say it started with the fact that we no longer have corporations so much as we have megalomaniacal multibillionaire tech bros who operate as individuals — sycophants trying to buy their way in. Musk is the most obvious, but they’re all that way right now. They’re inescapable because they control huge sectors of internet-enabled stuff that everybody needs. In some ways, Musk is the most vulnerable because of Tesla.
The universities are not an exemplary story of collective action, but they’re not as bad as the other elite institutions. I want to be careful here because I’m not sure we know how much informal coordination has been going on among university leaders. Obviously, there has not been a big public thing. That would be very difficult to do — there are so many colleges and universities, and even so many fairly important ones. They’re divided between the overly rich private universities and the major public universities and university systems. This is where Harvard was very important. I think Harvard, like everybody else, wanted to find a way to make a deal, because what nobody anticipated — and I think it’s fair to say that nobody did — was the attack on overhead and the attack on scientific research.
That, along with the attack on international students, could destroy these institutions. University administrators in our era are not profiles in courage. They are picked to go along to get along. They’re also picked for courting donors."

For Plato, the difference between a deplorable tyrant and a worthy king is not a matter of the structure of governance — much less a matter of the centralization of power — but rather a matter of character. Both kings and tyrants exercise absolute control, but tyrants are beholden to their appetites, while kings obey the dictates of reason.

I'm keeping track of candidates in Waterloo Region and adding their contact and social media info as I find it. CBC is one of my sources.
If someone needs a #PoliSci research project, see which parties have the best communications channels, and correlate that with their political leanings...

Really appreciating the cutting tone of this Chrisjen Avasarala-based character prompt I've been crafting for DeepSeek-R1. She doesn't mince words.

"it is possible that a better-informed public would favor a foreign policy that was even more selfish, shortsighted, and immoral, especially if they believed that Chomsky and Robinson’s prescriptions would require them to make costly or painful adjustments."

The U.S. Senate is really ready to be giving up all their power? Can we not rely on them to be a little greedy for their own power? Acquiescing to the President can make them just a rubber stamp, like the russian duma, and effectively powerless.

2/2 "...Or, as Arendt might have put it, we must share the world in common. Feelings like abandonment, fear, anxiety, shame, and love make us vulnerable to one another as human beings, and politicians find ways to exploit these vulnerabilities to their advantage."
