@jbralston @ChloeJSKennedy @scotinoz I think I had a darker read on the last episode than you two. 🤨

[Severine Autesserre @SeverineAR]

As promised, here is the list that I've compiled: free online resources for emerging researchers who want to learn about the scholarly publication process.
Thanks to all of those who've sent me these suggestions! Hopefully the list will be helpful to many of our colleagues.

.@IvankaTrump, please tell him he "won" & the prize is he doesn't have to pretend to be president anymore.

[Zoe Marks @z_marks]

I'm tired of the narrative Trump doesn't know how to lose. He filed for bankruptcy SIX TIMES. He will quit when he's convinced it serves him & his debt-ridden bank accounts. https://t.co/NsZidcxoyB

More women in leadership plz. Yesterday's non-election moment was a powerful conversation on Feminist Foreign Policy with Mexico's Viceminister @marthadelgado & former deputy PM of Sweden @margotwallstrom, leading toward an accountable, environmental, feminist future @wapppHKS

[Politics After War @PAWscholars]

On this panel, we're also excited to hear @z_marks, Aliyu Zakayo (@Kennedy_School) and @reblitt speak about their research on gender differences in attitude toward reintegration & @aleortizayala on ideological identities & psychological barriers among state-armed actors.

It's @staceyabrams & it's every organizer in the @Mvmnt4BlkLives & it's everyone who put on a mask made a sign hit the streets & called for justice. It's @BlackVotersMtr @MsLaToshaBrown & everyone who registered, drove to the polls, & contributed to people power. #ChooseDemocracy

[Tom Bonier @tbonier]

One more note. In May and June, when Dem voter registration had bottomed out due to the pandemic and GOPs were outregistering Dems, it was the George Floyd/BLM demonstrations that created a huge Dem voter reg spike.

[Zoe Marks @z_marks]

Today I joined 100+ Black faith leaders & allies calling for mass nonviolent resistance & economic noncooperation, including a general strike, if Trump tries to steal the election. We'll mobilize sustained mass action to ensure we #DefendTheVote. join us: https://t.co/hnb7Akkusj

Please share these articles! I hope you find them enriching & inspiring. That they unsettle patterns of habit that lead to injustice and inequity. And that they unlock a broader conversation & creative potential in our worlds and work. I'm honored to be in community with y'all.

Long-time collaborators, @MarakujaDRC co-founders @GotMarchais Paulin Bazuzi & Aimable Amani Lameke's insightful, deeply reflexive analysis explains how race & whiteness continue to shape extractive research markets, undermining equitable collaborations: https://t.co/zH9001NOvE
