My @OUPPolitics book #NowheretoRun is out today!
It’s an intersectional analysis of opportunities for descriptive representation, focused on women and men from Asian American and Latinx communities.
Can’t wait to engage w/ everyone about this work.

I'm the one who writes books about politics in LA and Asian American candidates, but my 8 year old let me know today:
"@kennethmejiaLA won because he had that cute dog in a Sherlock Holmes costume."
The kid's not wrong, the corgie is in the equation.
Solidarity Forever.

Listening to @IvyAMCargile give context for K McCarthy’s new leadership role on NPR. Great way to start the day!
The giddiness of the msnbc coverage is stressing me out. Eating a bag of leftover sour patch kids every time they speculate on a race that is too close to call.
Also someone get Kornacki some paper clips.🤓

It is raining heavily in Los Angeles & other parts of California today. Could this have impact on vote?
Some poli sci research shows yes.

New research from @BU_PoliSci's @cmslaughter indicates that optimism is particularly potent among Black women willing to participate in the political process—including signing petitions, joining a community organization, handing out flyers, and voting. ➡️ spr.ly/6005MsaX9
ALT “It’s very easy to fall into the doom and gloom of what’s occurring and our political landscape,” says Christine Slaughter, a Boston University College of Arts & Sciences assistant professor of political science. There are a lot of emotions that can drive people to the polls—hope, anger, fear, belief in a particular candidate or ideology—but Slaughter is particularly interested in the political behavior and participation of Black voters in the United States, especially their optimism.

I got 10 mailers today. In one day.
Five calls and three door knocks.
Even a mailer in TAGALOG.
There is a drought but it is raining political $$$ here in LA right now.
I was just telling someone TODAY that I feel bad for my students who don’t get my SWV references during lecture—they are missing some greatness.
And yes, they probably also think I need to update my jokes.
Many many interesting and important toplines in this report, but this one caught my 👀:
61 % of white evangelical protestants agree that "society has become too soft and feminine."
Would love to see the race*gender breakouts on this question.

Exciting things are happening at LATINAS REPRESENT. Today, with the Center for American Women and Politics @CAWP_RU , we are launching the "Latinas in U.S. Politics 2022" report. Click here to view it all now. latinasrepresent.org/reports… #LATINASREPRESENT #womeninpolitics
Thoughtful context from @ProfJonCollins for interpreting the release of "the National Report Card" this week . Testing is just one tool among many for assessment, and relying on it entails high costs for other aspects of learning.
Yesterday, the Dept. of Edu released test scores from around the nation. Before school leaders and policymakers panic, it's a good time to remember that testing doesn't matter, only assessment that forms a pathway to growth. My latest @pdkintl explains:
