When I saw the disgusting "trump Gaza" video this morning, the bile rose to my throat.

I won't share it. Instead, help me promote this counter narrative by Tala, from Gaza.

"Gaza is not yours to take. Gaza is ours, and we are still here. This is our land."

BRAVO to her strength and DEFIANCE. 🥹💪

Don’t know if anyone else read the letter and caught that it contradicts the majority opinion in SFFA, which allows discussion of racial identities in essays to be used as a factor in admissions.

They’re trying to rewrite an already very conservative SCOTUS opinion

Black excellence: Twice as qualified, half as respected, and still passed over or labeled as a ‘DEI hire.’

Black folks have always known this because we’ve seen it happen to our own family members. I know I have.

It would be fantastic if major federal institutions would acknowledge that the executive branch cannot legally unilaterally cancel or redistribute congressionally appropriated funding on ideological grounds and thus they have no legal obligation to comply with such directives
Trump funding freeze a blatant violation of Constitution, federal law: Legal experts
The Constitution, federal law and court decisions make it clear: President Donald Trump's order to pause federal funding is against the law, legal experts tell ABC News.

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

No matter where you fall on the TikTok ban, the President undoing by “executive order” a law passed by Congress and upheld unanimously by the Supreme Court is an unconstitutional abuse of power.

I genuinely think we should start calling businesses and schools falling to the anti-DEI movement “segregationists” because they are re-segregating. And earlier rounds of segregationists *also* explained their preferred policy in race-neutral terms (“state’s rights” and “freedom of association”).

Went to hear from the Dr. Bailey who coined the term misogynoir last night. What a panel! Panelist Fleur Larsen made a profound statement about how us, white women, gave the world 45 AGAIN. "We gave up our integrity to keep our privilege". 🎤🫳
