if you're wondering why your trans friends everywhere are a little on edge right now, it's because a story about a radical conservative christian student abusing rules and processes to deliberately target a trans instructor consistently gets reframed to omit the entirety of the anti-trans bigotry
If you’re wondering why your friends in academia are a little on edge right now, it’s because an eighteen-year-old who hasn’t done the reading, doesn’t look at the assignment, and has does no critical thinking skills more complex than “because I think it’s in the Bible” can literally end your career

If ICE can threaten arrest for filming, then journalists, watchdogs, and protesters can all be silenced the same way. You don’t have freedom of the press if recording police is treated as terrorism. #holdfast

Mr. Cuban, I'm a professor at Yale School of Public Health. Here's a paper published by one of my colleagues in the top medical journal evaluating the Medicare for All Act, which would not only get us there, but would save $450B per year. Happy to discuss! www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

I don't actually have to have violently abusive, horrible people in my life, just because of an accident of birth. They have caused me enough suffering – thanks. Anyone trying to shame me for that can get in the sun.
Yeah, no thanks.
Stop guilting people about being estranged from family members. It someone is they likely have personal reasons for being so.

I want to stress, also, how when we approached the Trump White House with a lengthy comment request on our findings, the only things they disputed - among the batch of lawless, titanically rancid shit - were a) Stephen miller was NOT regularly made fun of by his former GOP Hill colleagues…
In a profile of Stephen Miller with @swin24.bsky.social, we reported he’s privately laughed off immigrant families’ “sob stories.”

Speaking last night on Fox about the spiked CECOT story, Miller laughed about how ‘60 Minutes’ is “trying to tell sob stories."

They were being stingy with the copyright on this one so the only way I could put it out was to put footage of me dancing in the corner of all the clips I used. I hope it's not too noticeable.
