NYU professor working in political theory, Latinx, and race & gender politic; most recent book is 'Cruelty as Citizenship'; occasional MSNBC guest!
New York
Joined January 2013
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.
In the wake of the Jan. 6 riot, been thinking about nonwhite participants in white mob violence, and @PostOpinions gave me the chance to explore *multiracial whiteness* in the Trump era & beyond. @AliVelshi @chrislhayes @Lawrence @JoyAnnReid @LatinxProjNYU

Grateful for @AnandWrites’ NYT op-ed today on the pro-democracy left: “It needs to build a new & improved movement—feisty, galvanizing, magnanimous, rooted & expansionary—that can outcompete the fascists & seize the age.” EVERYONE needs to read this.

Finally had the chance to visit lovely Oxford last month (thanks for the invite, @JeanneMorefiel1 @Politics_Oxford!) and couldn’t resist stopping by @OxUniPress for a photo of the mothership. @OUPPolitics

Am still unsure whether I have a personal business model, but a pleasure to discuss the possibility with women-and-finance guru @RichThinkingB for her 2022 report, just published. Check out some smart women’s thoughts at

Great to hold a copy of my @theory_event co-editor @libankerDC's new @DukePress book! To paraphrase Sir-Mix-a-Lot, "I like big brains and I cannot lie" :-)

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.
"To lose our democracy but preserve the filibuster in its current form—in which a minority can block popular legislation without even having to hold the floor—would be a short-sighted mistake of historic proportions." - 150+ leading democracy scholars.

Great to be on @CrossConnection this morning with @TiffanyDCross & @Dr_CMGreer discussing women's rising expectations alongside conservative gender backlash.
.@CBeltranNYU: "It's a very odd moment in which the one hand we see women gaining power, and gaining space, at the same time as we see a lot of anxiety and hostility toward those transformations," #CrossConnection

They're hunting women in Texas. That's what the new abortion ruling makes possible. This cannot stand. #VOTE

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 @EricMannSpeaks documentary on the struggle to save the plant. R.I.P., Ed. My dad will be happy to see you again.
