⭐️NEW PUBLICATION⭐️ With @sadiemdempsey and the @UW_CCCR team, we detail how local Republican parties lay the groundwork for #StopTheSteal and January 6th in 2020 and how they might do so again!
"The #StopTheSteal movement was a planned, coordinated, months-long campaign to convince the public that the 2020 election was stolen through fraud and that Donald Trump had won." journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/00…
Last spring I wrote a curriculum on hate crimes in Wisconsin. Today watched 500 high school students in a small town use it to start conversations about addressing hate and discrimination in their community. Wisconsin educators on here, check it out! communitypoweredwi.org/stand-up-to-ha…
Celebrating small things in this moment. Wisconsin's State Parks are amazing and cool to see them recognized in this way.
At least in Wisconsin, the Democratic Party is stronger, more organized, and more engaged in local life than Republicans in most communities. Local civic organizations today are much closer to the Democrats The problem for Dems is that a lot of voters hate local politics too!
What can distinguish Democrats is that we could lay out a vision for a civic reforestation project—a vision for how civic life could be repopulated. @PeteDDavis sketches a way for the Democratic Party to help rejuvenate civic life across the US. bit.ly/40J2n0k
Sadie Dempsey @sadiemdempsey and Benny Witkovsky @bwitkovsky published an article in @ConversationUS about their new Politics & Society @pasupdates article. theconversation.com/swing-state-go…
Trying to put out good Wisconsin vibes, so I just spent $100 on cheese and beer.
Revision submitted before election results on Tuesday could disprove the findings of my paper!
Besides being excellent, worth noting that Petri’s dad was a Republican Congressman from Wisconsin’s Fox Valley for nearly 40 years. He retired when challenged from the far Right. Tom Petri has also denounced Trump.
This is excellent, and should lead their paper tomorrow. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/…
So will my early voting shift on campus that day be empty or swamped?
BREAKING: Vice President Kamala Harris will hold a rally on the UW-Madison campus Oct. 30. The rally will feature music artists Gracie Abrams, Mumford & Sons and Remi Wolf. The rally serves as an effort to turn out student voters in Madison. @BadgerHerald
This is in my dissertation!! No Mow May is a consistently polarized issue on nonpartisan city councils!
A sociological study from driving around. Overly manicured lawns = Trump/Vance signs Pollinator-friendly yards = Harris/Walz signs This has been today's sociology lesson 💗
🚨EARLY VOTING STARTS TODAY IN WISCONSIN! THIS IS NOT A DRILL!🚨
Fascinating look at how January 6 mobilization was not only done by national forces but local county parties also mobilized via Facebook by @sadiemdempsey @TheJianingLi @bwitkovsky @YimingWang_ @prowag @lewfriedland @dvshah doi.org/10.1177/003232…
This is why we need parties in local government. Soglin and Rhodes-Conway are leading rival factions for power that cut across a bunch of different issues in Madison. It would be helpful for voters to see that!
Happening now: former Madison Mayor Paul Soglin is hosting a press conference to urge a “no” vote on the $22 million Madison operating budget referendum. Conference to begin shortly.
Swing-state GOP leaders amplified election denial in 2020 − and may do so again theconversation.com/swing-state-go…
Writing for @ConversationUS, @uw_sjmc professor @prowag teams up w/grad students in @UWSoc and @uw_sjmc to examine the ways claims of election fraud were amplified in 2020--and how they might be amplified again this year. theconversation.com/swing-state-go…
Excited to share a new piece on how worrying claims of 2024 election fraud mirror patterns from four years ago, out today at @ConversationUS with @sadiemdempsey @TheJianingLi and @prowag: theconversation.com/swing-state-go…
What does this mean as we head into 2024? It means we shouldn't only look to Washington D.C. or Mar a Lago for troubling signs for future false election fraud allegations or seeds of potential political violence – but in our own backyards. (9/9)
✨It’s publication day ✨ Our @CCCR article about the role of local events & actors in building support for the #StoptheSteal movement is now available at @pasupdates! W/ @TheJianingLi @bwitkovsky @YimingWang_ @prowag @lewfriedland @dvshah (1/9) journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/00…
