When I talk about the importance of granting students accommodations WITHOUT relying on formal paperwork this is why it matters. It is DANGEROUS for some people to have diagnoses on their medical records. 1/3

A lot of people like to dismiss racism as insubstantial to material realities but we’re watching a nation burn trillions of dollars in wealth to entrench a racial system of domination.

They're only banned if you let them be banned. The proper response from any agency is "Fuck you. See you in court." All of this website scrubbing and exhibit purging is cowardly and disgraceful. As Timothy Snyder has observed, it's simply teaching power what it can do.

Under fascism, no one is safe.

Universities stayed quiet as the admin targeted DEI & foreign aid, censored research, etc.

Now, they face devastating cuts to indirect cost rates, threatening research & operations.

Silence won’t protect institutions. It won’t protect people; it never does.

Great show and even greater thread. Ignoring the disabled community has helped lead to this moment where we see the erosion of all our rights under Trump. The disabled community tried to warn folks what was coming as ableism ran unchecked, and I hope now leftists are seeing mistakes they've made

"Meeting people where they're at does not mean allowing them to stay there, it means building your arguments from there. Choosing messages that will resonate, but NEVER abandoning the causes and the communities"

The Supreme Court is hearing oral argument today in US v. Skrmetti

I fundamentally disagree w/ the idea that science is “apolitical.” Any critical thinker can see that what we call “science” is inherently invested with power, that the history of science is highly political, and that its benefits & risks are not distributed equally. It is important to be honest here

between anti-abortion extremists and rfk the trump administration seems to be a targeted effort to increase maternal and early childhood mortality

In the coming months and years we’re going to be increasingly asked to devalue and turn a blind eye to the suffering of already marginalized members of our community.

Everyone in medicine should unionize. The “business” doesn’t even care about the “customers” so they’re not gonna care about you

Notable they were more worried about the potential legal consequences for harming a fetus and not the legal consequences of the woman dying #reprosky
