I hope the UT students are fighting for their right to learn about gender and race. Their voices carry the most weight.

Yes, and let's also remember #YourSlipIsShowing, the Black women activists who predicted all of this first and received no credit. "Before Gamergate, before the 2016 election, they launched a campaign against Twitter trolls masquerading as women of color... If only more people had paid attention."

slate.com

Years Ago, Black Feminists Worked Together to Unmask Twitter Trolls Posing as Women of Color. If Only More People Paid Attention.

The fake accounts had handles like @NayNayCantStop, @LatrineWatts, and @CisHate, and bios like “Queer + black + angry.”

Remember when i said we're living in the scariest parts of a Gibson novel thanks to a bunch of dudes who misunderstand Gibson's novels? Well now I want to discuss the verified govt accounts spewing rightwing propaganda— possibly via a bot-run troll farm— & why you should block them for your safety.

A lot of y’all are not arguing about whether or not violence, in and of itself, is right or wrong, you’re arguing about when YOU believe the violence is justified. Y’all love violence. You soak in it like bath water. And while water comes in different forms, some you may dislike, it’s still water.

For what it's worth, this is precisely the reason the Klan wore hoods when they terrorized communities and disappeared unfavored minorities. Historically, it wasn't called doxxing it was just recognizing a fascist community member.

Breaking: The Trevor Project received a stop-work order last night on its contract with the national 988 suicide prevention hotline. The Trump administration is eliminating the option for LGBTQ callers to the hotline to press 3 and connect with someone who specializes in LGBTQ mental health.

"We are willing to sacrifice these people's rights" is not a compelling campaign slogan (and it's already taken by the people we are supposed to oppose). You do not defeat fascists by becoming them.

This is trivial but the way the Trump administration communicates basically everything is incredibly rudimentary. It’s written like none of them have any formal education and they want that for everyone. Sigh

For the second year in a row, college graduation season is being marked by student activism in solidarity with Palestine, and consequent backlash.

My first GRA (now a prof at Depaul) bought me this shirt in 2019 because I would always tell my students numbers are tools not truth. It was quite literally my stats mantra. I say it so often that my research team adopted it as our lab motto. #Numbers4Justice #QuantCrit #CiteBlackWomen

Photo of the Numbers 4 Justice research team. 12 team members standing outside in blue shirts with the lab name.

Numbers 4 Justuce team photo. Everyone is facing away from the camera and pointing to the back of their shirt at our motto, Numbers are tools, not truth.

This slide and section of the book is based on an exchange Castillo and I had on Twitter. I am one of the "advocates" who called her in bc of how her Brookings article dismissed Afro-Latinos' concerns re antiblack erasure. I have also published extensively on the topic. Guess who was not cited?

Just found the slide where Castillo and Strunk use my motto to summarize someone else's QuantCrit Framework. Guess who is no where to be found in their presentation?

Slide from presentation by Castillo and Strunk. Slide reads
Anti-Racist Framework: QuanCrit, QuantCrit attempts to take the lessons and insights of CRT and apply them to
understanding and using quantitative material
• Examine how numbers are used to disguise systemic racism in education, and protect
the racist status quo, white supremacy
• Provides us with a framework that will guide our research and policy making decisions
• “Numbers are no more obvious, neutral, and factual than any other form of data.
Statistics are socially constructed in exactly the same way that interview data are
constructed”
• Summarize: Numbers are tools not truth

"Numbers are tools not truth" is the motto for my lab. I literally branded it. Yet I am not cited in the book being promoted with my tagline. On a subject I have been published on since 2011. #CitationalJustice is #QuantCrit #EduSky #StatsSky #AcademicSky #Blackademics #CiteBlackWomen

Good research design requires careful thought and not just checking boxes, but this list can cue such thinking. I noted the authors' recognition of the need to incorporate QuantCrit. Wish that had been done here. See @carltonfong.bsky.social & Irizarry for a good intro: doi.org/10.1016/j.ce...
