This is so important and gives me hope. We must continue to challenge inequity in society and work to diminish the disadvantages people face due to their identities. The bias in our criminal justice system has to be addressed! #Psych401 https://t.co/t1jHbcQfn7

The Senate is ready to advance a bill that will start to address mass incarceration and racial disparities in our broken system — but Mitch McConnell won't bring it to the floor for a vote.

Together, we can make him. https://t.co/svWEZxJIPo

Instead, I believe more policies are needed to better assist these students; both in preparing for college, financing college, and finding a suitable job post-college. That way we can begin to close the gap between success and degree completion across class & race. #Psych401

I read an important letter to the Senate committee leading education reform; the letter explained that it is important to note reduce federal aid in grants/work study as these forms of aid typically go to lower income students and POC who have less access. #Psych401

[Pasquale @PQumich]

In a time where college has become more of a necessity, it is interesting that it is priced as a luxury. Therefore, it would be completely unacceptable to make it more difficult for disadvantaged students to obtain a degree. #Psych401

Preliminary results from my research project are helping me better understand the impact of an LGBTQ+ identity on ones' educational experience, there is a lot to be said about how its affect on one's esteem has a key influence on stress/social acceptance levels. #Psych401

[Pasquale @PQumich]

@BreslowMolly Totally agree with this. I wonder what shifts in society are causing these more explicit forms of anti-semitism and what can be done to stop them from happening. #Psych401

[Pasquale @PQumich]

While this is a powerful and clear visual, it is upsetting that this kind of research is necessary to circulate and spread a viral message about sexual assault against women that validates their experience. Please believe women and all those who have been assaulted. #Psych401

[Pasquale @PQumich]

I think this is interesting for a number of reasons. It is useful as it shows, unbiasedly, the prevalence of sexual assault against women in our society. However, there are some interesting social factors at play when looking at this research. #Psych401

Researchers built a smart dress to show how often women are groped at clubs https://t.co/OT8IMVMvkN

[Pasquale @PQumich]

Yet, there was somehow still a need for this research method. It speaks to a large problem in our society; the lack of belief/faith in the testimonials of those who are being oppressed or assaulted. As if more proof than their word regarding their experience is needed. #Psych401

[Pasquale @PQumich]

Though a day late, I feel like #WorldAIDSDay is incredibly important to shed light and talk about the struggles people with HIV/AIDS faced in previous decades as well as the continued stigma attributed to people with AIDS in our society today. #Psych401

[Pasquale @PQumich]

It is interesting that racial profiling is still so overt and ignored. If you saw this happening at an airport on your way back to school, would you say something? I feel like this is a clear example of subtle discrimination that persists. #Psych401

The TSA singles her out every time she flies. Border officers detained her and her children overnight. But the government won't say why, or even let her try to set the record straight. We’re trying to change that. https://t.co/KQz69MtN1M

[Pasquale @PQumich]

This really highlights the importance of two movements, #BlackLivesMatter and Gun Reform. I think it is important to remember how people are disproportionately disadvantaged in our society due to intersectionality. #Psych401

Four years ago today, Cleveland police killed 12-year-old Tamir Rice, who was in a playground with a toy gun.

We remember Tamir’s life and honor his mother as she spends Thanksgiving without her youngest child.

Police reform cannot wait. #BlackLivesMatter #Tamirs4thAnniversary

[Pasquale @PQumich]

I feel for anyone who is struggling with a marginalized identity, feeling unwelcome or unloved by those who should be their supporters. I also feel for anyone struggling to obtain basic needs in our society, such as food and shelter, during this holiday season. #Psych401

[Pasquale @PQumich]

Thanksgiving is a wonderful holiday as it allows people to remember the blessings in their lives and enjoy time with their loved ones. Today, however, I also think of the people who have been abandoned by their family due to their identities. #Psych401

[Pasquale @PQumich]

Another heartbreaking story, and one that sheds light on the interplay between privilege and government non-action in our society. When will this end? #Psych401 https://t.co/3jLyNf1GZD

A 13-year-old Milwaukee girl who was killed when someone fired a bullet into her home Monday night wrote an award-winning essay two years ago about the "senseless gun violence" killing kids in her city. https://t.co/ZyBgb2Ir8C

Based on the rise in anti-semitism and of various forms of discrimination in the past few years, I think this administration has made people more comfortable to act on their existing, hate-based views. #Psych401

[Hayley @Hayley31773822]

It is scary to see students recreating Nazi symbolism, saluting Hitler. What has caused this hatred to be so on the rise in the past few years? Can we blame it on our White House administration or are there deeper societal issues we must focus on? #PSYCH401

[Pasquale @PQumich]

I think that not many people know about this. These prisoners are placing their lives at risk for the betterment of our communities, and yet they are still subject to power inequality and exploitation. #Psych401

This is unbelievable. Policies like this reduce women's access to contraceptive care and infringe upon their rights. #Psych401

Allowing employers and universities to use their religious beliefs to block employees’ birth control coverage isn’t religious liberty. It's discrimination. https://t.co/Ph7rBIguWw
