New to Good Trouble Coalition? We’re Indiana healthcare professionals organizing for health equity, science-based policy, and patient-centered care. If you believe in advocacy rooted in evidence, welcome! Let’s make some Good Trouble! #GoodTroubleCoalition #HoosierHealth #INHealthPros

A great episode for Hoosiers, but also for anyone looking for some perspective on challenges of federalism/what doing public health looks like in a red state. Also a good reminder to blue state me. I just got my vaccines w/o issue. CVS asking anyone coming for their meds if they want shots too

New Article with @mevansphd.bsky.social & J Irizarry in Public Integrity: Public Administration and Sports(Ball): A Social Equity Approach. Part of a special issue by @jamielevdan.bsky.social & B. Thomas. In this paper, I talk sports, which is impressive for me! www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

This is good questioning but we would not be in this position if Cassidy had simply held the line at Kennedy's confirmation. It's unclear how much of this antagonism is real and how much is for show, and for that, Cassidy has no one to blame but himself.

Ignoring the power and problems of privilege is precisely what got us into this mess.

Hey #nonprofitsky - have you seen @candiddotorg.bsky.social's data viz? Click on your congressional district to see your local nonprofit ecosystem: total size, number of orgs, number of employees, etc. public.tableau.com/app/profile/...

New Jersey DMV requiring paper statements as proof of address while banks/credit card companies really push paperless is a truly winning combination....and that's if you can even get an appointment in the first place. #administrativeburden

The Hoosier Health Matters podcast from @goodtroubleindiana.org does discusses this in a recent episode. At about the 14:20 mark they cover Hoosiers getting kicked off Medicaid, but also the immediate effect on local hospitals/impact on care for all www.goodtroubleindiana.org/podcast/epis...

Guy Ben-Aharon asks: Where should I go as an Israeli pacifist? “If both home and abroad demand allegiance over inquiry, and purity over complexity, what space is left for someone who stands for the right of both Palestinians and Israelis to live on the land?”

Indiana Public Broadcasting Stations will be eliminating its entire statewide team of reporters and editors at the end of the year after the Indiana General Assembly defunded the organization.

Had a mostly good time at the game today but Fifa and Met Life need to reevaluate their vendor policies. No water easily available (even to buy) at/after the 72nd minute was problematic (to say the least). Positive: taking public transportation from Princeton to the stadium #FifaCWC

There's a lot of calling Crémieux an academic and Chris Rufo a journalist going on in this news story accusing a man of misrepresenting his identity

I bookmarked this a year ago when @jamellebouie.net posted. We finally got a chance to go to Pietramala and it might be the best meal I've had since we moved to the east coast two years ago. If you go, sit at the counter- we got to learn alot from the chefs as we ate.

1) it was always fascism and fascism was the right word to use 2) they are building concentration camps and concentration camps are the right words to use 3) they are banning books and book bans is a fine way to describe the myriad ways they are banning them

Put it in the Louvre.

Last year my gynecologist found a potentially life-threatening issue others had missed. She referred me to a GYN oncologist who gave me incredible care. I still need follow ups. So of course insurance just told me that both docs are now out of network. Not breaking news, but healthcare is so effed

Our hearts go out to all who knew and loved Karen Diamond, 82, who was killed while marching in support of Israeli hostages in the violent firebomb attack in Boulder. May her memory be a blessing. And may no more lives be lost to antisemitism or political violence.

Why I have my reps’ numbers saved in my phone. Super easy to make calls like this.

There really is something special about what Zohran and Brad are showing the rest of the world what it still means to be a New Yorker and an American. A Jew and a Muslim modeling a politics of mutual respect, rejecting cynicism. Human decency has been taking a beating but she's not out just yet!

Hoosiers - come attend our annual meeting tonight (via Zoom) to see what GTC is doing for you. If you are a public health person/advocacy person outside of Indiana, join us to get an inside look at an awesome organization fighting hard in for patient-centered care, public health, and health equity.

I've actually used this resource in class for a few semesters. Fig. 4 is especially effective at showing how convoluted this is. www.cato.org/policy-analy...

I'm a Jew who is more worried about ICE goons with guns than college students with tents, not the least because the college students oppose genocidal violence and the ICE goons are prefiguring it

So I just want to be clear that the gentile President's anti-immigrant goons illegally assaulted and kidnapped the leading Jewish candidate for Mayor in New York City for walking into a federal building for the crowd that is keeping track of The Antisemitism Problem

they are making the jewish precept of loving the stranger among you a federal crime

All of this but also I love this sentiment "Y’all, my inbox is a busy place, so please get in line. Your email will be deleted in the order in which it was received."

