Hakeem Jefferson does great measurement work. I assigned 2 of his papers for my survey research seminar. One presents a new scale of respectability politics (relevant to his post below). I strongly recommend his work for showing students how to reason through the development and testing of measures
I think a lot abt how marginalized people are expected to be perfect just to be treated w/ basic dignity, just to access legal protection. But democracy can’t mean rights for the respectable few. It has to mean fair and just treatment even for those seen as least deserving. That’s the real test.

Forced sterilization of disabled people isn't a relic of the past
In most states, eugenics laws still let doctors sterilize disabled patients—even against their will.

While universities like Harvard and Yale might get hit by the NIH's change to spending, universities in red states could get crushed. Republicans are taking it up with Trump and RFK Jr., but don't expect them to talk about Elon Musk.

One autistic celebrity gives the Nazi salute and another sells a t-shirt with a swastika on it. The fact that they're trying to hide behind autism is repugnant. Nobody has a Nazi salute as a gross-motor tic. Nobody markets clothes with swastikas by accident. They know what they're doing.
Ye Advertised Website Selling T-Shirts With Swastikas in Super Bowl Commercial
The commercial aired in some local markets several days after the rapper and designer called himself a Nazi in a series of social media posts.

Today's measure is the Fathers' Fear of Childbirth Scale (Ghaffari et al., 2021). I thought it might capture fear of fainting at the sight of it or fear that the mother might die, but no, the first item is "I worry about the quality of sex with my spouse after childbirth"
