In parts of the Global South, political elites have framed LGBTQ rights as a foreign, colonial agenda. So should advocates abandon universal rights language in favour of arguments rooted in local traditions and anti-colonial sentiment? A new study tests exactly this question using survey evidence from Zimbabwe — and finds clear support for the local approach. Host Alan Renwick is joined by the study's authors, Phillip Ayoub and Adam Harris, both Professors in the UCL Department of Political Science. Mentioned in this episode: Rooting Equality: Testing the Effectiveness of Activist Frames Combating Homophobia in Zimbabwe by Phillip M. Ayoub and Adam S. Harris, British Journal of Political Science.

Between 1959 and 1961, between thirty and forty million people starved to death in China. The Great Famine had many causes, and one of them was a campaign to eradicate sparrows.Shaoda Wang of the University of Chicago tells Tim Phillips about Mao Zedong's 1958 Four Pests Campaign, which led to the mass killing of sparrows, set off a chain of consequences that scientists had warned about, but political pressure had silenced. Sparrows eat crops, but they also eat the locusts and other insects that destroy the crops. Remove the sparrows and the pests go unchecked. Wang and his co-authors estimate the eradication cut national grain yields by 8-9%, accounting for roughly a fifth of the total agricultural decline during the famine.The research behind this episode:Frank, Eyal G., Qinyun Wang, Shaoda Wang, Xuebin Wang, and Yang You. 2024. "Campaigning for Extinction: Eradication of Sparrows and the Great Famine in China." NBER Working Paper 34087.To cite this episode:Phillips, Tim, and Shaoda Wang. 2025. "How killing sparrows contributed to the Great Chinese Famine.” VoxDev Talk (podcast). Assign this as extra listening. The citation above is formatted and ready for a reading list or VLE.About Shaoda WangShaoda Wang is an assistant professor at the Harris School of Public Policy, University of Chicago. His research spans environmental economics, political economy and development, with a focus on how state capacity and political incentives shape environmental and health outcomes in China and other developing countries.Research cited in this episodeThe Four Pests Campaign (1958). Launched as part of Mao Zedong's Great Leap Forward, the campaign targeted rats, flies, mosquitoes and sparrows. Sparrows were included on the grounds that they ate grain and reduced agricultural yields. Several prominent Chinese scientists warned at the time that removing sparrows would destabilise the food chain by eliminating a key predator of crop pests, particularly locusts. Their advice was ignored. The campaign resulted in the killing of an estimated two billion sparrows.County gazetteers as a data source. Official harvest data reported by local governments to the central government during the Great Leap Forward was heavily inflated; local officials faced strong political incentives to overstate output, and those exaggerated figures contributed to the famine by masking food shortages from central planners. Wang and his co-authors instead use county gazetteers: records compiled by local elites through a bottom-up process with no link to the political reward structures that distorted official reporting. Comparison between the two sources reveals the scale of over-reporting in the official data.Sparrow habitat suitability index. Rather than relying on reported sparrow kill counts, which were distorted by local officials seeking to demonstrate compliance with campaign targets, the paper constructs an index of how suitable each county's climate and ecological conditions are for sparrow habitation. Counties with high sparrow suitability were more exposed to the shock of eradication; comparing their crop yield and mortality trajectories against low-suitability counties before and after the campaign provides the causal identification strategy. The two groups followed similar trajectories before the campaign; divergence afterwards is attributed to the eradication.State food procurement as a famine amplifier. The Great Famine was not simply a production shortfall. The central government continued to export food during the famine years because inflated harvest reports gave it no signal of the actual crisis. State procurement quotas extracted grain from rural communities at a time when households were already facing starvation; the political system that caused the sparrow eradication was also the mechanism that amplified its consequences.More VoxDev Talks on this topicThe economics of ecosystems: How nature and economies interact. Eyal Frank of the University of Chicago — a co-author of the sparrows paper — on how to measure the economic value of biodiversity. His research on bats and white-nose syndrome, and on desert locusts, shows what happens when natural pest control collapses; the sparrows episode is the historical counterpart.Related reading on VoxDevThe political economy of policy learning: Evidence from China, a VoxDev article on how misaligned incentives across China's political hierarchy distort policy experimentation and produce systematically exaggerated signals — the same dynamic that inflated both the sparrow kill counts and the harvest figures during the Great Leap Forward.Autocratic rule and social capital: Evidence from Imperial China, a VoxDev article on the long-run effects of political persecution under autocratic rule in China, and how the suppression of dissent shapes economic and social behaviour across generations.The economics of conservation in low- and middle-income countries, a VoxDev article surveying the evidence on maintaining natural ecosystems, the role of governance, and the costs of losing species whose economic value is not yet understood.

