But what alarms me in all this is how the girls who were victimized by these men are largely forgotten. I want us to find ways of centering them in the discourse.

The legal nuances here ...
Referring the admin’s emergency petition to the whole court would have slowed down getting the payments out. We expect a First Circuit decision within the next day, day and a half. Monday a.m. tops. Stay tuned.
#BREAKING: Justice Jackson has issued an "administrative" stay, temporarily pausing a district court order that would've required the USDA to continue using contingency funds to pay SNAP benefits.

The stay expires 48 hours after the First Circuit rules on USDA's request for a stay pending appeal.

🔥 WashU in STL rejects Trump’s loyalty oath compact! 🔥

The resistance cannot be stopped!

AAUP chapters and organized higher ed workers across the nation are unified in spearheading this fight—let’s keep it up!
