My students who chose to not go the tenure track route have also been highly successful. One works in instructional technology at Grand Valley State, another is a data analyst for the 4th Judicial District of Minnesota, and two are successful attorneys.
I am so proud of all these amazing people!

Even cooler for me is that 9 (18 percent) of these @umnpolisci.bsky.social tenure track professors are my advisees and, since 2012, 5 (45 percent) come from my shop. They are at Kentucky, UNC, Oklahoma State, Randolph, Stephen F. Austin, Loyola Chicago, Bowdoin, Pacific University, and TCU.
Jepsen and Hatemi (2025) examined where political scientists with Tenure Track Jobs earned their PhD. I am so proud that @umnpolisci.bsky.social is ranked 18th in the discipline with 51 of our graduates currently holding such positions. Eleven of these placements began their jobs since 2012.

As close as we can get until cameras go in.
As I said. This is a nudge to the justices. If they put cameras in we stop. Simple as that.
We will see if that is the case experimentally.
Why?
Well sorry you feel that way!
Why?
The information is spot on accurate.
I am sorry you feel this way. But the Court could stop this with cameras for OA. This is the furthest thing from slop.
oddly we didn’t misrepresent anything!
We did. Because SCOTUS refuses cameras.
Our point!
Sadly these are not deepfakes. The audio is the real transcript. And, because you can’t be in the courtroom we wanted to bring the courtroom to the public. I am sorry you are offended.

Here is the ACLU opening statement response:
If you did not attend the live arguments in Trump v. Barbara, you could only hear the arguments. Jerry Goldman and I (and @spoolerfm.bsky.social & Idib) created clips of the audio with AI video. Here is the first clip: @umnpolisci.bsky.social @dahlialithwick.bsky.social @ninatotenberg.bsky.social
Delighted to see @aclu.org @brucespringsteen.net teaming up for these ads (I saw it on SURVIVOR last night) promoting and defending the all-American value of birthright citizenship.
Badass! love it.
One of the worst scotus decisions ever.
So glad to be a part of this team!
