DEI initiatives were never about giving unqualified women and/or people of color preference over qualified white men They were about ensuring that unqualified white men weren't automatically hired over abundantly well-qualified women and/or people of color.

Gender-affirming care is life saving. Trans youth's health care decisions shouldn't be in the hands of politicians intent on restricting their freedom for political gain. I'm leading a coalition of state AGs to support @pflag.org and call on the court to protect our young people from this cruelty.

“We had to erase trans people or we couldn’t get our federal funding” Fuck the federal funding. You fight, you sue, you do not become complicit in our mass erasure. We are all in this together, and we all go down together. I will not allow us to be jettisoned or erased.

Usually when states go to court alleging federal coercion in violation of the 10th Amendment there is not a literal video of the President doing it.

I want to say again to academics who are interested in public writing. Look locally. Sure national outlets are good and I do that too, but this kind of visibility in your community can have a real impact.

This is exactly how Hitler talked. It's not even a comparison or analogy, as people claim. It's a direct connection in ideology as well as a similar approach to governance and relationship to democracy. This needs to be how we talk about it. They are the ideological descendants of Hitler.

This has been the issue I've been warning about for a decade. We've been screaming about the rise of Nazism but the media was complicit in downplaying these threats and creating a narrative "you call everything Nazi" when actually we just called blatant Nazi shit Nazi. And now it's been normalized.
