My new article with @trounstine shows hundreds of city governments had organized employees by the 1930s-1950s. Despite different legal contexts before 1960, the timing & location of early public-sector organization had more in common with private-sector organization than is often recognized.

I am happy to share my @ConversationUS piece with @KatySchumaker on the relationship between restrictive voting laws post-2020 and 2022 turnout levels. Spoiler: Rep and southern states suffered the most. In OK Ind voters were mainly affected. VOTE, Y'ALL! theconversation.com/most-rep…

I am thrilled to share my @CNN segment on @TheSourceCNN. As my colleague @profsamperry says, nobody should know who your state's superintendent of schools is. Especially when that superintendent is prioritizing culture wars over student health and safety. cnn.com/2024/10/04/politics/…

All I know is we need to know what @NyronNCrawford has to say about all of this re: Eric Adams!!!! In the meantime read his book.
Replying to @theatlantavoice
Eric Adams to @cbsnewyork: “I always knew that If I stood my ground for New Yorkers that I would be a target—and a target I became. If I am charged, I am innocent and I will fight this with every ounce of my strength and spirit.” 📸: @PictureMane

Polling shows that Kamala Harris has strong support among Black voters, but some argue that may not be enough to secure a win this fall. @ProfBenjamin (@UofOklahoma) says neither candidate should take Black voters for granted. #2024Election. @Newsweek: buff.ly/3MVeqj3
