We also find that while older Latinos and 1st Latino generation immigrants were distinctively Democratic through 2008, they then shifted (partially) more GOP post-2016; younger and US-born Latinos are declining for both and increasing in Independent during the same timeframe

Thanks Robert!! Your work sounds intriguing too, I love your emphasis on how technology and modern media shapes our politics. Happy to connect with a fellow #Salvi and hopefully will continue to do so :) I’m trying to be on this platform more than the other one!

ΒΏSe arrepienten latinos en EE. UU. de haber votado a Trump? – DW – 14/02/2025 En Internet circulan varios videos e imΓ‘genes de latinos en EE. UU. que o bien se arrepienten de haber votado a Trump o bien estΓ‘n a punto de ser deportados. ΒΏEs eso cierto?

I got to speak with a German reporter at Deutsche Welle for their Spanish-language section on the topic of recent memes depicting "regretful Latino Trump supporters" being deported.

I emphasized that Latino voters are by definition not undocumented:

IT'S OFFICIAL! My article "It's the Economy: The Effect of Economic Policy Appeals on Latino Independents" has been published at
@PolBehavior

I argue that while Latino partisans are already sorted, Latinos who remain independent are more persuaded by economic appeals

Mississippi has a bill introduced (HB 1484) that:

1. Makes "being an illegal alien" a felony, punishable by LIFE IN PRISON
2. Deputizes "illegal alien bounty hunters" and pays $1000 per person incarcerated
3. Creates a "labor board"

Absolutely disgusting

Division Chair(s): Alex Coppock, Yale University

The Experimental Research division welcomes submissions on a wide range of topics related to the use of experimental research across the fields of comparative politics, international relations, American politics, political theory, and research methods.

We invite theoretical, methodological, or empirical proposals covering diverse experimental methods, including survey, laboratory, and field experiments. We take an expansive view of what constitutes an experiment but insist upon researcher control of treatment assignment, thus excluding observational studies sometimes described as natural or quasi-experiments.

We encourage submissions that build upon the annual conference theme, β€œReimagining Politics, Power, and Peoplehood in Crisis Times.” Research on this theme and other relevant topics is welcome.

We encourage the submission of cohesive panel proposals. We are particularly interested in panels that:
(a) describe the generalizability of experimental results;
(b) investigate the homogeneity or heterogeneity of treatment effects;
(c) estimate the over-time persistence of effects;
(d) replicate and extend the core findings of an experimental research literature.

APSA offers various presentation formats, and we welcome proposals that take advantage of these options. In line with APSA’s objectives of improving diversity, inclusion, and access throughout the profession, we encourage diversity of approach and interdisciplinarity from a wide-ranging group of researchers.

MY FIRST PUBLICATION JUST GOT OFFICIALLY ACCEPTED!!!!

I argue that Latino voters and especially independents are often persuaded by campaign appeals on economic topics (e.g., jobs, healthcare, education)

Thank you to @PolBehavior and I’m excited to share the final proof soon!
