A month ago, I wrapped up my time as a VIPS scholar at Princeton University at the Adversity and Relationships in Context (ARC) lab where we studied how first-gen, low-income students use acculturation strategies to navigate college and home. Huge thanks to Dr. Carey, Priscilla, and the ARC lab!

It’s a wrap! I presented at the @apadivision45.bsky.social conference in a symposium chaired by Dr. Gabriel Camacho on Identity Safety Cues in Healthcare for Latine Americans and Black Women!

Thank you APA Div 45 for for organizing this (met some amazing researchers and explored UMich’s campus πŸ’―)

A series of tweets from Politico senior legal affairs reporter Kyle Cheney:

BREAKING: A federal judge in Massachusetts (the Reagan-appointed William Young) has declared the Trump administration's cuts to NIH grants β€” ostensibly over Trump's EOs on gender ideology and DEI β€” are "illegal" and "void." He's ordering many grants restored.

YOUNG: "I am hesitant to draw this conclusion, but I have an unflinching obligation to draw it – that this represents racial discrimination. And discrimination against America’s LGBTQ community. That’s what this is. I would be blind not to call it out. My duty is to call it out."

MORE YOUNG: "It is palpably clear that these directives and the set of terminated grants here also are designed to frustrate, to stop, research that may bear on the health – we’re talking about health here, the health of Americans, of our LGBTQ community. That’s appalling."

YOUNG still going: "I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable. I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this ... I ask myself, how can this be?"

"I have the protection that the founders wrote into the constitution, along with imposing upon me a duty to speak the truth in every case. I try to do that. What if I didn’t have those protections. What if my job was on the line, my profession... Would I have stood up against all this? Would I have said, 'you can’t do this?' You are bearing down on people of color because of their color. The constitution will not permit that."

"Have we fallen so low? Have we no shame?"

NEW: Chaos at the ICE detention centre in New Jersey.

Newark Mayor Ras Baraka has been arrested by the DOJ after Members of Congress (apparently being shoved by agents) attempted to include him on a visit.

Baraka has opposed the facility, saying it opened without permits.

It’s also worth reading the demand letter that GSA, HHS, and Dept of Ed sent to Harvard on Friday. The β€œviewpoint diversity” faculty hiring, student admission, and audit demands are WILD. Wildly unconstitutional that is.

I’ve been a green card holder since 2005. I am a social scientist researching racism + DEI, and my entire research is listed in this list. I go to protests. Tho I’m afraid of speaking up, I’m much more privileged than most at this moment so I can’t be silent. If you can, speak up for those who can’t
