On election day, I wanna announce that I am recruiting social psych PhD students for my lab at UIC. My lab focuses on racial identities (esp Asian, Latino, MENA Americans) and intra-minority conflict/ coalition. So please tell your students to pick me! All details on my website: www.pbandjlab.com

Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

The Associated Press has called the results on Proposition 50, saying California's redistricting plan will pass.

Zohran Mamdani will be New York’s youngest mayor in over a century and the city’s first Muslim and first South Asian mayor. He has twice defeated Andrew Cuomo, who resigned as governor in the face of sexual harassment allegations. https://bit.ly/47pa8LH

This is where I am too. Get involved at your hyper local level. It matters and makes a difference.

This was such a fun experience with @rodriguesjm.bsky.social Thanks for highlighting our work @jeffgreene.bsky.social !

The official site to donate to Jamaica's hurricane relief efforts. I plan to donate to my diaspora brethen soon. #blacksky #donate

As @drshepherd2013.bsky.social writes, what’s horrifying about those numbers is that “the hurricane intensity scale increases logarithmically. That means a doubling of wind is not a doubling of damage. It actually results in a 256-fold increase in possible damage.” My heart is with Jamaica today

Before today, the strongest storm to make landfall in Jamaica was category 4 Hurricane Gilbert in 1988 with sustained winds of ~130mph. Category 5 #HurricaneMelissa is sustaining winds at 175mph. The wind is far from the only danger, but that difference is staggering. (1/2)

Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Haiti and Jamaica are bracing for Hurricane Melissa. The storm is expected to quickly grow into a powerful category 3 or stronger hurricane. n.pr/4orMwfH

Please read this essay aloud. “[Teaching] is about being present. About staying long enough to know what to ask. About saying: ‘I think I know what you mean,’ even if we’re wrong. Especially if we’re wrong.” Thanks @heymrsbond.com for sharing this. It impacted me. therumpus.net/2025/10/02/h...

You had questions about President Trump's deployment of federal troops to U.S. cities, and we have answers.

A ballot measure in California will ask voters if they OK a new congressional map. In a sign of how rare the proposal is, it specifically cites Texas Republicans' new districts in the measure's title.
