Happy❤️Day! Enjoy some tidbits re: how US voters view marriage and monogamy from Change Research's May 2023 survey.

This weekend is the 58th Super Bowl and the 1st Swiftie World Cup (™). To celebrate, Change Research surveyed 1534 registered voters nationally from Feb 6-8.

Swifties plan to watch the game in large #’s, and a plurality are rooting for the Chiefs.

Holy shit. President Biden just blanket pardoned all federal marijuana possession and marijuana use charges. whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…

Youngkin has made it very clear. If Republicans take control of the VA General Assembly, he will issue an abortion ban in the state.

this is so achingly poignant. and to further albert's point, someone once told me a lot of homelessness works like this: 'it's not necessarily about running out of money. you just happen to run out of people.' as it was, jordan clearly had no people there on that train.

Jordan Neely just needed some help: defector.com/jordan-neely-j…

I research youth political attitudes. In focus groups, they tell me how they want leaders to respond to abortion rights rollbacks like the mifepristone restrictions.
In my latest TIME op-ed, I show they want 1) concrete policy response and 2) defiance time.com/6272690/democr…

Absolutely stupidest thing I've ever heard. School shooters do not shoot up a school expecting to survive. You don't need a stronger deterrent.

Tired: 'Don't believe the fake polls!'
Wired: 'Polls are more reliable than actual election results'

I think this is a willfully cynical and shallow take. Being an exclusive academic institution and excluding/alienating members of your own community are quite obviously not the same thing, and btw, benign neglect is a form of exclusion. DEI is valuable and essential.

What a great group of students and discussion! Thank you to Jonae Wartel for having me!

I spent a lot of time in 2022, post-Dobbs, trying to quantify and understand the electoral impact of the decision. Now that we have vote history in 41 states, we can talk about what actually happened.

Hell yes. And, conveniently, we actually KNOW what the majority of DC residents want! hitstrat.com/majority-white…

Friendly reminder:

(1) LOOK for reputable public data before you declare there isn't any
(2) Data good. Vibes-based Hot Takes bad.
(3) Not weighing in is always an option when you don't have evidence. See (1) and (2).

A patient was yelling at someone, then at me. I had a few options.

1) Call security.
2) Keep walking.
3) Go confront him.
4) Go find his nurse. (The RNs love this. But really. They don’t.)
5) Ask him what he needed.

You might have guessed I picked 5. Here’s what happened:

I am on my knees BEGGING liberals to drop this framing.

In light of tonight's #sotu2023 , re-upping my team's research on reimagining public safety conducted by HIT Strategies and Change Research. As President Biden correctly points out: we cannot rely on police to solve every problem if we truly want safer communities.

President Biden also acknowledges the need to prevent crime by addressing root causes - lack of economic opportunity and social services. We need to fund education, housing, and healthcare if we want to build safer communities. #sotu2023 HIT Strategies Change Research
