Good news that @macfound saw the importance of #rural livelihoods and #justice in selecting @AshwoodLoka for one of the 2024 Genius Grants. #lifeinrural #ruralmatters #democracy #environment
Thrilled for my friend and @ruralsociology colleague Loka Ashwood on her recognition as a MacArthur Genius/ #MacFellow. She's an extraordinary embodiment of vision, energy, and compassion, all marshaled in the service of #rural people and their communities. #Justice

I'm just catching up on the evening and wondering, asking, seriously: Did the word "rural" get used tonight at any time?

Delighted to chat with the inimitable @haileybranson for this textured portrait of @Tim_Walz and his two #Nebraska hometowns, Valentine and Butte. #lifeinrural #ruralmatters #ruralvote #theplains
Tim Walz leans heavily on his upbringing in rural Nebraska. I went to his tiny, conservative hometowns of Valentine and Butte, where his Democratic politics are — let’s just say a little awkward. (I also talked to his mom’s lawn mower!) https://t.co/iEt8XT6eVr @latimes
@JDVance is still pessimistic, but has also migrated to bitter ...

Walz and Vance both will tout their rural backgrounds. Vance, in the introduction to “Hillbilly Elegy,” said of Greater Appalachia, to which he traces his family’s roots: “My home is a hub of misery,” and “we’re a pessimistic bunch.”
The more I learn about @GovTimWalz's background--including his decidedly non-elite education--the more I like him. That said, I don't like this newish "weird" label and wish he had not started it. #lifeinrural #ruralmatters
.@GovTimWalz represents the course-correction on class, rural & regional messaging that Dems have needed for decades. As someone for whom PLACE outstrips every other identity, I've never felt seen or represented in the White House in my lifetime & that would change with VP Walz.
Tim Walz on Morning Joe: "People like JD Vance know nothing about small-town America ... it's not about hate, it's not about collapsing in. The golden rule there is mind your own damn business ... they're running for the He-Man Women's Hater Club."
Looking forward to all the conversations and fun in Madison @RuralSociology Annual Meeting, July 24-28. #rural #lifeinrural #ruralmatters @Haksgaard @ShoemakerJess @julrichschad @pmkelly3 @jacklin_jillian @anthonypipa

Congratulations, Hailey! Outstanding! Well deserved. #lifeinrural #ruralmatters #k12 #ruralschools #ModocCounty #California
Honored to win 1st place for coverage of youth and education for my series last year on rural schools, including stories about a teaching shortage that makes it hard to offer state-mandated TK and longer bus routes that challenge electric bus batteries. https://t.co/ngmFt5870z
Very excited to publish "Mustering the political will to help left-behind places in a polarized USA" in the Cambridge Journal of Regions, Economy & Society @CamJRES special issue on #leftbehind places. #rural #lifeinrural #ruralmatters #spatialinequality

Met with Dems up in the mountains of Madison County this morning!
We talked rural livelihoods, and how we deserve leadership that knows how to invest in rural areas.
*If it’s not any better than this year, I think our rural schools will cave,” she said. “I think that’s probably the purpose—that if we have less schools, then the monies can go to privates and charters.* Incredible reporting from Oklahoma https://t.co/i2kV6NiqmE
Thanks to our Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the Arkansas Valley Conduit will help supply clean drinking water to more than 50,000 people in Southeastern Colorado! 👉
Time for remote docket! Today I will hear 20 cases in four counties that, if held in person, would take 8 hours of driving over 3 or 4 days. Instead, litigants/lawyers have the option of appearing remotely, and as a result we will do a week's worth of settings in a single day.
WATCH: Spotlight on Rural California featuring @J_GallagherAD3, @ShannonGroveCA, Chris Lopez (@RuralCounties), and @AshleyCVCF (@CentralValleyCF). #PPICevents #CAleg #CAeconomy https://t.co/J0LPzpiU8G
Extraordinary event w @MicheleStatz @MaybellRomero @anthony_schutz @kelseaksutton @yeargain and many others. I, too, should have been live tweeting but didn’t want to miss a moment. @USDKnudsonLaw #ruralmatters #lifeinrural #lawyers #ATJ
Important, poignant story by @haileybranson from #rural northern #California where #poverty rates are high & many #k12 students have had or are having #aces, adverse childhood experiences. At the same time, these communities tend to suffer social service deficits. #lifeinrural
Professor @lisareneepruitt spoke to the @latimes for this story about an odds-defying Modoc County teen and the crisis among young people in rural Northern California. https://t.co/lgQ7Zu99P8
Always look forward to reading your powerful stories and, once in a while, I even get to provide some context, here on lack of anonymity and rural invisibility in the context of a highly urban state. #lifeinrural #ruralmatters #k12 #adversechildhoodexperiences #HigherEducation
My @latimes story on a resilient rural California teenager who was essentially homeless for two years is in print today on the front page. Or give it a read here: https://t.co/vZtoUIhd2V
Proud to join @SenSchumer and @SenatorBennet to introduce the Rural Outdoor Investment Act to promote economic growth in rural communities by investing in outdoor recreation infrastructure.
This bill will help our communities & protect our outdoor spaces for generations to come.
