Movie you’ve watched more than six times using gifs. (Hard mode for me is not using Indiana Jones).

So excited to announce that I have accepted a position as a lecturer in the political science department at Christopher Newport University. It was a long road to get here but with hard work and a decent amount of luck along the way I have ended up in the perfect place for me!

⚖️ Last month, the ICC authorized an arrest warrant for former Philippines President Duterte, who is accused of the crime against humanity of murder in relation to the “war on drugs.” My just-published @brookings.edu commentary discusses this dramatic development. www.brookings.edu/articles/why...
Why did the Philippines turn over its former president to the ICC?
If the Philippines Rodrigo Duterte’s case is any indication, a leader’s streak of avoiding accountability can run out.

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.

Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

I got a book the day it came out like most people do with movies or albums because I am a giant nerd lol. Looking forward to this one.

While it matters much, much less than all the other things happening in the world, it has been kind of wild to witness in real time over the last two years the absolute collapse of Biden’s presidential legacy.

One of the common threads I see in a lot of the people that have become more open to supporting Trump is an interest in “wellness” or other odd health behaviors; also interesting to see how many people who liked Sanders in 2015 are just full on MAGA now.
