Legacy media, it's hard to take you seriously when you tell us that maga screwing over trans folks, women, immigrants & BIPOC is a distraction, but you then boost this shit.

Meanwhile, trans people cannot get visas to enter the US, and anyone can be challenged about their gender based on "visual clues."
That's some might fine Nazi work there, Lou.

This will be seen in Europe and the UK as an egregious attack on the rule of law and human dignity, aided and abetted by elements of the current US administration, who evidently see this as fan service.

And Ethnic Studies will be anti-white, and Gender Studies will be anti-men, and fill in the blank. We’re being erased, in real time, one marginalized group at a time.
Stand up to this shit and stop complying, god damn it.

Hochul’s move here is profoundly racist and dehumanizing. Defining Palestinian studies as fundamentally antisemitic means defining Palestinians as something to be erased. It is genocidal.
This is also an unacceptable attack on academic freedom. The governor should have no say in faculty hiring.

A new McCarthy era is upon us. Stupid, depressing, and dangerous as ever. I wonder whose name will carry the dunce cap in the history books. Too many are complicit. I’ll need to find upset and action, but for now I’m feeling grief at the dehumanization inherent to all this.

Apropos of nothing, you can use this link to, say, file a discrimination complaint against Trump University. Feel free to describe in detail the small size of the former guy's junk.

Pro tip for would-be allies: if you write a statement to support trans people, and don't have the guts to mention trans people, then you didn't write a statement to support trans people.

I have not been especially political, as a physicist, in my classroom before--though I have called out bullshit. But I am for sure now, because fuck these fascists.
Einstein, Bohr, Meitner, Born, Franck, Frisch, Szilard, Schroedinger, Wigner, von Neumann, Fermi. All left because of fascists.

With the NIH cuts, there’s no longer any excuse for any professor, in any discipline, to not address the moment in their classes. You don’t even have to be “political” if that’s how you roll; this changes everything. You need only observe reality. 1/

Not for the first time I’ve wondered when Riggs is gonna drop a container on that South African asshole.
“the guy you voted for is falling asleep in the corner while a coked up billionaire rambles about why he shut off your medicaid” seems like a layup for Dems
Asked to respond to people who say he's orchestrating a hostile takeover of government, Elon Musk lies that "a majority of the public voted for President Trump"

I'm sad to share that the trans vet that took her life outside the VA last week was apparently Elisa Rae Shupe.
She's someone many of us know - she was responsible for the mass email leak that let us know how the ADF, Heritage, etc planned to enact trans eradication we see today.
RIP Elisa.
