It's a great day to publish a research paper titled after an Erykah Badu song, but no worries, no need to call Tyrone! Read our latest research! 👇

clearly a new low in campaign advertisements

Looking forward to reading this. 70% of the (mine) ballot is uncontested in Massachusetts this election cycle. Yet many Democratic politicians oppose removing party labels from primaries and general elections.

"The attack on DEI in academia isn’t just ... about grants, positions and policies. It’s also psychological. It’s about who enters the room expecting to be believed, and who enters the same room expecting to be attacked." by @cydneydupree.bsky.social www.timeshighereducation.com/opinion/blac...

The figures in this post are sobering!

Remove Freddy Haynes -- a Black Baptist minister -- and this really is about White democrats centering religion. Black politicians are and have been deeply embedded in Black churches for generations, without needing to make them a centerpiece.

"Quit hiring Kappas" at a city council meeting is my type of politics 😂

Democrats must get more vocal in condemning this prosecution, which is both politically motivated and vindictive on the part of the Trump administration.

In what world is Scandal 100 on this list? Shondaland Thursdays went double platinum at Spelman. In Olivia Pope's words, this is NOT handled. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

spread the word! spring teaching opportunity in American Politics at Tufts.

I remain convinced that professors -- and especially assistant professors -- have 6+ jobs bundled into one. Someone asked if I have an executive assistant to cc on emails. That would be nice. It's just me!

Boston University Political Science is hiring an assistant professor with a focus on Artificial Intelligence (the intersection of artificial intelligence and politics or who use artificial intelligence applications as a methodology). @bupolisci.bsky.social academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/32578

don't forget to support the RBSI (Ralph Bunche Summer Institute) undergrads while you're at APSA. Their poster session is 10-12 on Saturday at the exhibit hall. @apsa.bsky.social #APSA26

Ignoring the economic consequences of job displacement for Black women will be one of the most consequential oversights of this year. Failure to look *intersectionally* strikes again.

Me to literally anyone: give yourself grace, it's the reviewer and not you, you're doing the best that you can with what you have 🫶🏾 Me to myself: no excuses, work harder 😠👊🏾

@cmslaughter.bsky.social, Research Fellow at the Allen Lab for Democracy Renovation, sits down for a Q&A on her research article, "Bootstrap Blackness: Black Men, Conservatism, and Party Politics," co-authored with Chaya Crowder and Christina Greer. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Beyond excited to announce that the newest edition of PUBLIC OPINION, written by Rosalee Clawson, Zoe Oxley, and ME(!!) is available now! This book is filled with lots of cool material geared towards undergrads, super proud! Find the book here: collegepublishing.sagepub.com/products/pub...

Even among the 92% of Black Women, it's complicated! Thank you @bostonu.bsky.social for covering my latest research, published in @polbehavior.bsky.social! Write-up 🖋️: www.bu.edu/articles/202... Article (Open Access) 🔑: link.springer.com/article/10.1...

My heart goes out to this young lady. Every Black woman knows what this feels like-to be surrounded by those who wish you harm+ no guarantee of societal defense- your spine stiffens as you become hyperalert- a horrid feeling, esp if you're physically smaller. Honestly, partly why I started muay thai

Would love to also see this by race, and the intersectional effects for women by race. So many Black women in the tech and artificial intelligence (AI) space that do not get their due.

Also, "one nation under God" was coined in the post-WWII era and only added to the pledge in 1954. It's younger than Donald Trump. Somebody wrote a book about this.

Castile was murdered as a Black man exercising his right to carry.

And this wasn't unanimous?

Important, important context!

With the gutting of the USPS, yes, absolutely. Let every vote count.

🧵 4 years ago, SCOTUS overturned nearly 50 years of established constitutional protection for bodily autonomy. The Dobbs decision opened the floodgates to draconian abortion bans across the country. Today, abortion is banned in 13 states and severely restricted in many more. (1/3)
