The “don’t take down history” crowd is awfully silent.

N of 2 so far. Anyone else getting campus safety alerts like this today?

The thing about America today is that if you just describe what is happening objectively and unemotionally you sound hysterical and partisan and what you have to remind people is that the reason for that is not you, it's the people doing the things you are describing

A live look at me prepping the Politics of Public Policy

I say this every time I see this theory but what many people forget is that the Cubs played Cleveland. I think either team winning would have effed the timeline so 🤷🏽‍♀️

New at Can We Still Govern: @agpines.bsky.social & @lizananat.bsky.social explain how the work volatility of low income service employees will make it hard for them to satisfy new SNAP/Medicaid work requirements, even when they work lots of hours. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/when-volat...

“Did we actually not blow it?" How I, a true Browns fan, confirm we did, in fact, beat the Steelers.

Today was the winter solstice. Tonight marks the last night of Chanukah. May we bring these lights with us as the days themselves get longer.

My favorite time of the semester: grading final reflections. I give my students options to do traditional essays or unessays. So far I have had wonderful reflections, responses explained via song playlist, a moodboard....

Tomorrow we have a community Chanukah lighting & my kid has a caroling gig with choir. Both are public events, but my husband and I only debated whether to skip one of those because of security concerns. We're going to both, but my heart hurts at the fact that we even had to have the conversation.

Bluesky is like a virtual windowsill, right? Chanukah sameach to all who celebrate, however you chose to do so in these days.

My husband and I are having this conversation right now.

Taking kids to a Hannukah celebration, lighting candles publicly, trying to be publicly Jewish feels fraught but also necessary. Try to bring some light into a dark world.

Your professor friends and your Jewish friends - and your Jewish professor friends- are probably not ok today.

Joke's on you. Have you seen the roads? #PotholesForDays

The Indiana GOP's new congressional gerrymander failed by a vote of 31-19. 21 Republicans joined the 10 Democrats in voting no.

Indiana: fuck you make me

This is in fact the material point: “The essay not only fails to meet basic college requirements — such as citing its primary source, the Bible — but fundamentally missed the assignment’s objective,” Tranquill said.

🎙️ Ep. 30 of Hoosier Health Matters is live! We talk about policy wins that center public health and reproductive justice—right here in Indiana. Tune in + share. #HoosierSky #PublicHealth #HealthEquity #PregnancySupport #HoosierHealthMatters #CashAssistance #ReproJustice #GTC

Pantone really just said the color of the year is white, huh?

Anyone w/ expertise re congressionally chartered orgs? We were discussing the American Red Cross in class. The US President appoints the ARC chair (and some board members). Is this b/c of the congressional charter? Or something special re ARC? Does the president appoint other chairs? #Nonprofitsky

Setting up a landline for our tween. Explaining voicemail etiquette is hilarious, and then there was this: Phone: Record your name. When you are finished, press pound. Tween: Pound? Me: Hashtag Tween: Ooooh

Intrigued that ARNOVA & SSWR still have not created Bluesky accounts at this point in 2025. It integrated into @altmetric.com (unliked LinkedIn) & increasingly preferred by academic & scientific institutions & networks. No platform is perfect but... #AcademicSky #ARNOVA2025 #SSWR2026 #SSWR26 #SWTech

Hey Indiana didn't do the worst thing possible for once

i want to repeat this: mamdani and spanberger have run similar campaigns tailored to their respective electorates and it is maddening to watch political journalists attempt to create some broad contrast where none exist

Well, he did not call me, personally, corrupt, but I did enjoy the opportunity to talk to Drew Lindsay/ @chronphilanthropy.bsky.social about the challenges of nonprofit work in this moment.

A good reminder to folks not to overlook local university food pantries when donating. I give to mine monthly.

New York City folks - suggestions for college kids who may need food assistance? My students often identify food insecurity as the most pressing issue on campus. NYU has limited food pantries and meal swipes, but these are already insufficient and that is before the impending benefits losses.

Last week, the Indiana University administration asked their student newspaper not to print any news stories in the Homecoming edition. When the faculty advisor refused, IU fired him and ended paper printing. So students at the Purdue paper printed the IU edition and drove it down to Bloomington!

Public health is infrastructure. And every $1 spent on prevention saves up to $5.60 in health costs. So why does Indiana underfund it? We need budgets that reflect care, not crisis. #FundPublicHealth #INHealthEquity #GoodTrouble #HoosierSky

NJ transit police are scanning tickets on the Princeton Junction platform (train not even here to board yet). Anyone know about this? Is it new? Why?

@gbosslet.bsky.social this while thread is interesting but shout out to Hi-chews

Next week's politics of public policy theme: Growth of Government/Large Scale Democracy Me in August: Sure, let's talk about redistricting here. The 2022 CQ Researcher case is a good resource. Me today: Frantically timestamping links, wondering if I can just throw this up for the slide: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

People think they’re taking down a rich intellectual sinecure but they’re mostly terrorizing committed public servants who make $58,000 a year after 15 years of experience at a school that has to budget creatively so students can access textbooks.

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
