zohran’s victory has me thinking I don’t even NEED my mouth guard tonight

Sherrill won. Mamdani will win. My mental health wins.

Why is it that every disappeared US citizen is not front page news? At the very least we should have a little box with a count of the number of citizens who have been taken away and are not locatable and a link to a story with photos & min-bios, just as we used to do with military casually figures.

Today I wrote/submitted my first letter of recommendation. Being asked to write LOR is truly an honor 😭🤧

@casmudde.bsky.social look at that…

It’s that time of the year… 🤧🤧

Excited to see The Anatomy of Right-Wing Populism now available open access through UCL Press! I am grateful to have contributed to the publication process as an RA and deeply thankful to the editors, Jan Kubik and Richard C. M. Mole, for the opportunity and guidance. #Polisky #Populism

This is so discouraging and sad to read. There is no reason for this to be happening!!!

😂😂👏👏👏

The pro-EU Party of Action & Solidarity has crushed the pro-Russia Patriotic Electoral Bloc in the Moldovan election. It won 51 seats - an outright majority. Moldova is now on a trajectory towards EU membership. A very bad night for Putin, who targeted Moldova with a wave of election propaganda.

Bad Bunny is the next Super Bowl halftime show performer.

Remember when I said that Bad Bunny is the biggest artist in history? Bigger than Michael Jackson? Well... another piece of evidence just released: www.billboard.com/music/latin/...

Trump Tech 😳

Why do I put myself to go through this again…

Dems losing the NJ governorship in this environment would be catastrophic levels of incompetency.

Today I told my students that Bad Bunny is the biggest artist in history; bigger than Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley, and The Beatles… They laughed at me 😂😂

I am a liberal democrat and therefore I am also

Bad Bunny is the greatest artist in history. I don’t care what anyone says. 🐐🐐🇵🇷🇵🇷

ROCKET CITY, ALABAMA 🙃

I spent two months working in the General Archive of Puerto Rico (AGPR); here you can read a little bit of what I did. prac.rutgers.edu/agpr-logros-...

Ever since I started my PhD I stopped reading for fun… probably because I spend the day reading… but sometimes I miss that feeling you get when reading a good book. Fewer People Are Reading for Fun, Study Finds www.nytimes.com/2025/08/20/w...

It’s perfectly possible to have an authoritarian leader within a democratic system. However, ultimately, one of the two will have to give…

This is basically Kanye West ‘speaking’

MAMDANI!!!

Injuries are so unfortunate 😔

Bukele said Armando was NEVER returning… what changed?

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

The people we threw into a foreign gulag are now being used as bargaining chips by the president of another country

Our public universities are being dismantled before our very eyes.

Mood:

It is still hard to believe this is happening… like what the hell! www.nytimes.com/live/2025/04...

The US Economic Policy Uncertainty Index just hit such a historic high under Trump that it’s literally exploding off the chart.

I'm thrilled to share that I’ve been selected for the 2025 Rutgers/Puerto Rico Archival Collaboration Graduate Program! This summer, I’ll intern at the General Archive of Puerto Rico, helping preserve Puerto Rican history and conduct dissertation research. prac.rutgers.edu

I'm excited to share that I've been selected as a recipient of the Spring 2025 CLAS/RAICCS Student Research Grant! This award will support my research in Puerto Rico this summer. clas.rutgers.edu/news-and-eve...

Bukele loves to see this... www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Cancer research hasn’t cured cancer. Anti-corruption commissions haven’t eliminated corruption. DEI policies haven’t fixed inequality. Why? Because they’re tackling some of the thorniest problems humanity faces. None of these efforts should end.

Influencers see Bukele’s prisons like Disney parks — they visit them for fun and content. Shameful

U.S. academia is all about pedigree. Where you get your PhD determines largely where you can get a job - even at senior level. Many places will hire an Ivy PhD without publications over a non-Ivy with several publications, even though the latter had much fewer resources during PhD period.

LOL! Most Americans don't care at all about what Trump does to foreigners (or anyone but themselves and their own, really). This only resonates with the people who were already not supporting Trump. But if you live in that bubble...
