I look forward to the day when we no longer find ourselves awake at 3am discussing powerful pedophiles.
Perhaps that’s overly optimistic though.

The thing you need to understand about the Right is that they are absolutely fine just plain burning down higher education if taking it over ideologically doesn’t work. They’re perfectly happy reducing it to ashes.

I love listening to Sherrilyn explain things. (Right now on the Amicus pod with @dahlialithwick.bsky.social .) She said the civil rights movement was a democracy movement. Therefore, the backlash that has been going on ever since is an anti-democracy movement. Get motives out in the open.

A font that works for dyslexic people *really is* DEI -- it is Inclusion. Trump personally ordered all government documents to use fonts that work less well for dyslexic people, explicitly because it is DEI. A hugely costly change for no purpose other than exclusion.
