Apparently states’ rights stop the moment women board a plane with autonomy in their carry-on.

Despite the desperate state of this nation and how dire the moment is, I still see a disturbing, widespread white procrastination right now: too many people seemingly waiting for a future moment they will step fully into the fray.

White Friends, You Can't Be Woke and Silent
In my travels around this country, both in person and online, I meet lots of white people who fancy themselves woke.

One thing that really stands out to me about Harvard is they are making the affirmative case for higher ed. They are not just defending. I think this is the way to fight back, though there is a long way to go. We all must assert our values even as they are attacked. www.harvard.edu/president/ne...
The Promise of American Higher Education
No government—regardless of which party is in power—should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue

What this PBS news story screams out loud but does not mention:
By living car free, the woman featured has lost 25lbs. Thus avoiding high blood pressure, heart & kidney disease.
Cars make communities sicker. Let’s build for people instead.

Take Husband’s Name? No Vote For You!
GOP “Save" act is an attack on women.
It’s men-only voting like way back when.
Birth name must match in this awful act.
Money can fix the issue. That’s a poll tax.

As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget.
Really think about how twisted this all is.

The US military has removed photos of the B-29 bomber “Enola Gay” — which dropped the first atomic bomb on Japan — apparently because it contains the word “gay,” which violates their new anti-DEI rules.
