✍️ In grad school, @courtneyboen.bsky.social and I talked often about the emotions that seemed to undergird racism. Trayvon, Tamir, Mike Brown and too many more changed us. Ten years later, our findings in @sfjournal.bsky.social: academic.oup.com/sf/advance-a...

Heather Honey, a high-profile denier of Donald Trump’s loss in the 2020 election, has been appointed to a senior position in the Department of Homeland Security in which she’ll help oversee election security.

My article, "Stops: How Race, Space, and Policing Shapes Who is Human and Who is Not” is published! I theorize "stops" as moments when the category of human is contested and reified through racialized policing. Precursor to my "Punitive Inertia" article: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

doi.org/10.1093/socp... - the article is open access now! I want to thank Eric Piza and Amy Lewontin for helping to make this happen!

I'm grateful for the feature!

My work was featured in Northeastern Global New - "Policing is about more than law enforcement, researcher says, it’s about who gets to be human" news.northeastern.edu/2025/05/02/p... I'm thankful for the feature! @nusccj.bsky.social

The brilliant @ranitaray1.bsky.social has a new book out. Her first informed my own work so much, and I can’t wait to read this one! Preorder: us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

This is beautiful!

I just read a statement from a teaching observation of my class that made me get teary-eyed 🙏🏿

Thank you for the invite bro, it was an honor!!

Truly appreciating meeting & conversing w/ dope scholars this academic yr before sabbatical. Thank you again @k-till.bsky.social @dmmurphy.bsky.social for our convos, laughter, & pushing students @ Pitzer to think through complex matters & showcasing young scholars changing things in sociology.

@ranitaray1.bsky.social dropped some heat! Make sure you get your copy! The MacArthur genius, Reuben Jonathan Miller, author of Halfway Home called it "A beautiful and aching book...will change how you think about education." I'm excited to get my copy. It's going to the top of my list!

Go see Sinners!

I had my students draw an abolitionist world on the board in Feb. One student added me into the world. Today, that same student added that drawing to the end of their final presentation. I'm weak! I love my students! Look at my profile pic and it will make sense lol

What's wild to me is that academia can still demand the pressures of tenure while folks are getting kidnapped and offered up on a platter by institutions of higher ed

what a time to be teaching Thomas Hobbes, am I right theorists?!

I had a great time delivering a talk for the Racial Justice Initative at Pitzer College. HUGE s/o and thank you to Dr. Alicia Bonaparte for the invite, coordination, and being a guiding light in academia. S/o to the soon-to-be Dr. Demetrius Murphy for pulling up. Amazing discussion! #SocAF

In academia, asking for someone's email after a talk feels like asking for an autograph lol

I feel privileged to have great relationships with men of color where we can affirm each other, say I love you, and grow through vulnerability every time we connect. Definitely a blessing.

Super super important work! Congratulations brother! I enjoyed the ABS presentation so I'm glad to see the full product.

I have an article called, "Punitive Inertia" that's going to drop soon that redefines policing so we can put anti-Blackness, spatial trajectories, and racialized emotions all in the same analytical frame. I hope it helps us rethink our understanding of policing w/in & beyond the CJ system. More soon

Boston public transportation is really basura. They had us standing outside in the middle of winter saying that the train was 5-15 mins delayed. We all waited and then an announcement said there will be no trains until an undisclosed time. 🙃

Nosferatu was excellent! #MovieSky

My benevolent ancestors, Olodumare, and the Orisas be really looking out for me. I may not understand initially but the reason is always made clear to eventually.

Merry Christmas
