This is why I research communication and interactional behaviors. Seeking to understand a person’s perspective, gently querying their roots, and respectfully sharing alternative ideas and facts, will have a greater impact than making someone feel belittled or unworthy

That is certainly one benefit of supporting our allies in the US beyond championing their safety and human rights. Global action is needed to demonstrate unchecked power will not be tolerated in order to limit the spread of such toxic leadership abroad

What are the three best things citizens of other countries across the globe (e.g., Australia) do to support?

@marcelias.bsky.social, thank you for all you do for US (and, by proxy, international) politics. If you need an international perspective, reach out via our other official mechanisms

@mcuban.bsky.social Agreed, perfectly said. PhD in social justice and education (past teacher, school leader, now education academic w/PhD). Inclusive education is my specialization (improving systems for ALL children)…Let’s chat about better, leadership sustainability if you’re interested 😉

A perfectly said sentiment. Here is me: Advocate of social justice and education (past teacher, school leader, now education academic w/PhD). Inclusive education is my specialization (improving systems for ALL children)…Let’s chat about better, leadership sustainability if you’re interested 😉

Any (current and/or influential) Academic Starter Pack being imitated in the near future? Let’s target all angles 😉

These are dark days, with darker clouds looming.
The sun will rise on a new tomorrow, one that will cast the greatest shadows on what we live through today.

Agreed, albeit, any assumption of intellectual intelligence is irrelevant. We need to listen to hear, and then respond accordingly. Qual and quant data and analysis will be critical, as well as the quality of researchers involved in such investigations.

So, the big question, what do we learn? How do we move forward stronger, faster, more aligned with the voters’ primary positions?

Thank you. So much to be doubtful about…I get it. Education matters. And Democracy Docket offer insights to a better way forward. Because we can, and do, deserve better: #liftcivicliteracy

I say this as a social science academic with an education background and PolySci field interest. Happy to chat further if you would like to explore another take on this ongoing exploration into what happened, and where to next.

I’m not disagreeing with your statements as a whole (in my own field, I face a lot of this), but I also caution the reduction of scientific knowledge. What the average person ‘sees’ via social media likely does not represent society as a whole (not all use SM), and some ‘academics’ play a SM game

It’s the wrong question. The correct one/s hasn’t been explored…

Right back at ya’…
