@WVUPolicyRes - a 🧵

If you follow me, you'll know that earlier this year I came home to #WestVirginia and @WestVirginiaU @WVUEberly to start the Institute for Policy Research and Public Affairs. Our Twitter account is above, and we'd appreciate a follow.
Our account will cover research, data, and issues important to the state of #WestVirginia and the broader region of #Appalachia, but will touch on issues important nationally in areas like ours.
We also aim to signal-boost research by scholars working in #publicpolicy, #publicadministration, and #stateandlocal #socialscience. If you have work that you think is relevant to our aims, please dm us and we'll be happy to #Tweet you and your work.
We also welcome anyone who'd like to partner on research initiatives - scholars, non-profits, or private-sector folks. Just dm us and we are ready to engage.
And finally, because one is an apparition these days without a home on the web, check us out at rockefellerschool.wvu.edu/policy-research

@Appalachia100 and @theintercept asked me to discuss social and political transition in #WestVirginia. A 🧵
What drove a West Virginia Democrat to storm the Capitol on January 6? interc.pt/3HJbD7X by @GWOTTrapLordz, twitter.com/PNickCurran, @akela_lacy
An important thread in this documentary that is often lost in discussions of these transitions is that they owe in part to a failure on the #Left to message and frame (a failure I personally think describes the last 40 years of #DemocraticParty politics).
One can't even begin to discuss these transitions in #WestVirginia without understanding the historic role of labor in organizing the cluster of identities. As labor goes, so does the #Left's ability to organize identities in a meaningful way.
