How is White House demolition happening so quickly?! I live in a historic district in Madison, Wisconsin - and it takes a LONG time to get approval for any even minor change to one’s property. How can the bulldozers just be pulling the east wing apart, and why is no one stopping it?? Sigh…

Great start to #IPC2025 in beautiful Brisbane, Australia! Legendary demographer Peter McDonald noted the dramatic change in analytic tools during his lifetime. Amidst all that can now be done from home with new data/methods: “don’t forget the real world because that is where life happens.” #IUSSP

Nancy, hi! So glad to see you on Bluesky. Hope you are doing as well as possible in these times…!

Really helpful advice for those whose NEH awards are being cut in the current environment. Thanks, @jasonrhody.bsky.social ! We need insights from the humanities now more than ever…

Grateful to @booker.senate.gov for speaking so courageously for 25+ hours! His effort has given so many of us hope and energy. Love that he has made history in this way toward “good trouble” (in the spirit of John Lewis)! Thank you, Senator Booker.

What a deal on this important book by my amazing colleague @jessicacalarco.bsky.social !

This is truly awful. I am so sorry.

Rin, I am so sorry to hear this terrible news…The work that you and Deb have been doing is important and necessary.
