UCLA slammed for ‘chaotic’ response to protest melee in UC independent review latimes.com/california/sto…
After years of reading and writing for it, earlier this year I started editing part-time at New Labor Forum, an essential journal for scholarly and activist thinking on labor. NLF has a Twitter now, and if you care about the labor movement, you should follow it: @NewLaborForum
Brilliant interview with Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor. First honest post election critique I’ve see of not only the Democratic Party, but also the U.S. Left podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…
Today, the Board ruled that, going forward, an employer will violate the National Labor Relations Act by requiring employees to attend captive-audience meetings in which the employer expresses its views on unionization under threat of discipline/discharge. nlrb.gov/news-outreach/…
With Trump months away from taking office, immigrant rights advocates are urgently calling on Biden to protect DACA recipients, extend TPS, release non-priority immigrants from detention, and rescind lingering rules from Trump I. @immcouncil Read more: immigrationimpact.com/2024/11/13/bid…

For those interested in how/why Hispanics voted, see recording of our briefing, slide deck and crosstabs of our poll of 3,740 Hispanic voters here: Hispanic Voters Back Harris over Trump by a 62%-37% Margin; Cite Economic Concerns as Top Priorities unidosus.org/press-releases…

Unions Bet Big on Harris. Now They’re Bracing for Consequences. - The New York Times nytimes.com/2024/11/10/us/…
As I just shared on @AymanMSNBC, the goal of Trump's deportations is NOT to rid this country of criminals. It's to radically re-engineer this country's demographics. Legal immigrants will be targeted. So will citizens.
For all those writing about #Hispanic voters, a quick note: If Latinos had been the only voters in 2024, Harris would have won in every state except FL. That does not take away from the fact that Trump made gains (he did).
Will be interesting to see if these pre-election poll results are reflected in actual voter data. My guess is that they will be, which will add some much needed nuance to everyone’s “hot takes” on the Latina/o/x/e Vote.
Finally, disaggregated data on the “Latino” vote. Relieved to see that Mexican voters did better than that infographic lumping all Latinos together (right) implied. as-coa.org/articles/poll-…
My most disturbing memory from the 2020 primary is when Bernie Sanders won Nevada, California, and every other state with large numbers of Latino voters, and the Democratic Party's response was to spit in their face and tell them that they didn't matter, only South Carolina did.
Weird. Seems like the groups most rapidly fleeing the Democratic coalition are the exact ones where Bernie Sanders was strongest (working class, Latinos, Bros!). Maybe that guy was onto something!
So it seems my forthcoming paper is especially relevant. Some takeaways: 1) Latino Democrats/Republicans are partisans 2) Latino independents vote for whoever talks about the economy 3) Republicans emphasized economics in Latino outreach while Dems emphasized race/immigration
Given that unions only represent 10% of the workforce & made relatively few attempts to recruit new members over these past four years, it’s not surprising that Biden’s pro-union policies did little to reverse the Democrats’ fortunes among working people 🧵
I don't have many strong and informed opinions, but when it comes to PoC politics, that's one exception because I study them. Lots of ill takes here on PoC & the election. Rather than criticize, let me provide some evidence-based input on the election and the preceding months🧵
