When I wrote about John Comaroff in SAPIENS "The Case Against Harvard," I made the same argument so many women are making now.
Yes. We're mad that these abuses continue. But we're even madder that everyone has always known about it.
You just look away. Every. Time. You just look away.

Good thing GOPers are so into states doing their own thing with stuff like education and...Oh.
Huge @tinanguyen.bsky.social scoop: Trump is preparing to try and ban all state AI laws, going so far as having Brendan Carr’s FCC pull rural broadband funds from states that try to regulate AI www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...
Here’s the Trump executive order that would ban state AI laws
Trump is launching an all-out broadside against states with strict AI regulations.

Talking about a love interest/affair, "secretive behavior" is pronounce "secrete-ive" 😂

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to buy, own, and sell individual stocks. Period. Let's make Congressional stock trading illegal.

A House panel is holding a hearing on a proposed ban on Congressional stock trading.
This ban is long overdue. Why should members of Congress be able to use privileged information to make money on the stock market, while they’re supposed to be working for you?

Made the front page of the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner today. I also have a letter to the editor about NANA.
These ICE contracts use the same violence inflicted on Alaska Natives during the boarding school era- separating families and denying access to language and culture.
It is white supremacy.

People can be mad that Providence is a Catholic medical system and I'm not even gonna say they're wrong to be mad about it.
But also: in a lot of Western Washington, Providence is the only medical provider accepting Medicaid payments. Providence having to downsize is going to hurt the poor. A lot.

As a direct result of President Trump's Big Ugly Bill, almost 300 jobs will be cut from Providence Swedish's First Hill, Cherry Hill, Ballard, and Issaquah hospitals and clinics. These are not the only layoffs we've seen in our health care system in Washington state in recent months.

The cuts will affect jobs at Providence Swedish’s First Hill, Cherry Hill, Ballard and Issaquah hospitals and nearby clinics.

Providence/Swedish is one of if not the main provider of healthcare in the Seattle area. They own several major hospitals AND a bunch of smaller clinics that have kept their names so you may not even know your dr is employed by them. They’ve been allowed to consolidate in a very dangerous way

I have long said people don't be hatin Chief Justice John Roberts as much as they should be hatin Chief Justice John Roberts
“Roberts has been embedding white-dominant authoritarianism into the country’s source code for two decades. It’s impossible to imagine today’s crisis without the Roberts court having first undermined the foundations of our democracy.”
This all on the leader of the MAGA #scotus ↘️

It's a short distance between "health is your personal responsibility" to "you were born wrong and therefore you should die." Fuck you, Markwayne.
Markwayne Mullin: "Reward people for being healthy. Think about this. Healthcare is the only industry that you're not rewarded for taking care of your responsibility. If you think about homeowners insurance, if you're within 500 feet of a fire hydrant, your insurance goes down."
