I really like how Zohran Mamdani has run a campaign that is so focused on making New York City a safe (including from the fascism of our current federal government) and affordable place for all its residents, and I am really appalled by how racist so much of the opposition to his candidacy has been.

My 🚨new pub🚨 in SS&M with Brian Tuohy argues that pretrial surveillance is a structural determinant of health, as it leads to stress, restricted medical access, and increased use of ER. Check it out here: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

love to see an article that captures that “the sheriff’s office is lying to me” feeling

I'm very proud of an article I recently had published in Social Problems (one of my faves!!) that explores how people charged with felonies are conditioned into the treatment they should expect upon adjudication. academic.oup.com/socpro/advan...

Everyone concerned about data loss right now should learn about the End of Term Web Archive, which I believe has been working on preserving federal websites for the past 8 months. The dataset you fear has been lost may well be here Just an incredible project. Thank you to everyone involved

With talk of ICE doing"collateral arrests," I've been thinking of how this is also true for broader criminal justice. When a person is in jail/prison, on electronic monitoring/parole, family/friends/neighbors can also end up in more contact with police, increasing chances of surveillance & arrest.

Good morning go birds say it back

I've been thinking a lot about uncertainty. Some studies show people experience more stress when there is an uncertain POSSIBILITY of pain, than when there is CERTAIN predictable pain. This week there were false alarms about ICE agents & anxiety was high. Maybe this is obvious, but.. (1/)
