Newer data on the Latino male vote. Turns out the majority voted Harris. But Dems and liberals jumped the gun and carved out a racist narrative and vilified Latino males. What happens when Trump weaponizes this data against the Dems? And when more Latino males flock to Trump, who is really to blame?

Hi, new followers. Since we're riding out the end times here, I figured I'd introduce myself. I'm a sociologist of race and ethnicity doing work on Latine racialization, Afro-Latine experiences at the intersections of Blackness and Latinidad, and anti-Black racism in the U.S and Latin America.

My phone just auto corrected "trauma dumping" to "trauma dumpling," so I painted this in case anyone would like a visual of my mental state. How's everyone else doing?

So to soft launch some news here, I got a job. I’ll be starting as a tenure-track Assistant Professor of Sociology at Boston University next fall. I’m very excited to be in Massachusetts and to start the next stage of my career at BU.

Today I get to celebrate another trip around the sun and the end of my semester. I don’t know which I’m more excited about, to be honest. 🎉

The rich absolutely do not see everyone else as human. Society is going to end with us killing them and taking their wealth or us being slowly ground down into starvation and mass death while they happily continue to enrich themselves

A last minute phone call on Friday informed teachers that the Arkansas Department of Education will not recognize AP African American Studies for course credit by the state. School starts in 2 days. AP European History continues to be offered for full credit.
