Excited that our article on how Nicaraguan protesters used historical framing to launch a mass uprising against the Ortega dictatorship is now up online at Comparative Politics! With amazing coauthors
@KaiMThaler, @Diana_Paz99, and Charly Fowler! ingentaconnect.com/content/c…

Los resultados de la CNE en Venezuela tienen una clara señal de que alguien trabajó hacia atrás desde un % de votos deseado (con 1 punto decimal) hasta el número de votos necesarios para dichos %: porcentajes que terminan con números idénticos más allá del primer punto decimal.👇

It actually makes sense for a former tough on crime prosecutor to go against a convicted felon. It's just natural.

BREAKING: In the first hour since President Biden dropped out, Kamala Harris has raised over $5 million. The energy surrounding Kamala Harris is palpable.

Throwing Ukraine and Syria to the wolves (Russia) in the early 2010s was a conscious policy decision.
It's been about a decade: did it work?
Two words: catastrophic failure.

It's real! Thrilled to have finally gotten physical copies of my new book with @JessicaCalarco . Hoping we can stimulate a conversation on how we're evaluating ethnographies and interview studies

Absolutely over the moon that Ukrainian Presidential advisor Oleksiy Arestovych used the term "Zerg rush."
Wrote a little piece for PV@aG at the use of historical analogy in the Russia-Ukraine War.
“Policymakers find historical analogies most useful when facing unexpected and surprising events, but their reliance on analogy recedes as they begin to better understand ongoing events.”—@emosinger of @SantaClaraUniv. politicalviolenceataglance.o…

Zelenskiy put into words the consequences of our failure to intervene in Syria at the UN Security Council. We are living through the consequences of that decision today.

Preference falsification means we shouldn't be too surprised about whatever surprising thing happens next.

On Levada recent poll. A conversation with my mother in Novosibirsk.
- have you think the numbers?
- yes but we both now its BS.
- why do you think that?
- Because I would have said "i support" as well because I know what this state can do to you!
- I'm out of the country
- So?

This strikes a chord. But it is also disciplinary. Historians have become enamored with micro-level nuance, social scientists with “small but well identified”. We largely ceded macro-level stories and arguments to hararis and mearsheimers. “Real scholars” are better than that,

Putin will emulate Stalin and worse in his slaughter and cruelty but the West will continue to pretend that it's all a ploy to lure them into Ukraine to destroy his military. But they are too clever & prudent and will boldly continue to do nothing.

The anti-UA rhetoric from the Kremlin, the mass civilian victimization, the targeting of UA political and cultural institutions, and, now, the ethnic cleansing settle, in my view, the debate as to whether there is an attempted genocide taking place in Ukraine.
It is happening.

Important reporting here from @BMakuch. Two encouraging dynamics emerging from Ukraine with respect to influx of foreign volunteers: (1) UKR is asking its foreign recruits to agree to long-term enlistment & (2) UKR is rejecting many volunteers on basis of no military experience
My latest from Ukraine, on foreign fighters: many of them have zero combat experience and show up in-country, reject a long term enlistment, then leave. Others, some who are actual war vets, stay and fight. vice.com/en/article/xgdkad/f…
