Mo Salah is asking the right questions

Happy to have contributed to the launch of a new alt-weekly that'll be covering the Bay Area.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Sign of the times: watching the Mexico-Turkey friendly being played in North Carolina. The Spanish-language announcers note that there not might be as many fans as expected in the stands "given the situation in this country right now."

My favorite college football podcast is doing its annual charity drive for New American Pathways, a non-profit that provides refugee resettlement services. I donated one dollar for each victory (48) that UC Davis has over Sac State. @edsbs.bsky.social @hollyanderson.bsky.social

There are trans Americans right now looking out at this world and wondering if anyone is going to stand up for them and for their simple right to exist. Well, I am. We are. We will.

My mentor, colleague, and friend Brian DeLay on what folks like Bret Stephens don't know about UC Berkeley, its faculty, and its students.

Honored and thrilled that my book, Abandoning Their Beloved Land, was named one of Choice's Outstanding Academic Titles for 2024.

Thrilled to be in UConn to deliver the keynote at their History Graduate Student Research Conference, as well as talk about my book at @uconnelinstituto.bsky.social.

Since I have quite a few new followers -- including many I recognize from Twitter/X, great to see y'all again -- I figured it would be good to do a reintroduction thread. So: hi! I'm a historian of Latin America who specializes in twentieth-century Mexico.

I wrote a history of the Bracero Program, the 1942-1964 bilateral initiative that allowed Mexican men to work in the US as seasonal contract farmworkers. www.ucpress.edu/books/abando...

Going to start trying to be a bit more active here, so: Hello! I'm an associate professor of history at San José State University who specializes in modern Mexico and Latin America.
