I'm maid of honor in my best friend's wedding this March, and I would like to start a movement of putting nonconventional leadership roles on our CV. Planning a bachelor trip for 10+ people I think is more indicative of my project management skills than some of my research positions were, tbh

I submitted a free survey question to @verasight.bsky.social at MPSA this year asking respondents whether they believe the term “far right” describes their politics: got some interesting results! One crosstab and full question results here, I welcome any thoughts!

Trump’s inauguration today signals a troubling alignment with global far-right extremism. Among the invited guests are leaders and figures who champion anti-LGBTQ+, anti-immigrant, and authoritarian ideologies. Here’s a breakdown of who’s in DC right now🧵👇
