Oh my god.
Just found out that the Providence Mayor wants to implement as part of his legislative package a bill that would criminalize residents based off surveillance cameras across the city.
My god, he really hates poor people and minorities in Providence.

🔥hot take🔥: There is too much emphasis on teaching impact evaluation and "what works" in MPP programs.
There should be at least as much emphasis on teaching students how to think about, and improve, the **political feasibility** of a policy recommendation.

Alright here's the new UNITE HERE! Local 11 statement. No need for the other discussions on this.
Thanks to the workers and organizers at Local 11 for working with political scientists under what were ambiguous and constantly changing circumstances.

One mentioned was the jobs fair, because it takes such a huge space. APSA MUST move the job fair out of the Marriott, it cannot ask job candidates to cross a picket line if they want to pursue employment in the profession...
