🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!

ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand

You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen

*Everyone has stories like this*

Excited to share that my first, first-author article is out! πŸŽ‰

This topic is very dear to me and we must continue to call out the systems which have historically and continue to enact harm on Black youth.

The article is also open access and accessible through this link: shorturl.at/YMGSC

A bit late sharing but my co-authors and I wrote a piece on Latina Girlhoods for the Sage Encyclopedia of Education and Gender!πŸŽ‰

My co-authors (sister scholars) and I loved writing this piece together to reflect upon our own understandings of Latina Girlhood(s).

This has been the most transformative experience within my graduate career. We discussed how our own understandings of Latinidad shaped our girlhood(s) and how working across disciplinary rules and boundaries led us to this work ❀️. We have some wonderful stuff coming so stay tuned πŸ€“!

The trailblazing transgender rights activist Miss Major has passed away at the age of 78.

Miss Major was a lifelong organizer and participant in the ballroom scene. She took part in the 1969 Stonewall Riots and was injured by the police β€” but she kept fighting.

I wanna signal boost this - I am looking to recruit a prospective PhD student to join my Stress and Health Equity lab at the University of Delaware in HDFS. My research concerns biopsychosocial mechanisms of health across the life course with an emphasis on stress and coping.

70 years ago, on this date, Emmett Till was kidnapped and brutally murdered by white men.

His family, including his cousin who was with him at the time, is repeating the train ride he took from Chicago to Mississippi in 1955 to mark the anniversary
