This is appalling
Tufts student Rumeysa Ozturk was detained by ICE.
A video shared with GBH News shows a man in a hoodie approach her, then grab her wrists. Ozturk screams, then asks “Can I call the police?” before being told “We’re the police.”

Hi everyone! I am looking to conduct 60 minute interviews with individuals who work with criminal legal system data (such as police, court, or prison data) in the United States. These can be administrative data, survey data, experimental data, or other types of data.

I'm excited to announce my new project on skin tone and health -- examining colorism as social stress, addressing colorism in pulse oximetry, and more -- with generous support from the NIH Director's New Innovator Award.

Using a bunch of datasets and measures, @natewilmers and I find that US income inequality seems to have stopped growing in the last decade. Nate's thread is terrific. Here are a couple big takeaways.
Since 1980, the defining fact of US labor markets has been rising inequality.
In a new @PNASnews, @AeppliClem and I show that inequality has stopped rising for a decade (c.2012).
But many of the drivers of rising inequality have persisted. What gives?

All of Massachusetts is facing a housing unaffordability crisis - but Cambridge worst of all. Every year of inaction is another year more of us get pushed out (and another year of pain for those who manage to hang on).
ALT Cambridge Rent Hikes Outpace Other MA Cities (2005 - 2019) Cambridge rents increased 86%, while in the Greater Boston area the typical rent rose by 54%.
Why is sociology so silent on inflation? Soc's ideas/data/methods seem perfectly suited to unpack + test the theorized mechanisms -- with studies of consumption, expectations, household decision-making, firm ethnographies, class & corporate power, etc.

How have ethnoracial categories changed in Israeli criminal justice statistics over the last 30 years? And what have the consequences been for the statistical depictions of Palestinians/Arabs in Israel? A short thread on my new article in @ERSjournal tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…

Good to see that this paper's finally out! High-paying occupations are increasingly siloed into high-paying workplaces, worsening income inequality
Different firms pay differently for similar jobs. Who benefits from this?
20 yrs ago: blue collar workers, at big, unionized or generous firms.
Today: mostly managers and professionals, already high-paid due to skill.
This exacerbates inequality!

This is incredibly exciting! Very happy/hopeful for the UAW
The one million members of the United Auto Workers have won the right to elect the top officers of their union, in a historic victory for union democracy.
The vote paves the way for a contested election in 2022, after years of corruption and concessions.
