I "like" how we claim to be inclusive and pro-science and then we make fun of mask wearers. Ableist as shit and totally hypocritical.

I see posts about favorite movies that include the Alabama Solution and Zootopia 2. Are you kidding me? Adding another to your favorite list? I am feeling physically sick after watching this documentary. What even are we if we don't show basic respect for human rights.

Appreciate the thorough critique of this research. It has important implications about how two seemingly associated phenomena are not really associated when we deconstruct the exact pathways (how asylum seekers may end up homeless).

In 2017, MS Sec of State famously told Trump to "jump off the Gulf of Mexico" in response to requests for voter records. Not any more: www.wapt.com/article/miss... @mississippifreepress.org

Fed is best. Fuck you.

You know what's civil when flying? Wearing a mask when you are sick and not coughing your lungs out at your fellow passengers.

Casting and receiving a vote are instantaneous in person voters, but not for mail voters. It's problematic to penalize those to go through every step to legally their vote, only to tell them that because it arrived later than Tuesday it will not count. woub.org/2025/11/24/o...

Interacting with students is not a public commitment? Got it.

Hawaii's elections commission voted to push for the end of early and mail voting in the state. www.hawaiinewsnow.com/2025/11/05/h...

This is such a big deal and it's a shame it was not included in the major outlets.

Happening now at @mccourtschool.bsky.social: Mock election in my Elections class with the DC Board of Elections, then an audit with @theelectionsgroup.bsky.social. And observation by the elections team at @bipartisanpolicy.org

Shouldn't we, the people, serve as HOA in situations like these?

Very cool research and even better to see Charles Stewart from @mitelectionlab.bsky.social sing from happiness. Kidding, no singing, but yes to excitement for science.

What a gift this was, and every year I celebrate meeting John Lewis on a plane. #goodtrouble

@amstatnews.bsky.social is launching a citizen science effort to monitor the health of the federal stats system. We ❤️🛟 citizen science efforts 😉 Get involved today! docs.google.com/forms/d/1jI4...

I am originally from Greece too. And my father was at the Polytexneio during the student uprising. Just my two cents: 1) fascism is not a discrete state. The range is continuous, fuzzy, and contextual. Tom seems to think there is a cutoff, after which "we are there." Where is that exactly? 1/

Interesting to observe the debate about vaccines and Tylenol. I wonder if these "skeptics" are the same ones that give their kids Benadryl on the plane to get their kids to sleep so that they can enjoy the flight without their kids bothering them.

Seems relevant..

The point about respecting one's dignity is valid. But how intellectually consistent are we when we welcome speakers whose arguments essentially undermine the dignity of others? And we call that a difficult conversation?

Fresh from @mccourtschool.bsky.social, a Q&A with Prof. @ziogas.bsky.social and myself on how we engage in the discussion about ethical and responsible use of AI in election administration. mccourt.georgetown.edu/news/ai-and-...

I am here too, should I be flattered?

What happens when there is a devastating fire or hurricane and there is no National Guard to deploy because it is policing other states?

If the American dream literally is that "anyone can be anything they want," this administration has nailed it.

So, first it's mental health issues ---> gun violence Which means treatment will solve this problem (but we won't fund support and resources) Now we are told treatments ---> gun violence? This elephant is hiding in the room so well looks like.

What's the deal with all these "financial managers with 20 years of experience" that want to follow me? Block block.

So proud that we contributed to data rescue efforts for Dpt of Education data at @massivedatagu.bsky.social. Our Save the Data Crew consists of students, faculty, staff, and members of the public who want to support information availability and integrity.

Must watch www.pbs.org/video/who-ha... And as always, the greats @rickhasen.bsky.social and Joshua Douglas break down where our right to vote originates from (Spoiler: not the US Constitution)

I am working on a voter accessibility project and every single disability rights org I am taking with expressed concern about voters with disabilities being thrown under the bus.

States should all adopt voting rights act legislation.

Waiting to see how many daycare centers and schools will bring back masks|parents will send their kids to school with a mask given no access to flu and covid vaccines. We are outraged at the attack on science, yet we don't follow it as a society.

This breaks my heart. I would not be where I am now if I had not come to the US for grad school. "Funny" thing is that int'l students pay A LOT to come. If visa extensions and OPT are not available, it seems impossible to attract students now. Not to mention going on the market from abroad.

You know, it's not really a stretch. As a society we have agreed that airborne diseases are not a thing (masking to mitigate airborne transmission). So why ban smoking. Full disclosure I am a non smoker and was raised in a smoking household.

Opening Bluesky Reading news Heart rate rises, can't breathe Closing Bluesky On repeat

Called it. There will be efforts to remove Section 8. www.c-span.org/program/hous...

Must watch. I applaud @mehdirhasan.bsky.social's composure. All I observed was a bunch of confused folks who didn't stay on topic and would go to the extreme just to own a lib. And yes, "I don't debate fascists" is a totally valid argument to end a discussion.

Imagine if Trump wanted to be an artist when he was young and he was rejected in art school | his parents didn't let him do art.

The NVRA will be next on the chopping block.

Religiously following @annabower.bsky.social's coverage of this case. Thank you for taking the time to post these updates.

Guess what book my kid got for her birthday this year.

Another important finding: need to support efforts to combat false info. During the 2024 cycle, our team at the EO Comms Tracker project documented several efforts by LEOs to debunk rumors. Check out Missoula County's myth busting post about voter registration.

"Let them eat ramen" sounds like something the GOP would say rn.

I realize that there are a few good @nytimes.com reporters. But if we call the paper out for being pro-fascist, then we should not read it at all.

"In the future days, which we seek to make secure, we look forward to a world founded upon four essential freedoms. The first is the freedom of speech and expression - everywhere in the world. The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way - everywhere in the world."

The solution is not to have elections in 2026.

Unless anyone else has made this observation, I am calling it: Balenciaga should be the official uniform sponsor of ICE. See Kim Kardashian's 2021 Met Gala outfit. Would totally be on brand for them.

We need to use the term science denial more. Anti-science imo is not enough.

Election nerds have been asking for this for too long: The US EAC finally released time-series EAVS data www.eac.gov/research-and...

Want to help save democracy but not sure how? Help us save the data. events.georgetown.edu/event/saveth...

Idk what the best word for this is. I would be ashamed if I was any of these journalists. The @washingtonpost.com should change its slogan to "we helped kill democracy."

We are not "on the way" We are already there.
