We don't want an institution that's whole purpose and origins is to terrorize Black and Brown folks. @mayorbronin @senmccrory @RSGAT @WizBermudez @lebron4council @JohnQGaleLLC @TJ4City_Council @merossetti @SurgeonShirley #DefundHPD #DefundCTPD #CounselorsNotCops

There is NO linkage between more police and fewer crimes. We don't want this useless institution in our communities. @mayorbronin @senmccrory @RSGAT @WizBermudez @lebron4council @JohnQGaleLLC @TJ4City_Council @merossetti @SurgeonShirley #DefundHPD #DefundCTPD #CounselorsNotCops

"This is not happening in a bubble. We are in the midst of racial uproar," Davis said. "We're shaking the foundation of the U.S." "in recognizing that systemic racism and anti-blackness are real. We've always known that to be true, but finally the world is paying attention."

2nd solo-authored pub just out in Ethnic and Racial Studies! Review piece that offers a new theory on how to shift the convo on “race, religion, or ethnicity?” to one that more adequately represents the complexity of Jewishness https://t.co/BOqUgs01rG

As parents we take an eternal oath of keeping our children safe. That's what Oscar Martinez Ramirez was doing for Valeria. He wanted to cross the Rio Grande to protect his daughter from violence and poverty. We failed them. And here we keep breeding children of indifference.

My first solo-authored publication is available! Very proud to have persisted through the long road to publishing. This article explores how biological reasoning is used in contemporary news media constructions of Jewishness. Take a look!
