Once again, the ones shrieking about censorship on the left for the past decade actually were just cynically projecting. The right is now employing literal, government sanctioned censorship with real consequences. Why does the left keep capitulating to these bad faith arguments?
no funding if it seems like the research MIGHT involve a woman or a nonwhite person
🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

From 2006-2011, I worked closely with undocumented immigrant communities. In that time, I witnessed destitute, sometimes hazardous living conditions, people subsiding on horrifically low wages, and precarious temporary work arrangements that stripped people of any predictability.

I walked outside today in a sprawling park by the river, and was compelled to repeat, “I give thanks for every living thing on this planet” as I passed the leafless bushes and trees, the tufts of grass, the magpies. I give thanks.

Unsolicited advice from a white progressive: If you are a liberal, leftist, or progressive seeking a community where you may find belonging that grows into a family-like bond, consider joining a church. I know this sounds counterintuitive, but many churches are revolutionary community spaces.

Creative work matters, even in dark times.
We cannot accept pessimism as wisdom. Hope creates tenacity. Our creative acts—whether writing, preaching, organizing, or building—are not mere distractions from despair but active resistance against it.
