There are currently more kids in Texas with measles than there are transgender collegiate athletes in all of America.
Guess which one they want you to focus on.

🚨BREAKING: Cal State LA just moved classes online and let faculty work remotely, not for a storm, not for COVID, but because ICE is in the area.
Let that sink in, an entire university is treating immigration enforcement like a public health crisis.

If you’re going to be at the Worldcon in person, right now is a good time to get a COVID booster because four weeks from now will be your peak immunity.

USAID didn’t fail. It fed 127,000 kids—then was erased mid-crisis. No speech. No tribute. Just silence. They didn’t end a program. They liquidated a covenant. The last American promise not built on conquest—but care.

Such an important discussion we need to have as a country
this is such an important point. i do not think that the typical american understands that for most of their lives, someone like james madison or george washington or thomas jefferson was *surrounded* by black people.
A big point in my Founders in American memory class is that the visual culture of the 19th century whitewashed the era of the revolution out of recognition. I ask students if there were Black soldiers at Yorktown and if anything they describe back the Trumbull painting.

Two leading Canadian economists say a guaranteed income floor that cuts poverty in half could be funded at half the cost of previous estimates.
This would make basic income considerably cheaper than the cost of poverty itself, saving lives and money.

Well, so That happened 😖
I got hit by a car today. Like literally a car hit my body as I was exiting a Walgreens. Luckily, I somehow turned a somersault and landed on my back. The only injury was a scrape on my left elbow.
