"The defense of gender is at once the defense of open inquiry and the ideal of the university."
“Gender studies as a discipline…is defined by a set of debates and problematics.” In this 10-Minute Talk, Judith Butler FBA discusses gender as a field of study and its interdisciplinary contributions to research, social analysis and social movements.

UPDATE: The National Park Service is *officially closing* Dupont Circle Park through World Pride weekend. Fencing is being put up around the park. NPS says the request came from U.S. Park Police as "necessary for the maintenance of public health and safety, and protection" of the park
Dupont Circle, the heart of D.C.'s historic LGBTQ neighborhood, will be closed to the public during #WorldPride this weekend. The National Park Service says the closure request came from D.C. Police, based on a “history and pattern of destructive and disorderly behavior” during past Pride weekends.

As one of Senator Slotkin's constituents: seriously, what fresh hell is this? Michigan is better than this, and better than the "woke is weak" line Senator Slotkin's been towing of late.
So Sen. Slotkin wants to cut the Adverse Effect Wage Rate (AEWR). That’s just what it sounds like. It’s calculated to be the lowest wage possible to pay foreign guest workers, without having an adverse effect on American wages.
Respectfully asking @slotkin.senate.gov: what the fresh hell is this?

Instead of fighting to protect American workers, Elissa Slotkin told us she’s decided to work with the GOP to make it easier and cheaper to import vulnerable foreign guest workers.
How does THAT add up to a “war plan” against Trump?
