I'm on a quest to find great (and I suppose, not so great) examples of interviews to share with my students for a class on interviewing methods. Please share your favorites! #sociology #interviewing

Tehran is 380 square miles. It has a population of 10 million people.

If you cannot imagine that then imagine evacuating New York population just 8.5 million. Imagine the logistics, the roads— pregnant women? Children? Elderly?

This is just an announcement of a mass execution of innocents.

I have lived in authoritarianism before, and participated in a popular movement against it. My political voice was born in it. I was just talking to a friend - this moment is *triggering* because it feels like so few people are reacting on the magnitude of what I know is coming.

8/8. So, if you’re feeling down about these attacks, I understand—I feel that way too. But just remember that they’re not attacking because your work doesn’t matter; they’re attacking *precisely* because it does. So, get some rest, connect with your people, and keep doing it.

Maternal death rate isn't as bad if you don't count Black women, GOP senator says

Louisiana's Bill Cassidy said the state's maternal death rate isn't so high if you "correct our population for race," Politico reported.
