Academic job alert! The Dep’t of Political science at NC State will be hiring for a race/ethnicity position this fall. The general madness with universities has meant we’re still waiting in final details from HR, but the position and funding have been approved. Be ready! Happy to answer questions.

One of the key ways you refuse to comply with fascism is by becoming even louder and more fearless in supporting vulnerable people. You SHOW that you are unwilling to throw the "undesirables" under the bus if only for self-preservation because under fascism you will also become undesirable one day.

The ACIP vote was tied 6-6 for requiring everyone to get a prescription for the COVID19 vaccine.

The chair broke the tie by voting NO.

Prescriptions will NOT be required.

I moved into a new apartment. First night, no furniture or belongings, just sleeping bags and suitcases. Black cat goes missing. Couldn't figure out where he could be hiding, b/c no place to hide. Finally find him by shining a flashlight up the fireplace to see his eyes reflected back.

John Oliver: "While get the appeal of thinking just one more concession, one more payoff might safeguard your independence or let you live to fight another day, it's worth asking at what point have you compromised so much that
the thing you're supposed to be defending is gone."

I don't want to start a thing so I'll just say that there will never be a good argument for privatizing USPS. That would be like privatizing libraries. The aim of services isn't to be run for profit, they are for serving the greater good, which USPS has been extremely successful at.
