Although my book is a few years old, I will shamelessly promote it in case you've missed it🙂
Doing Violence, Making Race: Lynching and White Racial Group Formation in US South 1882-1930 (https://t.co/PWKWEN0poD).
For a pdf copy, just DM.

@RepDanGoldman "gun safety legislation"? Do you think Abdul Saleh was killed with a legally obtained gun?

"pushing for stronger protections for bodega workers"? What does that even mean? What would such protection look like?

@HiPhiNation @BrianLeiter An affirmative action program for veterans would get a lot of pushback from the left.

@DMBean @gbaird25 @katrosenfield You are allowed 0 takeaway iced coffees before becoming worse than a terrorist.

@katrosenfield If Tolentino is so worried about the environment, how come she has two kids? By doing so, she's leaving a huge carbon footprint.

@4givenmuch @thestustustudio He was never on the faculty proper at Columbia but visiting assistant professor in the Middle East Institute. He does not work at NYU. I think he is at American University in Cairo.

My new review for Ethnic and Racial Studies @ERSjournal of one of the absolutely worst books I have ever read: Jim Crow in the Asylum. Psychiatry and Civil Rights in the American South

Some of us do, indeed, stand on the shoulders of giants. Without Stewart Tolnay's (1951-2025) research, not to sepak of his generosity and support, much of my research could never have been done. I am very grateful, Stew, and I wish you godspeed.

@EYakoby Or maybe, just maybe, the hand grenades belonged to criminals, not terrorists. Criminals in Sweden are blowing up grenades against rivals on a regular basis, not to harm, but intimidate. Very few fatalities but much material damage.

@Sorenjuvas @omni_red Läser man artikeln, inte bara rubriken, ser man att kommunen anlitat konsulter för en granskning eftersom den överklagat Kemikalieinspektionens dispens till ett företag om användingen (inte utsläpp) en viss kemikalie. Idén är alltså den motsatta vad du tror.

@AaronGullickson I am disgusted to (nominally) share a discipline with people like that.

@Sorenjuvas Lagen inbegriper allvarlig brottslighet i bostaden eller näromgivningen, inte "galenskaper."

[Mattias Smångs @msmangs75]

@Sorenjuvas Har sonen agerat kriminellt eller bara "galet"? Vem har gjort skillnad på barn? Hur har dom gjort skillnad på dom?

[Mattias Smångs @msmangs75]

@Sorenjuvas Oh, the irony!

For many Americans, facts are less important than deep moral “truths” find @minjaekim22, Oliver Hahl of @teppercmu, Ethan Poskanzer of @leedsbiz and @ewzucker https://t.co/7UhhkALA8O

We are now entering the phase where the antisemitic parts of the pro Palestinian protests move from being latent to blatant.
