You can eat all organic food, drink green juice every day, do yoga, get vitamin D and touch grass… and still become disabled.
Wellness culture can’t save you from disability. What’s worse, most wellness “gurus” will blame you when you become ill.
Wellness culture is toxic & eugenics adjacent.

When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it, but all that had gone before.

It is not a “DEI” rollback it is the resegregation of American universities. Headline writers could at least be honest about this.
"At Michigan, students have been told the casualties include orientation events for new Latino, Arab and Asian American students, along with the LEAD Scholars program, a financial aid award for Black, Latino and Native American students."
These things harm no one. He just wants nonwhite suffering.

"Abolish ICE" sounded like a radical demand to Democrats, though ICE itself only dates to 2003.
Today, it should be clear to even the most deluded liberals that if you establish institutions for the sole purpose of brutalizing people, authoritarians will inevitably use them to consolidate power.

three years ago the New York Times published an op-ed by a college student complaining about the chilling effect of feeling "disdain" from fellow students, because the New York Times wanted to convince America the real threat to free expression was something other than a looming right-wing autocracy
This is very noticeable among students as well. Especially international students are increasingly reluctant to speak, even inside the classroom, because they are - understandably! rightfully! - frightened they might get punished by the regime.
It is heartbreaking and it makes me so fucking angry.

One sign that we are living under an authoritarian regime is that a lot of people are acting like they are living under an authoritarian regime.

I just cried in my office after having another student in here talk about precautions they're taking about their status. I have received calls all week from people who need their names removed off publications or letters I was part of organizing. I feel sick and helpless and so so angry.
