Trump’s pick to chair the FCC signals willingness to revoke broadcasting licenses that the Trump admin deems as not operating “in the public interest.”
By doing so, he’s also implicitly coercing outlets to engage in self-censorship.
Controlling the media is a way authoritarians consolidate power.

Had the opportunity to moderate a discussion with my team on the lessons we’ve learned educating a staff of 7000 hospital employees on race and racism, WHILE being people of color ourselves.

We left X and joined Bluesky because those against our parks said, “If you don’t like it, leave.” So we did. And now they’re saying, “No, come back so we can say mean things to you—it makes us feel important.”

I introduced the term "race evaders" for those in the field of language development (or any field) who rhetorically circumvent race so that racist assumptions embedded in their arguments become more palatable.

the system preceding race and gender integrated education and DEI was not even facially "meritocratic" - elite higher ed served as finishing schools for rich failsons, half of admissions criteria were invented to keep out Jews. the naked cronyism is the America they wanted to return to "greatness"

A Latinx mom came up to me after a talk: “Dr. Mike, I loved your talk…[etc.].” She is holding hand of tiny, little brown boy.
Walking away, I hear a tiny, excited voice say:
“Mom, We can be doctors?”
Little boy didn’t know brown folks could be doctors. 😭 heart instantly broke.

It will be annoying af but we don’t need the term DEI in order to do the work we need to do.

Course changes at the University of North Texas’ college of education included removing words such as “race,” “gender,” “class” and “equity” from titles and descriptions
‘Race,’ ‘equity’ removed from UNT course titles to comply with Texas DEI ban, faculty say
The University of North Texas changed class titles and descriptions with some citing the state’s DEI ban though officials deny that’s the cause.

There have been two mass deportations of Mexicans in US history.
Both swept up hundreds of thousands of US citizens in the process - many of them children. open.substack.com/pub/greattra...

There have been two "Mass Deportations" of Mexicans and US citizens of Mexican descent that have happened before in the United States. You don’t know about it because this history isn’t taught.

Woke up this morning remembering how, after Kerry's 2004 loss to W, the Democratic party and the press decided it was abortion's fault. When I tell you that this is not an exaggerated memory:

Don’t have an answer to this but I teach on this as a potential micro-aggression at the hospital I work at. Always have a good chunk who get it but also (White) colleagues who push back and say “well then how do I build rapport with people???”
"Where are you from?" is a common question in public discussions for its coded/explicit racist/nativist tone (it is a language and social justice issue for sure). I'd love to think w/others on how to write /educate folks about the trauma activated by the question. also any pubs you can share please?
