The Olympic women's short program is today, and this is my preview / reminder for those who may be wondering what happened since the last Olympics.
At the last Olympics, as many of you know, the breathless talk of the commentators was about women doing quad jumps! Wow! Amazing!

There is no measured way to say what I am about to say.
If the Supreme Court agrees with the Trump administration to end birthright citizenship, we must end this current Supreme Court.
I do not say this lightly.

From Steven Dansky’s Facebook page: “A statement of resistance from the Gay Liberation Front (GLF) on this day of independence. GLF was the first LGBTQ organization founded post-Stonewall Rebellion. The undersigned surviving members are all ages from 70s-80s.”

Please put in the history books that America died of the fatal combination of hubris and our inability to differentiate between being rich, white, male, and mean and being intelligent.

No joke: “There are at least 112 proposed state bills concerning school – and public – libraries that seek to expand the definition of what is deemed obscene or “harmful to minors” and to limit librarian staff’s ability to determine which books are in their collections”

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

Finally sat and read “If We Were Villains” and the theatre conservatory alum in me has no words. And I don’t know when I’ve last read a book I wanted to sit with and process and dissect like this. So worth the read

Maddow: I think it is a bad mistake to let Joy Reid walk out the door. It is also unnerving to see that on a network where we've got two nonwhite hosts in primetime, both of our nonwhite hosts in primetime are losing their shows, as is Katie Phang on the weekend. I do not defend it.

Every time I see one of these statistics, I think about the impact of HIV and I wish that number was larger, as it rightly should be.
Nearly one in 10 adults in the U.S. identifies as LGBTQ, according to a large analysis from Gallup released Thursday — almost triple the share since Gallup began counting in 2012, and up by two-thirds since 2020. nyti.ms/42ZZGIN

I mean, literally, the answer to this is "I am federally prohibited from telling you anything about my students without a subpoena or judicial warrant; if you have a subpoena or judicial warrant, please submit it to [Legal Officer/Office] to ensure it is in compliance with all relevant federal laws"
If you have students who are trans no you don’t. If you have students of color who may be affected by ICE no you don’t. If anyone asks you gender or racial the makeup of your class you don’t have to tell them.
Protect your class and protect your students by not complying in advance. They trust you.

1. Breaking News: Donald Trump has signed an executive order targeting trans youth and teachers in schools who teach for them.
It goes after "social transition" and threatens arrests.
I will go through line by line, as I have the last 3 nights.
