Alright! Here it is; the relaunch of this year's Ummatics Mentorship Program.

We are opening the call now. All mentee *or* mentor applications submitted by May 13 will receive a full review and priority consideration.

If you have any questions, reach out to me.

39% approval rating less than 100 days in.... wow. Things are moving in the wrong direction and fast. These morons took a strong economy and destroyed it within 3 months.

Major milestones today!

- Malina made potty in the bathroom for the first time
- Daddy finally forked over the money to fix the car's timing belt and other major engine repairs

So for those just stumbling upon my profile: I am a Professor of Political Science and International Relations at the International University of Sarajevo. I'm originally from the US (BA, Rutgers; MA, CUNY-GC; PhD, Purdue) and have been in Sarajevo 11 years.

First post here from 'that other social media platform.' I hope to find more engaging discussion here. One can only tolerate much white supremacist MAGA quackery before finally saying enough is enough.
