We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

Just presented at the #MethAtMigWS in Chemnitz, sharing insights from our TaRec project on how participatory approaches can improve the inclusion of Turkish migrants in social science surveys.
Thanks to the organizers for creating such a thoughtful and inspiring space!

Returning from @methatmig.bsky.social 4th workshop in Chemnitz ‘Between Data and Dialogue: Focusing on Participants in Migration Research’ So much interesting work! @bircantuba.bsky.social keynote ‘Bridging Algorithmic Insight and Participant Agency in Migration Research’ was brilliant.

Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up.

I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

If you don't have a Girl Scout in your life, and you need that sweet Samoa fix, please consider supporting Troop 6000 which serves girls in 20 NYC shelters. They deliver nationwide! What better way to make the world sweeter for everyone?

Thinking about the incredible life of Jimmy Carter: nuclear scientist, minister, president, husband, father, grandpa, farmer, volunteer, writer, poet, builder,Sunday school teacher, peacemaker, Nobel Prize winner. Perfect example that there are always opportunities for second acts (if we are brave).

It’s weird to think that Elon Musk will end up having paid far less for the United States Government than he did for Twitter

I knew it! There had to be a reason.

The Gaetz report was funded with public tax dollars.

It's OUR report. We paid for it.

Someone asked me the other day if it was weird to do this. NO! People will think about this email for weeks! Knowing you have someone besides your mom reading what you write is literally the best.
