Back after a weekend in Berlin - where on every street there’s a plaque or museum detailing their Nazi or Stasi past - to a country that seems to be blundering into some strange new Trumpian Johnsonian populism, lies and lawlessness. Orwell has it right...
Road to Wigan Pier
Orwell complained in 1937 that the dour vanguardist form of socialism promulgated in Britain at the time was turning people to fascism. Obvious echoes here too - only echoes mind - but worrying enough

Check out @BylineTimes coverage of what the EU elections mean in the rest of Europe. Some takeaways follow. bylinetimes.com/2019/05/22/wha… via @BylineTimes
The Left is in retreat across Europe. The far right gains or loses at their expense, and from traditional conservatism. Why is this happening? What does it mean?
One continuous theme is that the right, though it disagrees on different elements in different countries, has conflated social liberalism with economic neoliberalism (though I hate the word and this will explain why)

Democracy in Danger: How Safe is Britain's Next Election? – Byline Times bylinetimes.com/2019/03/29/the…
“Everyone tries to walk away with the data at the end of a campaign.”

That was the stunning admission by a senior Vote Leave data specialist following the shock victory of the Brexit campaigns in the 2016 EU Referendum.
Vote Leave spent at least 40 per cent of its budget on the controversial Canadian electioneering and data company AIQ, and more than £2.7 million on automated targeting – including 1,433 ads aimed at specific groups of people on Facebook, viewed more than 169 million times.

More far right Islamophobic ideology despite the #Christchurch terrorist attack. Who funds the Middle Eastern forum (which goes on to fund Yaxley Lennon)?
And here’s the whole crew including Raheem Kassam and Yaxley Lennon
Meanwhile, another original member of the Islamophobic far right Middle Eastern forum is none other than a founder of @QuilliamOrg - you know the ‘Asian Grooming gangs’ ground who were supposed to have deradicalised Yaxley Lennon meforum.org/2584/detoxifyi…

A short thread on the "Classics and its relation to 'Western Civilization'" brouhaha. There's already been enough said about the relatively recent development of the concept of "Western Civilization" and its ideological uses. I would focus instead on relating past and present. /1
As @Twhittermarsh has already said, most classicists seek to historicize the ancient past, i.e. to understand it on its own terms and not in the service of some teleological argument that makes the present the straightforward inheritor of the Greeks and Romans. /2
I wholeheartedly agree: One thing that emerges rather organically, I would say, from having my students read the ancient sources is their sense of alienation from the Greeks and their "weird" practices (bloody animal sacrifice, pederasty, etc.). /3

And who said: "unconditional direct income support to farmers is manifestly absurd in today’s world when it maintains uncompetitive farming practices that have negative implications for the climate, the environment or people’s health"?

#New PA cong. map increases D chance of winning the House majority by 4%. They only need a 6.8% generic ballot margin now (down from 7.7) to be favored.

Diff. will be closer to 10% in Nov when uncertainty from polls is ⬇️. Redraw is a very big deal.

One major reason the new PA map is such a big gain for Democrats is that it solidifies, not just tips, PA districts in Philly burbs. Also creates one additional vulnerable R district. (Easily seen in this map made by @JMilesColeman)
My forecasting model will have new PA map in the near future. This is not just a simple switch; it’s a coding redesign, restructuring of input, & drawing new geographic files. Takes a while (for me, a student).

In the meantime, just add 3-4% to the model: bit.ly/2018_house
