I'm excited to announce some professional news that the Russell Sage Foundation has awarded pipeline grant that will support an interview study of formerly incarcerated fathers that my colleague Steve Farough and I will be conducting this summer!

[Russell Sage Foundation @RussellSageFdn]

How do formerly incarcerated fathers experience child support and criminal justice debt? How do they see themselves as fathers?

Francis Prior (@Francis_Prior) & Steven Farough (@AssumptionUMA) will lead an interview study of 60 fathers in Massachusetts.

You should go see this exhibit at the Art Institute of Chicago right now. It had me tearing up.

‘Sukarno’s ambition was to put the colonised nations on an equal footing with their former colonisers, but he found himself trying to survive in a world dominated by the conflict between Washington and Moscow.’

Today I was granted access to speak with incarcerated firefighters.

They told me:
- they hadn’t showered in 5 days
- they were not provided regularly meals
- they were working 24 hours in a row
- they feel under appreciated and underpaid

I am hearing that on his deathbed, Jean-Marie Le Pen received the light of Islam and unhesitatingly recited the Shahada. Even now he looks down on the Ummah from the gardens of Jannah. Truly there is no god but Allah, and Mohammad is his prophet!

Ta-Nehisi Coates on DNC: “Despite the appeals of Palestinian American delegates and activists, no Palestinian American is scheduled to address the convention from the main stage. I suspect this is because of what such a speaker might feel compelled to say” https://t.co/8HeYTC4aVv

Shout out Black/Latinx b-boys & b-girls in NYC who are likely in their mid-late 60s today who were harassed by cops, admonished by media, and dismissed by ‘artists’ for creating what is now a global art form #OlympicGames #breakdancing #hiphop #NYC

As the GOP nominates a white convicted felon for president, the Republican-dominated Fifth Circuit has just upheld a lifetime voting ban for convicted felons in Mississippi, the blackest state in the union.

[Chris “Law Dork” Geidner @chrisgeidner]

BREAKING: The full Fifth Circuit, on a 13-6 vote, upholds Mississippi’s lifetime ban on voting by those convicted of any of a number of felonies. A prior three-judge panel had held that the ban violates the 8th Amendment. The full court rejected that. https://t.co/dP7LsF1gxW

Just had explosive interaction w/ @Columbia’s heightened security coming onto campus. They followed me to my office & then lied, saying I didn’t scan my ID for entry (I did) & I pushed an officer (I didn’t). An ugly scene followed. They did this to me, a tenured, full professor.
