Think about how insane this is. The US government is literally arguing, in court, that people living on this planet do not have a right to a liveable climate.

This is more than sociopathic; it is genocidal. It is a worldview that can only mean extinction.

WE WILL NO LONGER USE the GRE for admissions decisions in keeping w/ a nationwide trend and under advice from @umichgradschool & @umichLSA. Studies show GRE correlates w/ economic status, race & gender rather likelihood of grad school success. Pls RT #GRExit

Black boys get a lot of attention when it comes to unfair disciplinary action. That attention is warranted. But, black girls are being overly punished, too. Really striking story of a black girl in Houston & accompanying facts and figures that illustrate this overlooked crisis.

"Empowerment" is a "neoliberal word that places the responsibility for combating systems on individuals...Empowerment & power are not the same. We must quit mistaking the two. Better yet, we must quit settling for one when what we really need is the other." - Brittney Cooper.

We are so excited that our partners on Capitol Hill have reintroduced the National American #LatinoMuseum Act in Congress. We need a museum to share & celebrate our history in our nation's capital!

Sounds like a good read for planners interested in political participation... And good research design!

[Kris Kanthak @kramtrak]

So, as promised, I have some thoughts on @povertyscholar’s “Fragmented Democracy” and they mostly boil down to this: You should teach this book because it allows you to talk about how to do excellent political science research....

Too often I enter a bathroom at top universities and think: how can we possibly stop the worst effects of climate change.

@cblatts Images based on theoretical predictions nearly indistinguishable from actual one... Isn't that nice.
