Folks who supported me in 2017-18 might be getting a lot of email from another campaign right about now. If so ... I'm sorry! I am no longer involved in Democratic politics & I didn't approve or authorize them contacting you. Feel free to say 'no thx' or hit 'unsubscribe.' 🚫💻📞

I'm really excited to be part of the team behind Good Authority: goodauthority.org. Having helped found The Monkey Cage 16 years ago, I know Good Authority will continue the tradition of public-facing political science.

We will be launching soon. Stay tuned!

I am not really using Twitter (errr, X?) very much anymore, but I saw this post & wanted to give a shout-out for DSS! I used this book last semester, and I think it's great. Well-organized, clear, tractable ... what's not to love? 📈❤️💻📚

It's hard to think of parallels to what's happening in Guatemala right now. A corrupt judge authorizes corrupt prosecutors to raid the offices of an independent branch of gov't and threaten arrest of election officials, raid offices of a political party, cancel the party's...

Thanks to my friend Harry Brown Araúz for sending this photo from Buenos Aires. Right-wing presidential candidate Gabriel Santiago Cúneo is going to govern “a lo Bukele.” The Salvadorian leader has become a model for right-wing candidates across Latin America!

A good story on the ouster of CICIG & efforts to undermine #Guatemala ’s election👇

One more key pt: 🇺🇸 is at least partly to blame. If the Trump admin hadn’t abandoned CICIG, it would prob still exist & current crisis would be nonexistent or less severe. abcnews.go.com/International/…

In #Guatemala , current pres Giammattei's admin is trying every possible trick to disqualify 2nd place finisher Arévalo, who should be headed to the runoff.

Makes me wonder: what are they so scared of? What terrible facts would Arévalo uncover if he wins?

A v bad day for democracy in #Guatemala .😢

The “pacto de corruptos” is fighting back vs the will of the people, trying to suspend (for no real reason) the party of the anti-corruption (surprise) 2nd place finisher, who should be advancing to pres runoff. nytimes.com/2023/07/13/wor…

And my Twitter has disintegrated into a pile of conspiracy theories and political provocation. I don’t recognize anything/anyone in my feed, nor do I find it useful or interesting. Maybe this is finally the end?

Our son is among the 36,000 kids waiting beyond recommended times ⁦CHEO Ottawa⁩. After a yr waiting for an appt that should’ve happened w/i 6 mo, he’s no closer to being seen (as far as I can tell). And yes, that was a factor in our decision to move. ☹️ theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…

People should be paying more attention to what is happening in Guatemala. After the initial optimism caused by Arévalo & Semilla's surprising result in the first round of elections, there's a growing sense the elite are closing ranks to ward off the threat they didn't see coming.