Campaigning isn't a bus tour anymore. It's a production schedule. We dig into why the old model of speeches, fundraisers, and hoping for fair coverage is breaking down, and why the candidates who win in 2026 and beyond will look more like full-time content creators with a clear message, a content calendar, and the discipline to show up daily on the platforms where voters actually live.From there, we bring it home to New Mexico politics: why it's so hard to convince strong people to run in today's vicious environment, what Dan Boyd's reporting reveals about GOP challenges, and why shifting voter registration numbers hint at long-term movement even if short-term elections stay tough. We also unpack why Democratic Party favorability is flashing warning signs, and how viral cultural messaging can make a party feel extreme to voters who just want basic fairness and common sense.We then jump to policy consequences you can feel in your wallet, using California gas prices as a case study in taxes, fees, boutique fuel blends, and refinery constraints, plus what it could mean if New Mexico follows the same path. We close with Iran, the Strait of Hormuz, and what J.D. Vance says about a fragile truce, along with how media narratives and news aggregators influence what people believe, before ending on the wonder of Artemis II and American innovation.Subscribe for Sunday and Wednesday drops, share the show with a friend, and leave a rating and review.

We're wrapping up our Oscars coverage with one of the most talked-about parts of awards season — the snubs.This week, we dive into The Smashing Machine and the surprising absence of recognition for Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt.

My guest today is Thorbjørn Schiønning, also known as Toby, who is the Director of Communications and Campaigns, and co-founder of Anima International. He's been involved in animal rights for 15+ years, specialising in corporate outreach, campaigning and media work. In this epsiode, we speak about the recent huge success for chickens in Norway – where the Norwegian chicken industry agreed to phase out fast-growing broiler breeds, affecting over 70 million animals, by the end of 2027 – the first time a country has taken such major action to help chickens raised for meat. More importantly, we spend a bunch of time discussing Anima International's strategy when it comes to corporate campaigning, and why they've come up with a new term, “fair cop” which they feel is a better approach to the well-known concepts of good cop and bad cop.Toby has lots of useful advice for anyone interested in campaigning and advocacy: why threatening big campaigns can be counterproductive, why more campaign groups should build a war chest of campaigning funds, why most campaigners should wait longer before escalating and much more. I learned a lot about corporate campaigning strategy from this one and this is coming at a really critical time in the movement, both for cage-free and our work on broilers, so hope you all enjoy!Chapters:(00:00:00) - Intro(00:03:04) - Should we block new farms?(00:08:19) - Norway's breakthrough for chickens(00:16:06) - Why animal groups should focus on fewer issues(00:23:12) - Focusing on commitments vs implementation?(00:28:06) - What fair cop means(00:36:13) - How to campaign when you're in it for the long haul(00:47:25) - The value of patience & dialogue(01:07:43) - Anima's £1 million war chest for campaigning(01:13:39) - Poker, backgammon and developing good judgement(01:21:43) - Good news, recommendations, and where to find AnimaResources:Jan's talk at the CARE conference on "fair cop"Toby's article on fair copAnima Norway's announcement on broiler win Welfare Footprint on how important the BCC is for chickensNever Split the Difference - book on negotiation Anima  international blog + careers pageWith thanks to Tom Felbar (Ambedo Media) for amazing video and audio editing!If you enjoy the show, please leave a rating and review us - it means a lot to us!

We break down the current state of TTPA implementation and its implications for digital political communication in Europe.

How do we win people over and change the direction?  President Trump and VP Vance hit the campaign trail this week supporting candidates and showcasing the agenda of the administration. Just how politics is supposed to be done. Will the grassroots efforts work over the social issue and identity politics focus of the left?

Greetings, Lowdowners—Deanna here!In January, paid subscribers got 45 minutes of unfiltered Hightower at our Happy Hour Q&A. If you missed it—or if you're a free subscriber wondering what these gatherings are like—here's a taste.We asked readers to bring questions, stories, anything. What we got was one of the best evenings we've had: Hightower on organizing in red states, the horror of what's happening with ICE, why the Democrats need big ideas, and—because it's Hightower—some absolutely wild stories from campaigning across Texas in small planes held together with duct tape and optimism. The clip above is one of my favorite all-time stories: the famous beer run with Melvin Lowry out in West Texas. When you're a broke statewide candidate in Texas, you get where you're going however you can. In Hightower's case, that meant farmers with planes, county roads as landing strips, and pit stops for six-packs. "The secret to the high wire is never look at the high wire. You just land."If you thought the beer run was something, wait until you hear about the plane where Hightower's passenger seat was a kitchen chair with a seatbelt—and the only way to get airborne was for two guys to hold up the tail and run down the runway. “I am a serious candidate for statewide office in the state of Texas.”One last gem from that night covers while the Populist movement of the late 1800s was so successful: they knew that politics couldn't be just a bunch of committee meetings. They created fun. Here, Hightower shares an insight that Pete Seeger once told him about how he discovered politics through the Chautauqua movement.These are the kinds of evenings paid subscribers get—stories you won't hear anywhere else, and a chance to actually ask Hightower what's on your mind.The full 45-minute video, including Hightower on why organizing together beats just calling your red state Senator, how Democratic leadership is responding to our grassroots pressure, and the vision for getting money out of politics, is is available to paid subscribers here.If last week's C-SPAN video was a window into Hightower's world, this is a seat at the table. More on that next week.Happy Friday, everyone.Jim Hightower's Lowdown is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

