Just withdrew a manuscript from @plos.org one after over seven months with no review. Disappointed cause I like the model but this is unacceptable.

New! Sociologists' election reflections as the 2nd Trump Administration took power: @daniellaurison.bsky.social, Mary Romero, @andrewjperrin.bsky.social, A. Spencer-Blume, @cecimenjivar.bsky.social, & E. Bonilla-Silva on the campaigns waged & the battles yet to come tinyurl.com/SPE-election
The front page of Contexts magazine's Winter 2025 Special Section: Election Reflections--And What Comes Next, by Amin Ghaziani and Seth Abrutyn. The image is black, white, and red, with images of flags, check marks, and circles, and the text reads: Just before the 2024 U.S. Presidential election, we asked a group of sociologists--all esteemed researchers from different subfields of our discipline--to think, observe, and write about America's big decision. Here, we present a special, and very timely, section of the magazine: a curated collection of essays that track the pulse of our democracy.

In his opening speech, Speaker Mike Johnson just recited a long prayer attributed to Thomas Jefferson. As @jackjenkins.me and others have pointed out, Jefferson never said any of this: www.monticello.org/research-edu...

The authors assert: “General education presumes a body of knowledge that all students should absorb, a core of great works, historic persons and events, momentous inquiries, prized ideas and sacred truths.” [1/] www.chronicle.com/article/prof...
