What an honor to serve as one of the #SPSSICON24 keynote speakers. It was great fun to share research on psychology, racial justice, and healing AND to connect with many like-minded scholars. @SPSSI
“There are many ways we have been dehumanized. We see that dehumanization with the beating of Rodney King [and the killing of George Floyd]. But we re-humanize ourselves through resistance.”

Deeply honored to have been able to learn from the meaningful work of @JenniferMGmez1, @camujic @GinaSissoko at #SPSSICon. Presenting with Dr. Gómez, who theorized CBTT and made my dissertation work come to life was a surreal experience. Thank you!

Asna is an absolute role model to her generation. So cool under undue pressure from CNN (classic, btw). Truly a loss to humanity that she was denied the ability to give her speech. We should be ashamed of failing her.
USC valedictorian Asna Tabassum joined me on NewsNight tonight after her school cancelled her graduation speech citing “threats.” What she planned to say and what she thinks really happened:

A quick story. I’m on ambulatory medicine at the VA. Yesterday I went to get a patient from the waiting room. A Black man who served in Vietnam. When I introduced myself as Dr. Igwe, he gave me a very strange look. I asked if I had the wrong person, but he said “no, that’s me”.

“Uncommitted is literally a vote for Trump.” Every time someone says this they think they are the first clever person w/ this note. Do you all know Trump is not on the dem primary ballot? It’s March, not November? Have you not learned how much can happen in 8 months since 2020?

I don’t wish to be a messy bench; but the original title of my op-ed for The Charlotte Observer was “No-preference voters with power to sway the general elections demand a permanent ceasefire in Gaza.” Please witness MSM consent manufacturing in action. They don’t even mean to.

Last week, @nickconfessore published a damning piece of investigative reporting that didn't get nearly enough attention. It exposed the orchestrated racist and homophobic campaign against "DEI" that many of us knew was occurring but couldn't prove.
