My new article in Sociology Compass is out — it reflects on how we’ve come to understand Black-Latinx relations in the U.S., the complexities that challenge coalition, and questions we still need to ask moving forward. Grateful if you checked it out here 👉🏽 doi.org/10.1111/soc4...

📣 “Unraveling Complexities of Latino Racialization” w/ @stephdhuman.bsky.social & @nicholasvargas.bsky.social in @annualreviews.bsky.social is officially out! get ur FREE copy 👇🏾 📖

Sharing an Op-Ed that Cristina Mora and I wrote in the @latimes.com. We collected 2 waves of poll data among CA voters over the past year, pre and post election. No matter how, when, or who we asked, we found overwhelming support for a path to citizenship. Pls share: www.latimes.com/opinion/stor...

NEW @pewresearch.org data: How deportation concerns vary by race/ethnicity 42% of Latino adults worry that, regardless of legal status, they or someone close to them could be deported. 19% of Black, 19% of Asian and 12% of White adults share that concern.

Take an early look at our new article at Annual Review of Sociology: “Unraveling Complexities of Latino Racialization.” Drawing from soc literature, we outline complexities that obscure conceptualizations of Latinxs. doi.org/10.1146/annu... @ajvalle213.bsky.social @stephdhuman.bsky.social

As we fight tyranny, we build solidarity. From solidarity, we draw courage. Surrounded by courageous people and institutions, we more easily find courage within ourselves to keep fighting. Remember: tyranny is only possible if people submit to it.

"Overall, 58% of U.S. families had some sort of exposure to the stock market in 2022, the highest level ever recorded...The median value of those holdings was $52,000; the mean value was $489,500."

Working with an interdisciplinary team, we have developed a website to communicate how the White House's proposed cuts to health research would cause losses of $16B and 68,500 jobs. Find out how your community may be impacted. Explore more at SCIMaP: scienceimpacts.org a 🧵

The first and most important thing to know about last night's Exec order is that it's intended to break current law and allow people throughout the federal gov look at yr tax returns. Beyond that it's intended to compel states to turn over all their data to the fed govt.

Bernie Sanders: +10 Hakeem Jeffries: -3 Donald Trump: -7 Mike Johnson: -9 JD Vance: -11 Chuck Schumer: -15 Elon Musk -17 WFP/JRF, 2/24-3/2 drive.google.com/file/d/1psge...

We gave a short survey to White Christians & asked them to pick between our govt prioritizing economic prosperity with more immigrants or reducing immigration even if it hurts prosperity. Majorities of White Christian nationalists would tank our economy if it meant preserving the ethnic status quo.

"A Columbia senior administrator said the school considered legal options ...but ... the ... government has so many available levers to claw back money, it would be a difficult fight. Additionally the school believed there was considerable overlap between needed campus changes and Trump’s demands."

1/🧵 Following up on our study featured in NYT today, this figure provides a macro-level view: Dem vote shares rise with turnout parity (left) but fall with party-level ideological moderation (right). This suggests mobilizing base voters > persuading swing voters by moving to the center.

I just heard this as well. The entire staff of the National Center for Education Statistics, created in 1867, has been fired.

A researcher just lost their grant funding because their work might help understand why people are hesitant about vaccines.

Of course, we’d love to see these numbers decrease as much as possible. But comparing raw numbers over time dramatically distorts the risk/safety. There are 100 million more people living in the U.S. today compared to 1968.

Just received word that the Census National Advisory Committee has been terminated.

I don’t want to add to the doomscrolling. Still, I am pissed that in addition to having to endure this era, younger generations may be forced to spend decades (if not centuries) debating its true impacts with bad faith actors in their efforts to produce a fuller humanity.

Good news about the fight against illegal DEI bans from the AAUP! The “US District Court for the District of Maryland granted a preliminary nationwide injunction on key parts of a pair of executive orders issued by President Trump..” www.aaup.org/news/win-aau...

1/ I am seeing a lot of comments on the slashing of NIH support along the lines of “universities should just spend their huge endowments.” I’m the last person to cheer on the institutional stratification rising endowments have contributed to. But let me explain why this is not a solution.

Critical Sociology compiled Michael Burawoy's articles and allowed free access. I hope other journals will do the same. journals.sagepub.com/page/crs/vir...

Why would a proud and confident government purge their own data?

This is the last photo of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, walking toward Israeli tanks before being detained by Israeli forces after they destroyed the last hospital in northern Gaza. His current condition is unknown.

📊Ever use or teach interactions in regression? I’ve been using/teaching this tricky concept for years & finally decided to write a guide. Link below; no paywall👍 Meant for users of any software but @statacorp.bsky.social code is provided 😁 CC: @asjadnaqvi.bsky.social medium.com/the-stata-ga...

Elated to share that the dream team @stephcanizales.bsky.social, @drmirianma.bsky.social, Silvia Rodriguez Vega and I are getting ~$1.6 million from UCOP MRPI for our project Reimagining Refuge: California for Just Migrant Futures. Stay tuned for seed grants to CA scholars, artists, and activists!

Yep. This is the example I always use “A Gallup poll from 1966 found that 66 percent of Americans had an unfavorable view of Martin Luther King, Jr.”

The comparison between Dec. 2016 and Nov 2024 is....something.

With these policies, right-wing authoritarians and Stalin have something in common: Under Stalinist Russia, sociology was driven underground. Since I'm a professional sociologist, that's not speculation. That's fact. Here's a citation: (Burawoy 2005:21). www.nytimes.com/2024/11/21/u...

Listening to an incredible book talk by @monijimenez.bsky.social Can’t wait to read it, cite it, and assign it. ‘Making Never Never-Land: Race and Law in the Creation of Puerto Rico’ uncpress.org/book/9781469...

Disturbing prediction from @pkrugman.bsky.social: If Trump's deportations really happen, inflation will spike, then MAGA loyalists will corrupt government info to mask it. For autocrats, he says, "among their first targets are statistical agencies." Our exchange: newrepublic.com/article/1883...

New platform—so, a reminder that only 3 percent of four-year colleges offer a Latino Studies (LS) major. And research shows that LS has vast academic benefits for under-represented students beyond the major. We should continue to build, especially when challenged. link.springer.com/article/10.1....