Shelly DeZevallos has spent decades working in aviation and public service, and in this conversation she explains why running for Congress felt like the natural next step. She argues aviation and policy are already deeply connected—from FAA modernization and ATC pressure to advanced air mobility and supersonic aircraft—and says the industry needs more people in government who actually understand how aviation works. For Shelly, the move into politics is not a departure from aviation but an extension of it. She also talks candidly about culture, leadership, and the role women play in aviation and policy. Shelly shares a story about mistakenly assuming another woman in the room was not a pilot—an experience that forced her to confront how deeply industry norms shape perception. She discusses why healthy aviation culture is built through small signals of respect, why more women do not step into oversight and policy roles, and how people can start building influence long before ever considering a campaign. Later, Shelly breaks down what campaigning has taught her: talk slower, listen better, and do not panic. She compares running for office to flying an airplane—stay steady, fly the plane, and keep moving forward even when things get rough. She closes with advice for anyone who wants to make a difference, whether through public office, aviation advocacy, safety work, government affairs, or simply taking the first step and refusing to quit.

WKC Toy Group Winning Handler Tim Lehman on Campaigning a Maltese and Drop-Coat Excellence Fresh off his Toy Group win at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, Tim Lehman joins Pure Dog Talk to share the story behind Cookie, the breathtaking Maltese who captured hearts at the Garden. From a childhood obsession sparked in a Minnesota library to standing in the Best in Show lineup under the spotlight at Madison Square Garden, Tim's journey is a testament to mentorship, meticulous coat care, purposeful breeding and staying in the path of kindness. Lehman, a self-described “boutique handler,” takes us behind the scenes of campaigning Cookie, the exquisite Maltese who finished the year as the Number 4 Toy Dog—all on a limited schedule of fewer than 50 shows. Tim shares how balance—between his career as a hairstylist and his life with dogs—has shaped his approach to showing, conditioning and long-term success. [caption id="attachment_15212" align="alignleft" width="446"] Who says show dogs aren't real dogs?! Cookie is all wrapped up and playing with her favorite ball.[/caption] We dive deep into the art and science of maintaining a drop coat at the highest level. Maltese coat care is not about secret products or miracle sprays. According to Tim, it's about daily vigilance, disciplined wrapping, gentle grooming and knowing when to pull back. “Virgin hair,” as he calls it, is preserved through consistency and restraint. From bathing routines to managing coat breakage in four-day show weekends, Tim explains why what happens at home matters more than what happens ringside. The conversation also explores preservation breeding in action. Cookie represents six generations of intentional, thoughtful breeding—with multiple national specialty winners behind her. Tim discusses collaborating (and occasionally disagreeing!) with breeder Tammy Simon, the value of speaking your truth in breeding decisions, and the reality that even carefully planned breedings can produce surprises. In Maltese, where structure matures slowly and the coat requires years of commitment, patience may be the greatest virtue of all. We also talk about mentorship. Tim credits his early years working for the legendary Peggy Hogg for shaping his technical skills and eye for detail. His advice for aspiring drop-coat...

This week on The Last Gay Conservative Podcast, we connect three seemingly unrelated stories that reveal the same dangerous pattern: performance replacing governance.• American politicians campaigning in Munich• A Senate candidate's radical past rebranded mid-campaign• Congress fumbling the Farm Bill• A federal judge redefining what counts as a constitutional burdenDifferent arenas. Same instinct: control optics, adjust definitions, avoid friction.When diplomacy becomes content, campaigns become cosplay, and courts start redefining thresholds, the guardrails don't collapse loudly — they move quietly.This episode breaks down:✔ Why international political theater carries real geopolitical risk✔ The danger of “wolf in sheep's clothing” candidates✔ What's really inside the new Farm Bill✔ How subtle judicial redefinitions shift power✔ Why performance culture erodes accountabilityThis isn't about outrage. It's about incentive structures.
