Female academics are much more affected by the birth of a child than are male academics.

Academic mothers are much more likely to...

◾temporarily leave the labor force

◾and, if they return, shift away from tenure-track positions.

Based on crowd-sourced records of No Kings Day event turnout, and extrapolating for the cities where we don't have data yet, it looks like roughly 4-6 million people protested Trump across the U.S. yesterday. That's nearly 2% of the U.S. pop!

Mobilized anti-Trump resistance is exceeding 2017 levels
"No Kings Day" protests turn out millions
Our unofficial estimate is that around 4 million people attended a protest event yesterday. Anti-Trump resistance is outpacing 2017.

Eine Analyse der prog. Positionen von Union und AfD zu den 37 Bund- und Landtagswahlen seit 2013 deutet darauf hin, dass eine Annäherung der Union an die Positionen der AfD eher mit einem höheren Stimmenanteil für die AfD verbunden ist. Ein Beitrag für den DVPW Blog. www.dvpw.de/blog/schwaec...
