Those nations that have accepted the invitation to the Board of Peace are a *lot* less democratic than those that have rejected it.

Oklahoma, I'm coming to see you! Come see me 🙂 Each event is unique so come to as many as you like. Please note, you MUST get a ticket to the Sally's List event. See the Facebook event page for details. @shortle.bsky.social @aselrod.bsky.social

Racial quotas for immigration are back | Heba Gowayed The Trump administration’s immigration policies hearken back to the racist 1924 Immigration Act, meant to whiten the US

My latest in the @theguardian.com on how the Trump admins latest immigrant visa ban takes us back to the racial quotas abolished in the wake of the Civil Rights Movement. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Mental health and beliefs about abortion access following changes to reproductive healthcare laws in 2022: findings from Oklahoma A secondary analysis of cross-sectional survey data was conducted to characterize beliefs about abortion access in Oklahoma, measure stress associated with the overturn of Roe vs. Wade (2022), and evaluate the potential relationship between post-Roe ...

Happy to share my new co-authored pub in @bmc.springernature.com BMC Public Health (w/ an amazing team of medical researchers) "Mental Health and beliefs about abortion access following changes to reproductive healthcare laws in 2022: findings from Oklahoma": pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

An interesting project that seeks a new set of liberal answers to the social disintegration that MAGA keeps using as their excuse to purge immigrants:

Understandable. Find your community, get organized, and try (as much as humanly possible) to avoid feeding into hyper-partisanship. Git it!

I recommend supporting Sally's List, a progressive nonprofit dedicated to training progressive women candidates for office in the state. It's also a great idea to get involved with the Democratic party in your town. If you prefer Independent style, get involved with Let's Fix This.

I’m so proud of what we’ve done so far on an almost non-existent budget, and I know we have a unique vision that is more relevant than ever.

Awesome! I'm excited to see what you find. And to hear more about survey design innovation, always.

The Debate - ‘Trump’s Achilles heel’: US president under fire over handling of Epstein files Ever since he first ran for president in 2015, Donald Trump has claimed that to “drain the swamp”, America needs a leader who knows where “the bodies are buried” in the corrupt circles of Wall Street…

Discussing religion and democracy with @hollybfletcher.bsky.social at a @pulaskiinstitution.bsky.social event was truly a joy. Did I take two pieces of art off her hands? You betcha. Will I drag her to OU to discuss her new book? Obviously. Stay tuned!

How Christian Nationalist Rhetoric Can Influence Elections Across Race Allyson Shortle, Ph.D., is an associate professor and director of graduate studies in political science at the University of Oklahoma and a 2024-2025 PRRI Public Fellow. Michael R. Fisher Jr., Ph.D.

Christian nationalism! Experiments! Local! For my spotlight with @mrfisherjr.bsky.social, we test the effect of CN rhetoric and race on mobilization and decision-making in local elections, w. a @prri.org-funded experiment: prri.org/spotlight/ho... Spoiler: CN talk hurts candidates for local office.

I respect this.

Important Q for political scientists: Who out there ever played the clarinet? @asdurso.bsky.social and I are interested! Thanks in advance! 😀

I'm telling you!!! 🤣

Excited to kick off a 4-yr #Ascendium project with @arrc.bsky.social's research team @tycmcnamee.bsky.social, @alisahicklinfryar.bsky.social, Laken DeBoard, @vsansone.bsky.social, @drandrewk.bsky.social, examining rural higher ed & workforce dev in 5 states!

My work is all mass-level, so I don't classify individuals as CN unless they self label, or answer @prri.org's 5-question CN battery for me. But, many individuals use Christian nationalist rhetoric, in all sorts of ways. We never know if "CN talk" reflects values or simple means to political ends.

TOMORROW at 1 pm ET - Join the Red River Revelry! Listen, watch, and enjoy the OU/Texas @prri.org webinar discussion of Christian nationalism and American patriotism - featuring @profsamperry.bsky.social, @melissadeckman.bsky.social, Eric McDaniel, and me! 🇺🇸

So excited!!

Establishment Clause for the win.

I am so excited to kick off the summer by reading Maraam Dwidar 's Power to the Partners. I know I'm not supposed to judge a book by its cover, but it's gorgeous!

Supreme Court Considers Landmark Case on First Publicly Funded Catholic Charter School YouTube video by Oklahoma News Report

I was happy to visit OETA to discuss what's at stake in the Supreme Court's St. Isadore v Drummond case. Thank you to @prri.org, whose data I mention to highlight the tension this outcome could have with popular opinion on religion's role in government and education. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebuZ...

Just out at @poqjournal.bsky.social. Why is it critical to consider race when discussing Christian nationalism? Because it often works differently for White & minoritized adults, often corresponding to racial in-group interests & identities. It's not *always* reactionary IOW. doi.org/10.1093/poq/...

Thanks @iansociologo.bsky.social! Will reach out to you with an invite to the next one - stay tuned!
