I am very grateful to @timothyjshaffer.bsky.social and SNF for creating the #SNFIthacaUD National Student Dialogue. It has had real positive impact at HCC, the first #CommunityCollege to participate. Students are eager to create a legacy of civic discourse here bc of what they experienced at UD.

I’m excited about a fresh start on a platform where it seems to be more of what Twitter used to be with smart takes and insights. Looking forward to connecting about #democracy and related topics.
