Honored to be an NYU Urban Doctoral Fellow and grateful to Silver for highlighting my dissertation research, supported by the fellowship!
Mandatory arrest laws for #IPV often criminalize survivors instead of abusers. In their dissertation research, PhD candidate @jackiecosse.bsky.social explores that phenomenon w/ attention to race, gender & sexuality. Learn about their preliminary findings: socialwork.nyu.edu/news/2025/co...

how many times do we have to remind people that South American trans activists came up with Latinx not Americans in academia!!!!!
The claim that gender-inclusive Spanish began in the 2010s w/ leftist Dems is headache-inducing. The implication is that these changes would be more authentic if they came from Latin America or Spain.

But feminists in those regions have been calling for gender-inclusive Spanish since the 1970s!

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done.

My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it.

I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

Like so many elections around the country, today is about organized money vs. organized people.

I believe people will win.

On Friday night, we walked the length of Manhattan, from Inwood Hill to Battery Park.

New Yorkers deserve a Mayor they can see, hear, even yell at. The city is in the streets.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd.
It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

Too many people around me & most [social work] institutions don't seem to get the difference between strategy & subversion vs. silence & complicity. Organizers & communities have been subverting oppressive systems since the dawn of time. But that doesn't mean they're staying silent—far from it (1/4)
