ALERT: Senator @CoryBooker exploring most important line of questioning of the day with #Kavanaugh on his views on race, his commitment to respecting Court precedent on #affirmativeaction, and views on race and policing. 
Thank you @CoryBooker for pressing #Kavanaugh on voting rights. Voter suppression and voting discrimination are real. Kavanaugh’s opinion signing off on South Carolina #voterid law despite evidence of discriminatory purpose and effect.
Critical to press #Kavanaugh on whether he believes racial diversity in the higher ed context is a compelling state interest. We (@LawyersComm) are fighting attacks on affirmative action right NOW in cases involving Harvard & UNC. Would he respect Court’s precedent in this area?
Insightful @AAPIData @karthickr @ProfJanelleWong survey findings on #AsianAmericans & #affirmative action. The big takeaway? AsianAms have consistently supported AfAc w/key exception ChineseAms in recent yrs > aapidata.com/blog/asianam-a…
Which leads me back to fundamental Q: Who are "AsianAms," & how do we understand, live w/ its tensions (origins as a radical-left political ID w/origins in 1960s social mvmts, evolution into demographic ID category used by gov't policy, law, higher ed, marketing etc) >
There's a deep irony to fact that AsianAms began life as "Asian Americans" in 1960s-70s by seeking inclusion in emerging affirmative action programs as a way to counter the problem of invisibility in US society >
1/ A thread on #ownvoices and #representation as well as allyship, guests, holding babies, writing the other, and assorted issues dealing with POC characters/stories being written by white folks. Nothing super new, just bringing nuanced notions together, reflecting on my views.
2/ America desperately needs a LOT more #ownvoices books. That should be our priority. I've even advocated for a sort of #affirmativeAction in publishing. Agents and editors should be ACTIVELY seeking out POC talent, recruiting, nurturing, publishing.
3/ Especially in kids lit. Only 25% of books for kids feature protags of color. Only 6% are actually written by authors of color. Both of those numbers MUST CHANGE, but the second is the biggest problem. Writers of color need to be the main folks writing these stories.
This is PARIS, folks. Invasion of West by 3rd world migrants is on purposes, started before most of us were born. We have no idea who DACA's are, they are undocumented (illegal) and can assume a new identity.

Folks been plotting the overthrow of the Western World for longer than most of us have been alive. Don't underestimate what will happen if we don't deport the illegal aliens, many are from islamic countries and hate us.

If we don't deport illegal aliens its game over, look at Europe. It's a planned attack, our response will dictate if our Grandkids live or die. Remember if any illegals get amnesty, they will all get amnesty. Each will take it to court and win 100%

This afternoon at #SPSA2018, I was on a #CWC panel about mentoring across genders. Below, I'll include my comments from the panel. In it, I speak candidly about my #gradschool #metoo moment. @SPSAwomen @SPSAwomen 1/n
In many ways, graduate school is designed to make students feel like impostors. It's a common experience, but it can be particularly damaging for members of groups that have traditionally lacked access to the higher ranks of our discipline. I’ll focus on women here. 2/n
For these folks, the feeling that they have “faked” or “charmed” their way into graduate school (or the #tenuretrack, etc.) can override objective evidence of their own diligence, intellect, and merit. 3/n
