In the 1980s, my father was part of the Campaign to Keep GM Van Nuys Open, boosted by the support of leaders like the great #EdAsner, who did the voiceover for an Eric Mann documentary on the struggle to save the plant. R.I.P., Ed. My dad will be happy to see you again.

They're hunting women in Texas. That's what the new abortion ruling makes possible. This cannot stand. #VOTE marketwatch.com/story/texas-ab…

Great to be on The Cross Connection with Tiffany Cross this morning with @tiffanydcross & Christina Greer discussing women's rising expectations alongside conservative gender backlash.

Happy to put my name to this effort. Now more than ever, we need to build a broad coalition of those who will fight to save our democracy. The stakes could not be higher.

Great to hold a copy of my Theory & Event co-editor Elisabeth R. Anker's new Duke University Press book! To paraphrase Sir-Mix-a-Lot, "I like big brains and I cannot lie" :-)

Attention WPSA friends! So excited for this! :-)

The Allen, Texas, mall shooting is a horrific reminder, as if we needed one, that certain Latinos are susceptible to being drawn into the far right's hate-filled project. Increasingly, white supremacy is not just an identity—it's an ideology.
