A Curious Delver, a People Person, a Skeptical Quant

[Dan Shafer @DanRShafer]

Five years ago, the Republican-controlled state legislature's first "gavel in, gavel out" of the Evers Era was on two gun violence prevention bills that polled with ~80% support.

The convenient thing about how the term “woke” has evolved is that it allows me to quickly identify patently unserious people when they use it.

[David L. Simmons @DLSimmonsPhD]

It’s happening on every campus in the UW system, too—half a million to a consultant here, a million or so to consultant there, all telling the same story about “innovation,” “nimbleness,” & fear-mongering about demographic cliffs—remember this when your program is on the block.

[Jon Shelton @prof_shelton]

This is a very important story. UW system (and campuses) are spending gobs of money on for-profit consultants while our campuses starve and our students don’t have what they need to succeed. @AFTunion @AFTHigherEd @AFTWisconsin @harveyjkaye @DLSimmonsPhD @BisforBerkshire

[Rep. Mark Pocan @RepMarkPocan]

Immigrants didn’t make your healthcare unaffordable. Trans people didn’t ship jobs overseas.

The ultra-rich did. Billionaires scapegoat marginalized people to hide their greed.

Don’t fall for it.

[Senator Chris Larson @SenChrisLarson]

Expecting our kids' schools to offer the same level of education as years past without adjusting their funding to inflation is lunacy.

This next state budget is our chance to fix this problem once and for all. Our kids and their teachers deserve it!

[Paul Blest @pblest]

The American people have spoken. And they want the president to live in jail

[Mark S. Zaid @MarkSZaidEsq]

At least I still have my law license and haven't been indicted.

So, yes, pretty clever.

[Jennifer Doleac @jenniferdoleac]

I have an op-ed in the @nytimes today about how to reduce crime.
The key idea, based on decades of strong research evidence: focus on increasing the probability of getting caught, not the punishment.

My response for my client @OliviaTroye to President Trump's nominee for Director of the Federal Bureau Of Investigation (#FBI) #KashPatel's threat of a forthcoming defamation lawsuit.

📣 Good news alert 📣

thanks to an anonymous donor, the Milwaukee Art Museum will now be FREE forever for all kids 12 and under

[Kid Riles @kid_riles]

Meanwhile, in Wisconsin…

[T. Rowe @mimzyrowe]

@DanRShafer Run again. No Trump on the ballot in 26

[Everything Price Sufferer (but especially eggs) @agraybee]

He was consistently the most popular person in the race.

[John B. Holbein @JohnHolbein1]

When universities hire chief diversity officers, it has *no effect* on the diversity of faculty or university administrator hires.

[Liz Charboneau @lizchar]

I fear it will be the department of health and human services

[Jon Shelton @prof_shelton]

This is very important. Certainly not enough to consider this any kind of realignment. The effective incumbent lost the last three presidential elections. That tells you our economy isn’t working for working people, and hasn’t for quite some time.

[Matt Duss @mattduss]

The Post’s editorials don’t carry nearly the weight that they used to but this is still an embarrassment, a laundering of official talking points designed to flatter elite assumptions rather than trouble them. Cowardly.

The masses at BluSky are clamoring for @ass_deans to post there
