I am once again flush with 48-hour Amtrak upgrade coupons - hit me up if you want a business-class upgrade for your next train! (Some restrictions apply)
Frequent Wolverine riders: anyone know if the cafe car is closed after Ann on the way to Detroit? I want to give our guests the full Amtrak experience but I just remembered they don't usually open it until after Ann Arbor on the way out so it might be closed...
So obviously there have been a lot of anecdotes, but I wanted to put real numbers forward despite the small sample. I talked to 25 Jewish voters today in Michigan.
Here is how they voted in 2020:
17- Biden
2- Trump
6- Independent, did not vote, or Blank
Now I asked what they would do if the election was tomorrow:
- 12 committed to Trump
- 4 wavering between Trump and Other/Blank
- 6 committed to Other/blank
- 3 wavering between Biden and Other/Blank
Not one person said they were definitively committed to voting for Biden at this point. Admittedly these were all voters above 30, but many are traditional Dem voters. Dems can ignore these voters if they want, but this phenomenon is very real.

@P_Muniz_@mmlopezu@DanaSisou@shiranbenzeev I'm not going to summarize 75+ years of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict in 1 tweet. In short, Gaza wouldn't be under attack if Hamas terrorists didnt break through the border and kill 1300 people.
Thousands killed through indiscriminate bombs, many of them kids. An entire country being torn to pieces. The world just watching, the US funding it, no government doing anything about it. No criticisms, no sanctions. Just more escalating violence every day. When does it stop?
@mmlopezu@DanaSisou@shiranbenzeev Whered you get these numbers from? Even Hamas' "data" haven't noted so many people killed in 2 days. It's sad when any civilians are killed but this situation is a lot more complex than just looking at which group has had more casualties in the last few weeks.
This is the dumpster outside of a dorm, the garbage truck is right around the corner. All this stuff is usable condition. What are we doing?!
Anybody's schools have good examples of swaps or donation systems for students moving out of the dorms?
Wow, got a request to review a 20 page proposal from grad student, whose instructor requires these to be reviewed exclusively from ppl external to the school. This is main piece for student to get credit. How is this good practice from the teacher? Or am I overreacting?
Very excited to share that I’ve accepted a Visiting Lecturer position at College of Saint Mary in Omaha! This means I will temporarily be moving back to Nebraska to teach the Spring semester while also finishing my PhD. Grateful for the opportunity to be close to family again.❤️
