CALL YOUR MEMBERS OF CONGRESS TO OPPOSE THE #StudentBan. Here are some helpful scripts (either short or long), with thanks to help from many, especially @ThatSaraGoodman and @NazitaLajevardi: docs.google.com/document/d/1m7…
Don't know their #s? Call the Capitol Switchboard and ask to be connected to your representative/senators. The switchboard # is: 202-224-3121 (operators answer 24 hrs/day, 365 days/year).

You can also use contactingcongress.org to find your members of Congress & their #s.
Image below is the short script and here is the link hyperlinked in that image: ice.gov/news/releases/… Image
Image below is the long script and here is the extra link hyperlinked in that image: nafsa.org/about/about-na… Image
Want to do more than call your members of Congress about the #StudentBan?

Thanks to @MiaMBloom, I also learned of this Twitter thread, which has great insights/instructions on HOW TO WRITE AN OP-ED IN YOUR LOCAL PAPER ABOUT THIS ISSUE:

Maybe you don't like talking on the phone? You can write an email (+ more) using this helpful document created by @devon_cantwell: docs.google.com/document/d/1Yj…
And maybe you want to do even more than what I've shared in this thread. Or maybe you need more background Check out this super helpful document, shared by @RoxanneRahnama: docs.google.com/document/u/0/d…
Using the long script shared above, it took me only 12 minutes to call the DC offices and leave messages for all three of my members of Congress (@KamalaHarris, @SenFeinstein, and @MarkTakano) to tell them that I oppose the #StudentBan.

🇱🇷So excited about @RobtelNeajai's @CUP_PoliSci book after reading @fulyafelicity's review today:

washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/… #APSRS21
@RobtelNeajai @CUP_PoliSci @fulyafelicity "This fascinating & innovative book is a must-read for researchers and policymakers working in the fields of migration, citizenship, diasporas and development as it offers fresh and alternative perspectives beyond traditional Eurocentric and Westphalian notions of citizenship."
@RobtelNeajai @CUP_PoliSci @fulyafelicity Here's a link to @CUP_PoliSci page for @RobtelNeajai's book, Development, (Dual) Citizenship and Its Discontents in Africa: cambridge.org/core/books/dev…

I'm concerned about the low rate of UCR students reporting they're vaccinated against COVID-19, as mandated by the UC. I was curious how other UCs were doing.

There are 9 UCs that teach undergrads. Of those, I could not find information for 4: UCI, UCLA, UCSB, UCSD.
Best performer of the 5 reporting data that I could find?

UC Berkeley (of course). As of today, >94% of Berkeley students report being vaccinated. coronavirus.berkeley.edu/dashboard/immu…
Not far behind them? The newest UC Campus: UC Merced (Central Valley represent!!!), with 89% of students "pharmaceutically compliant" with the vaccine mandate (additional students are compliant with the policy, but not vaccinated).

My mom tried to register as a voter to be eligible to cast a ballot in the Nov 3rd elections. She is not internet-savvy and struggled for 3 hours with the @NVSOS website to register online (using her phone, she has no computer), thinking she finally got her voter reg to submit.
During my weekend call w/her today, I checked online to see if she was successful (anyone in NV can check their voter reg status in link below). Gentle readers, she was almost in tears when I told her there were no records of her having registered. nvsos.gov/votersearch/
Registering my mom would take me at most 5 minutes to do. I have a computer and I know how to submit online forms. My mother, an immigrant to this country who has a third-grade education and for whom English is a second-language, has never owned a computer in her life.

As someone who has studied presidential ill health, let me say it’s important to remember the motivations of political elites whose primary source of power comes through their relationship with the sick president.
Want more background?

Here’s the academic article I wrote with @bonidulani, in which we caution against relying too much on constitutional provisions to guide succession, especially in the case of presidential ill health: academic.oup.com/afraf/article/…
And here is a @monkeycageblog piece I wrote based on that research, looking at the case of #Zambia’s president becoming ill in office (but also talking about the US Constitution’s 25th amendment): washingtonpost.com/news/monkey-ca…

wow. I'm missing my halmonee something fierce this morning.
for the record, she swore and wore mens' underwear, but after a few years in the US, she learned how to bake cookies.
in a fit of despair about everything in America earlier this week, I did the math and realized that my halmonee moved to a new country where she didn't speak the language when she was 5 years older than I am right now. she lived a whole second life.

I'm so proud of our 1st episode in @UfahamuAfrica's 5th season! You can literally hear the difference in sound quality, which is all thanks to the talent of @MeganDeMint. Her work is made possible through the generous support of @CarnegieCorp. Hear it: 👇🏼soundcloud.com/ufahamuafrica/…

For 2 years, I've been lucky to get to catch up every week with my dear friend + colleague + co-host @BeattyRiedl. In this episode, we talk about what we look forward to in Season 5. In this snippet, I mentioned @OumarKBa, whose episode is coming soon!
