Back at a physical archive after a while. Excited to collect some documents for the dissertation!

[Ari Weil @AriWeil]

Excited to share my latest article, examining how the anti-govt movement managed its narrative during the Trump administration. I examine a novel corpus of Oath Keepers statements and follower comments to trace these narrative changes.

Check it out here: https://t.co/c9tm5x7OBP

also shout out to this cygnet who took their parents on a family trip to the archive entrance yesterday.

[Ari Weil @AriWeil]

Just finished up a fantastic trip to the National Archives.

After starting the PhD online, it felt great to dig into documents for three weeks.

Hey @CornellPress, I love my stack, but I should add a few more before my comp this summer!

Starting in an hour--come on out to our panel!

If you're up early at #ISA2022 come check out a great panel about the creation, use, and perception of borders and maps.

Excited that the panel Austin and I organized got accepted for ISA!

We have a cool project on maps and leaders during conflict, and got a great group of folks doing fascinating work on maps and geography.

[Austin Carson @carsonaust]

To those in IR interested in this maps stuff:

ISA 2022 will feature a panel on maps, history, and IR with some cool maps-as-data projects.

[Austin Carson @carsonaust]

IR folks: are you doing new research about maps or using maps as data?

I’m organizing a panel submission for #ISA2022 with @AriWeil and we’d love to hear from you, esp grad student and junior faculty. DM us with details if interested in presenting a paper

@JuliaLodoen @MIT_SSP Congrats Julia!!

(DC POLICE) MPD CHIEF : "There was no intelligence that suggests that there would be a breach of the US Capitol. "

[Dr. Cynthia Miller-Idriss @milleridriss]

There are at least 2 reasons why we should be talking about white supremacy re what happened at the Capitol yesterday. The first is the structural racism & bias in the Capitol police response to violent white rioters esp in comparison to their “readiness” & actions yesterday, 1/

also i just missed my flight because i was distracted by democratic backsliding and fascist mobs, so i guess more time for doomscrolling?

[Ari Weil @AriWeil]

This is so frightening. Trump spent years priming his supporters to doubt elections and elected GOP humored him and challenged the results. He used that to incite supporters to storm the seat of government. And now we have an armed standoff in the House chamber. Sickening.

[Ari Weil @AriWeil]

@owasow Thanks for sharing. I'll have to look more at early cases. An incredibly brave girl: "Everyone scattered except that girl; she stood her ground. She had just gotten fed up, she was not going to be abused anymore, she was going to defy this Jim Crow racism" https://t.co/lA6L46wc1L
