Happy to have this book about Chicana/o Movement in my hands! Years ago I wrote two entries: the La Raza Unida Party and Willie Velasquez's Southwest Voter Registration & Education Project. Get your copy and encourage your university libraries to purchase a copy.

Jesse Jackson transformed the study of Black politics.
Beyond his legacy as a civil rights leader, Jackson inspired empirical research on Black opinion and political behavior.

Sending warm Texas thoughts to you my friend!

The real-world implications of this research suggest the need for building Latinxs’ awareness of systemic forms of racism faced by their ingroup, as well as by other minorities as the success of the Black-led BLM movement likely requires a large, multiracial coalition. 7/7
Although Latinxs cannot be said to support the BLM movement at levels on par with Black Americans, Latinxs (along with Asian Americans) rate the BLM
movement more warmly than Whites and about half of all Latinxs report supporting the movement’s goals. 6/7
...and within Latinx communities are most consistently inclined to support multiracial coalitions. I also find some contrasting effects btw the role of inter- and intragroup commonality which underscores the opportunities & challenges for Latinx–Black coalitions. 5/7
I find that although some of Latinxs’ personal experiences with discrimination (especially at the hands of police) are associated with increased support for the BLM movement, Latinxs with a consciousness of Blacks’ struggle with racial discrimination in the U.S... 4/7
My article explores how multiple dimensions of Latinx racial group consciousness (perceptions of discrimination, intra- and intergroup commonality, and racial identity) shape their cross- racial alliances with Black social movements. 3/7
I’m honored to have this article included in a special issue commemorating the 30th Anniversary of the Paula McClain’s “Can We All Get Along? Racial and Ethnic Minorities in American Politics?,” coauthored first with Stewart, Jr., and later with Johnson-Carew. 2/7
I’m pleased to announce the publication of my article in PS: Political Science & Politics @pspolisci.bsky.social @cambup-polsci.cambridge.org, “From Commonality to Unity: The Opportunities and Challenges of Latinxs’ Cross-racial Alliances with Blacks” 1/7

I'll be posting a thread about this soon, but in the meantime...
Greatest day of the year:

Thank you to the brave souls (average citizens) who continue to peacefully document everything to hold a rogue agency accountable in Minneapolis. They’re literally risking their lives to ensure basic transparency of our government.
Scary prospect…
Please help us bring Liam Adrian Cornejo Ramos (he’s only 5 years of age and is currently in pre-K. Yesterday, he and his father were kidnapped by ICE. This will help the family with legal services to help reunite Liam and his dad with their family.

The case of 5 y.o. Liam Conejo Ramos’s detention and apprehension of his parents should give us all pause.
Please donate to his Go Fund Me. I’ll share soon.
Of course I found the Mexican Krewe Mayahuel at the Krewe Mosaique parade! 🇲🇽

Immigration scholars have long been warning about the dangers of ICE and CBP’s lethal use of force against immigrants. Escalations are now affecting U.S. citizens. Renee Nicole Good’s death is an awful tragedy that was obviously unnecessary. I hope for us all that her family finds justice.
It may be unseasonably hot in South Texas for the holidays but my lap swim pool water temp is 69•F🥶
My volunteering as a Child Advocate means that I meet with children in immigrant detention and this reporting mirrors what I’m seeing on the ground.
Spoke to Axios about the current state of Texas Latino voters going into a midterm election year.
Takeaway: Economy is not what Latino voters were expecting and Texas Democrats locally and statewide feel like they have a shot next year.

Earlier this year, we documented nearly 50 incidents of immigration officers shattering car windows to make arrests — a tactic experts say was rarely used before Trump took office.
ICE claims its officers use a “minimum amount of force.”
You can judge for yourself.
Absolute debasement of academic standards

I wonder if JD Vance plays the NYT Spelling Game. The Sunday 11.30.25 pangram might be fun for him to solve. 🤔
