Hello Mastodon! I'm Brian Klaas - an associate professor of global politics at University College London, a writer for The Atlantic, and host of the Power Corrupts podcast.

I'm Minnesotan.

I write a newsletter on Substack called "The Garden of Forking Paths."

I also wrote the first book on Trump's authoritarianism. My most recent book is "Corruptible: Who Gets Power and How It Changes Us."

And yes, that is a lemur on my shoulder. #Politics #Introduction #WelcomeToMastodon #Mastodon
