If you have ever been told you are "too much" (as I have), we need you now. We need all the muchness, all the too-much-ness, when so much is being taken. It is how we get through and thrive.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

My grants were terminated.
I have heard of so many LGBTQ+ grants terminated today. I am so sorry to everyone affected. This is devastating to our communities and to us as researchers. I have nothing more eloquent, comforting, or helpful to say. This is all just immeasurably horrible.

Accusations of antisemitism are going to be the tip of the spear for much of the fascist takeover of the United States.
Those who care about antisemitism must vociferously push back. They want us to be complicit so they have a justification for their actions as well as have a group to blame it on.

Question for community. I have a colleague in the States who was told that for her grant to continue she could only ask about biology sex with 2 options (male/female). How would folks navigate this in the least harmful and most affirming way possible?

I strongly enourage everyone to take the time to read “Reclaiming Power and Place” especially as the DOJ has removed the reports on Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women in the US. www.mmiwg-ffada.ca/wp-content/u...

I wrote about managing overwhelm during these times and about practices that can help us regulate our emotions on our own and in our organizing groups.
Managing Overwhelm Amid Trump's Chaos
To fight the inhumanity of our enemies, we must nurture our own humanity, and cherish what makes our existence meaningful and worthwhile.
