The Trump Administration exempts new nuclear reactors from environmental review
The announcement comes just days after NPR revealed the administration had secretly rewritten safety and environmental standards.

Jeff Koons being in the Epstein files is so unsurprising. No one is surprised by that, are they?

Mandating a binary, immutable definition of sex in research is epistemic vandalism. It doesn’t just erase trans people, it wreaks havoc on the tools of knowledge production, leading to less nuanced, less accurate, and less rigorous science.
📣 Today @felicitycallard.bsky.social and I have published the first peer-reviewed response to the 'Sullivan Review' of research and data on sex and gender.

The Review could threaten trans rights and inclusion, erode academic freedom, and undermine research quality.

I created this #zine about #OnaJudge. The Trump admin instructed NPS employees to remove exhibits at Independence National Historical Park related to slaves owned by Pres. Washington, who went to great lengths to keep his slaves as property, circumventing PA law.

Alison C. Rollins's poem "Hymn of Inscape" from her book Black Bell.

The book featured real people who escaped or 'inscaped'.
The words poem and book seem insufficient for Allison C. Rollins's poem "Hymn of Inscape" from her book Black Bell.

Her notes cite inspiration from several enslaved persons, other poems, Langston Hughes essay "The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain," & Gerard Manley Hopkins's concept of inscape.

Today we cover a man who did something truly amazing and showed the extent a man would go to earn his freedom.

This man earned his nickname the hard way. This is the story of Henry "Box" Brown.

DFL legislators need to insist on a compensation fund of tens of millions of dollars to offset economic harms of the ICE siege. It infuriates me that Mercado Central has to hold a $500,000 bake sale to hold onto their building. Tens of fucking millions.

University administrators across the country are holding this "compact", drafted by one Epstein associate to give another Epstein associate leverage over their institutions, hoping that silence will protect them from public scrutiny. "No" is a complete sentence and faculty were correct to demand it.
This is the U Penn donor who helped push the President out, pushed to eliminate arts & science offerings, and drafted Trumps "compact" with universities.
People like Rowan repeatedly claimed the moral high ground to impose their agenda on students and faculty.