I can't see it bc I'm on the ground in the middle but the emcee said crowd estimate is 3000-5000. Princeton population is ~26,000 when university is not in session. If accurate, that's ~11-19% turnout. #NoKings

It is the best version of the USA: our diverse country, coast to coast, standing up for human rights for everyone

Princeton #NoKings (repping @goodtroubleindiana.org of course)

"What is happening at IU is a symptom of a pattern playing out more broadly. We’re seeing the slow dismantling of democratic decision-making in public institutions." What happens in Indiana doesn't stay in Indiana. So proud of @gbosslet.bsky.social & all fighting the good fight there. #AcademicSky

I told you we’d be back

👇🎯 I was very early here but also tried Mastodon, stayed on Twitter longer than Jacob bc certain prof. networks (esp. 🇪🇺/🇬🇧 based scholars, policy folks, & journalists) were still there, left here for a bit post-10/7/23 bc the antisemitism here was awful, & came back & now find Bluesky useful. But 👇💯

One odd thing about Twitter/ Bluesky discourse from my perspective is… I didn’t leave Twitter for Bluesky. I left twitter. Then well over a year later, there was Bluesky, and I joined it. (In between, tried Threads and Mastadon.) If Bluesky disappeared tomorrow I wouldn’t go back to Twitter.

Maybe Happy Ending made my heart so happy. I am so glad to have seen it. If you are in New York- or if comes to your city when their tour launches next year- go see it. It is joy and love.

@j9love.bsky.social and I published our ungrading article with JSEPA and had a great experience.

In honor of Ryan Coogler's masterful film Sinners going on sale to rent or buy digitally today, here's my Substack on how the film's creative showcase of Black and non-white cultures is the argument for diversity, equity and inclusion Hollywood needs. loom.ly/UxXM3vs

When we talk about antisemitism, most of the discussion is about motivations. Let's talk about effects. The most productive way to think about it is imo in terms of an attack on Jews' civil rights: exclusion, discrimination, violence on the rights to equal access to civic life and public space. 1/

The relationship that the Jewish community has to the State of Israel is more fraught than people outside our community know.

This has been a heavy day for many reasons, so I am going to say goodnight with a timeline cleanse- my view of Ghost from my yoga mat this morning.

Would really appreciate if Twitter's antisemites would make up their minds over whether Jews should all go to Israel or get out of Israel. The entire worldview seems undertheorized, feels like they need to sit down and hash out the basics at a meeting of the Elders of Anti-Zion.

So the event was held at a Jewish Museum, was intended for Jewish Attendees (not Israelis), and was led by an interfaith coalition supporting refugees (including in Gaza). This was unquestionably an antisemitic hate crime.

Also true of when people go out of their way to silence protest/speech on campus that takes pains to focus on Israel/not conflate the state with Jews. Some think “if we call all protest extreme antisemitic speech, we’ll end the speech!” No. You’ll get more extreme and even antisemitic speech.

I would have gone much farther at a much earlier date, but I do think we've crossed some sort of line when the President Emeritus of the Union for Reform Judaism, the largest formal Jewish denomination in the US, is calling Israel's war "inhumane." www.haaretz.com/opinion/2025...

Always good when the state empowers someone to decide who is and isn't a "real Jew"

Make your voice heard here - there is a 3 day comment period. For those who have done this before (e.g.: @donmoyn.bsky.social), do you tend to comment anonymously, or do you leave your name? www.regulations.gov/commenton/FD...

Working on a paper and raging about citation politics (h/t @maxliboiron.bsky.social). I refuse to cut citations for word count purposes (especially for an online journal). Hoping I can lobby the editors because the citations are ~1/4 of the words, and each deserves to be included. #AcademicSky

Meanwhile, if Trump actually does pivot away from Israel in the Middle East, the domestic swerve on antisemiticism will get very ugly very fast, in ways that will take all the pleasure out of seeing post-leopard Horowitz, Slotkin, Weiss and Ackman.

“Dozens of groups joined the task force, but an ‘overwhelming number’ had something in common, Mr. Carafano said during a Jan. 2024 meeting: They weren’t Jewish. A short list of initial members that Heritage posted online consisted mainly of conservative and Christian organizations.”
