About this Blog

During the semester, I shall post course material and students will comment on it. Students are also free to comment on any aspect of American politics, either current or historical. There are only two major limitations: no coarse language, and no derogatory comments about people at the Claremont Colleges. This blog is on the open Internet, so post nothing that you would not want a potential employer to see. Syllabus: http://gov20h.blogspot.com/2023/08/draft-introduction-to-american-politics.html

Edward Snowden Granted Russian Citizenship

This story caught my attention especially in the context of the war in Ukraine.

Granting Snowden citizenship(and him accepting) is quite ironic considering the Russian regime's tendency to surveil and suppress suspected dissidents.
