This is HUGE news coming out of MI. CJ McCormick has been an icon of innovation for the MI Supreme Court and State Courts generally. Bolden is a great, and very interesting, choice to replace her and I look forward to seeing where the court goes next under her.

I don't enjoy updating syllabi for courses I've taught before. I really dislike creating syllabi for courses I've never taught.

The Mastodon political science community is scattered across multiple servers. That is fine!

However, one way to keep connected is by the use of *a group*

So, please, all political scientists, follow this group get all political science posts: @politicalscience

And tag the group to share with us all, if you want to spread messages across the entire political science community.

BUT it only works if people follow the group. So, please boost to spread the word! 🙏

Now if there was just some easy way to auto-follow all the folks I followed on Twitter who’ve migrated over here.

This seems to work a little like Twitter so maybe it’ll work? I’m sure sure I’m comfortable tooting out my thoughts, although I’m often accused of being full of hot air…
