Day one of my #ASA2025 journey at the climate preconference and it’s standing room only. Happy to get a seat next to my undergraduate advisor 😍

Something to discuss at #asa2025

I think I can hear the person pee-ing in the room next door #asa2025

BIG: A new executive order changes fundamentally how the U.S. awards research grants, giving oversight to political appointees in coordination with OMB. All new grant opportunities are paused until these appointees are in place. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

A climate denialism agenda is being pushed in the midst of wildfires in North & South Carolina, massive floods in Kentucky, and an exceptional drought in southwestern Texas. They’re really “owning the libs” as climate change bears down on Red and Blue states alike. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/02/c...

Great looking pre-ASA mini-conference that will be of interest to many political sociologists who consider social movements and protest in their work.

Guys, WIRED has been scooping every other publication and has been bravely covering this assault on our government, our Constitution, and on the rule of law. They are worth your attention and support.

Grad students in @asapolisoc.bsky.social or @asa-cbsm.bsky.social: Deadline for the Jefferson Scholars Natl Fellowship is Feb 3! www.jeffersonscholars.org/fellowships Great oppty for APD scholars writing dissertations in US politics, with an emphasis on historical/global/instl analyses

In honor of the Inauguration today, I'm going to share some toplines from our survey of participants at the People's March in DC (I did this after the big marches during Trump 1.0 to document the Resistance), so here goes: People came from all over the US to participate--81% lived outside DC.

Here we go again! I’ll be fielding a team of 8 researchers at the People’s March in DC tomorrow. If someone asks you to take our survey, please say yes 🙌 Remember it will help us understand who’s joining the Resistance 2.0 and why.

UPDATE: I am pulling out of this virtual mini-conference given how @asanews.bsky.social is shaking down members for MORE money. As universities face budget cuts, the idea that an association will add costs for members who are doing the work of providing the content is outrageous.

For anyone who thought @asanews.bsky.social was providing members with more resources through its virtual mini-conference program, think again! Apparently, even those of us who are speaking (for FREE) and are members who pay hundreds a year to ASA are being asked to pay $100 to register to speak...!

I’m really enjoying all the folks who are reaching out to tell me to read their stuff after seeing my TED talk because they apparently think I just decided to do a talk one day about a subject I randomly selected (and didn’t do years of research, write numerous articles, and then write a book)

Congrats to @asapolisoc.bsky.social Chair @fisherdanar.bsky.social for delivering a fascinating TED talk! www.ted.com/talks/dana_r...

Good morning, I'm trans. I'm ignoring news about who thinks trans people deserve rights & bodily autonomy. I'm focusing on being out & supporting trans ppl in my communities. Here's a list of resources, I forget who made it initially (sorry!) but it looks good. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Fill out this form to join our starter pack! As soon as we hit some number that our chair ( @fisherdanar.bsky.social) decides later today, we'll go live with it...and then will update as it grows.
