And dare I say as a DGS that, today, the world needs political science and statistics and history as much as it ever did. More than ever. It needs YOU, the early career scholars. Let’s go.

It’s fucking crazy as fuck that so many people still refuse to accept the reality of fossil fueled global heating, despite increasingly super obvious record land and ocean temperatures all over the place. What is wrong with you people you destroy any and all hope for our species

A&M’s Title IX office is understaffed and facing record complaints, officials say. Three Aggie women came forward with reports of Title IX inaction and months-long delays that led to alleged offenders receiving no consequences or disciplinary action. thebatt.com/news/title-ix-fa…

Great reporting on @tamu by @byJoshMoody, including confirmation of what many of us suspected: the MGT consultant report used to justify major campus reorganizations was a sham from the start, dictated by former president Kathy Banks. insidehighered.com/news/gove…

Can't believe how blatant this all is. But sure, let's keep talking about how (liberal) faculty are bringing partisan politics into higher education. So tired.

Texas A&M loves repeating its "core value" commitment to integrity, but these texts show deep, recurrent dishonesty from its senior leaders about matters at the heart of the university's mission. Shameful. @tamu

"In very exciting news, Disney will be visiting our campus on November 2nd & 3rd. The Disney recruiters would like to meet with Faculty & Staff across the university..." More of a comment than a question: Hocus Pocus 2... why?

In an surprise announcement at MediaFest22, The Battalion Staff won the inaugural @acpress @SPLC Student Press Freedom Award, for continued advocacy for student media following demands to cease print in February. We cannot thank SPLC enough for their support and for this honor.

Check out how abortion access has changed since the end of #RoevWade. I just launched a new abortion access dashboard you can use to visualize changes in travel distances and appointment availability as abortion bans ripple across the country. (1/7) abortionaccessdashboard.org

Excellent interview of @mcfuhrmann on cnn. I agree with him that the odds of Putin using nukes is still low (I would say very low while Matt said ‘relatively low.) Putin threatening to use nukes makes. Putin actually using nukes? I don’t see the benefit. cnn.com/2022/10/18/politics/…
