This just in, statistical analysis is woke ideology now: “We don’t want people in the federal government who feel like it’s their pet project to go persecute police departments based on statistical evidence… The job here is to enforce the federal civil rights laws — not woke ideology.”

I've been studying the growth of the multiracial right with Dan HoSang, @joelowndes.bsky.social and Micah English for the last few years. This work has included attending far right conferences and rallies, listening to right-wing media (especially podcasts), and interviewing key influencers.

📣 Out on #FirstView 📣 In "Pop Culture and the Evolving Politics of the Right", @min0p0ly.bsky.social & Micah English demonstrate how interpretive analysis of pop culture and media allow for a deeper understanding of gender and race in right-wing politics. buff.ly/dRSbrU1 gendersky polisky

Notes from the Field: "Pop Culture and the Evolving Politics of the Right: The Potential of Interpretive Methods for Studying Gender, Race, and Politics" by Minali Aggarwal and Micah English.
Article begins: Scholars of gender have long realized that questions regarding gender, women, and politics require a multi-method, nuanced approach. When a plurality of white women voted for Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election, social scientists increasingly began to recognize the urgency of undertaking new approaches to understanding gender, race, and voting behavior in the United States.

For the @theguardian.com I wrote about the abduction of Mahmoud Khalil & Trump's exploitation of anti-Palestinian racism to descend the nation into authoritarianism, with the full collaboration of academia. No one is free until Palestine is free. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I have heard from multiple sources today that lawyers who provide Know Your Rights presentations in ICE detention centers have been kicked out completely. These presentations are sometimes the only way people in detention find out details about the process they’re going through.

"We must grapple with the reality that the current models we have for philanthropy are not up to the task of incubating, developing and supporting strategy on the left." on the list of serious election post-mortems, highly worth your time to read www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Left Organizing Is in Crisis. Philanthropy Is a Major Reason Why.

Progressive philanthropy lacks good strategy, so too many of our organizations are hollow—and that left us unable to prevent a second Trump term.
