Excited to have the work @sbmitche, Elise Pizzi, and I published at ISQ!

We use novel data on government responses to natural disasters to investigate how international borders and border disputes influence who responds to disasters and how they do so.

@sbmitche @UiPolisci Happy to be a part of the Disasters Migration and Violence (DMV) lab team!

[Sara Mitchell @sbmitche]

Check out our newest publication from the DMV Lab in ISQ! We examine how disaster response differs in border vs. interior areas and how ongoing or settled territorial disputes alter disaster responses. @LappeAdam @UiPolisci

@sbmitche Central Asia is a fascinating area for border security!

I can't help but notice these lists of 'great men' are all men who were great at killing. In the case of Alexander or (fictional!) Achilles, great at killing and *nothing else.*

No scientists, artists, writers, humanitarians.

Just killers. Not quite my definition of greatness.

@sbmitche Great example of the environmental costs of border walls driving a wedge between countries!

U Iowa looks pretty good on these measures

I cannot believe all it took was for NIL to become legal to see the fall of the SEC

@JoFrhwld I just wanted to say, this exact question came up in my text analysis class yesterday and when we googled it, your tweet was the first thing to pop up

The government was never meant to be run like a company. Its bottom line isn’t profit margins, it’s people.

The notion that the government should be run like a business is an absurd one.

[Rep. Sylvia Garcia @RepSylviaGarcia]

Let’s be clear: the Department of Education exists because states wouldn’t fund poor schools, wouldn’t protect kids with disabilities, wouldn’t follow civil rights law, especially in the South. Anyone calling to abolish it is calling to turn back the clock—and we can’t let that happen.

This is why you pay attention during your social science gen Ed's!

It's not that the kid is wrong, it's that he's wrong with utter and serene confidence. When people ask me why I wrote The Death of Expertise, it wasn't ignorance that compelled me to write, it was this kind of unbreakable, completely self-assured stupidity that did it.

The haters said a trade war would tank the market.

They were correct.

Honesty, great call by the haters.
