Think about how insane this is. The US government is literally arguing, in court, that people living on this planet do not have a right to a liveable climate.

Black boys get a lot of attention when it comes to unfair disciplinary action. That attention is warranted. But, black girls are being overly punished, too. Really striking story of a black girl in Houston & accompanying facts and figures that illustrate this overlooked crisis.

"Empowerment" is a "neoliberal word that places the responsibility for combating systems on individuals...Empowerment & power are not the same. We must quit mistaking the two. Better yet, we must quit settling for one when what we really need is the other." - Brittney Cooper.

Sounds like a good read for planners interested in political participation... And good research design!

How much does mass partisan polarization filter down to local politics? In a new paper w/ @AmalieJensen_, Scheve, and Slaughter, we find that there's limited polarization over many policy proposals related to local economic development. williammarble.co/docs/CityLimit…
