Two days after Michael was killed, I wrote this short piece about what he meant to me – and more importantly, what he meant to us. It was the hardest thing I've ever written. Thanks to @VersoBooks for running it. https://t.co/NmLi3wNfVS

“Races” are ideological formations and ideological formations cannot cast votes; only individuals can. If you start from the point of asking why a certain individual voted a particular way, you will get much further in your analysis than by asking why a “group” did.

Not a coincidence that Stop the Steal theories of mass voter fraud involve conspiracies about election administration in Black cities. Working paper from @KevinTMorris & @IonShapiro shows that racial attitudes moderate beliefs about voter fraud. ungated https://t.co/RMqIouVUpZ

CHENJERAI is always killing it. But, my word, Empire City is a kind of opus. His reporting chops, his activist’s heart (guts?), and his HUMOR all on display. Don’t sleep on this one. #EmpireCity @catchatweetdown

My first #NewPubAlert! This project began when I was still a Master’s student so it’s truly surreal to see the end result, and the gratitude I hold for ⁦@DerronWallace⁩ as my mentor and co-author simply can’t be expressed within 280 characters.
