CBS wouldn't let Stephen Colbert interview James Talarico... so he did it on THE LATE SHOW's YouTube page. Here is the interview the network didn't want you to see. https://t.co/nwRmCfGuRO

Reject calls for passive ‘neutrality’ and develop integrated plans to promote student voting, say Jonathan Becker, Erin Cannan and Yael Bromberg

Long read from @maryilyushina on 🇷🇺 higher ed.

@JBeckerCCE : "We [Bard/Smolny program] were doubly problematic because we both represent critical thinking & partnership with the West. And neither of those are acceptable in present-day Russia.”

@marcmolinaro @transportworker Don't you have better things to do than to demonstrate Maga bone fides to whomever (and I don't really believe that is who you are). Come on Marc: this is truly pathetic. No more polls to decide your "stance." Is Columbia the most important issue facing the country Embarrassing.

[Jonathan Becker @JBeckerCCE]

When college students in Dutchess County were systematically disenfranchised, @marcmolinaro said nothing. When his county BOE manipulated a disabilities report of a student poll site he knew well, crickets. Now he weighs in on university presidents. Disgusting. @JoshRileyUE

First voter today in Red Hook (two hours after polls opened).

[Jonathan Becker @JBeckerCCE]

In 2016, @realDonaldTrump Trump said @tedcruz “illegally stole” the Iowa caucuses, and called for the results to be nullified. He later called the Colorado caucuses “crooked” and “rigged” when he lost there too. Has he ever accepted defeat without saying he was cheated?

[Jonathan Becker @JBeckerCCE]

@JohnFKelly1988 @marcmolinaro Typical coverage of all sides of the issue. Instead of weasel votes speak up and call on the speaker to support assistance. And declare the you will
Sign the discharge petition. Can’t have it all ways all the time.

[Jonathan Becker @JBeckerCCE]

@marcmolinaro And as someone who studies Russia and can tell you that Russia is responsible for mass deaths in Ukraine- and yet you are complicit in denying aid.

An N.Y. Law Mandates Campus Polling Sites. Why Are There Still So Few?

Activists were excited about a law requiring polling places on campuses with more than 300 registered voters. But its implementation has proven slow and erratic. #HigherEd https://t.co/qjAQDqpsMC

@BardCollege @allintovote @GenVoteUS @AndrewGoodmanF @NYPIRG @YaelBromberg @DemocracyMatrz @davidhogg111 @marceelias @mayawiley Here’s the Times Union op-ed calling for action by state, BOEs and college officials. (@rickhasen). https://t.co/z0hoQxmcoz

[Jonathan Becker @JBeckerCCE]

Great piece on our work to enforce NY law for on-campus poll sites: “If colleges and universities remain silent [about] a law providing the opportunity for students to vote more easily, then they’re not fulfilling their mission.” ⁦⁦⁦⁦ https://t.co/BB1nnIgoEN
