Today’s the day! The statewide Day of Action against Senate Bill 1. Let’s show them what the Buckeye Nation thinks of this nasty bill — and the OSU admin shutting down the Office of Diversity & Inclusion and the Center for Belonging & Social Change. @ohaaup.bsky.social

Shutting down the Office of Diversity & Inclusion reverses the hard fought gains of Black students, staff, and faculty in the late 1960s. The Office of Minority Affairs (1970), formed out of dedicated struggle, became ODI in 2012. Preserve this history! www.thelantern.com/2019/10/offi...

The Ohio State president is not fighting, but many of us will. It is incredibly disappointing that President Carter unilaterally took this action without consulting or notifying anyone beforehand.

This is also why I think it is a mistake for universities and corporations to simply re-brand DEI policies. They need to defend the underlying principles (integration is good, diversity makes us better) rather than trying to outrun a fascist assault that will be trained on the re-brand

Disgusting - Ohio State University is dissolving its Office of Diversity & Inclusion (ODI) and its Center for Belonging and Social Change (CBSC). OSU President Carter is announcing this at the University Senate meeting happening now but ODI and CBSC employees have already received layoff notices.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

This bill still has to go through the House and get the governor’s signature, all of which is very likely. It is deeply unpopular across the state. Please help us raise hell about it.

The Indigenous People of North America have decided to go back to calling the Gulf of Mexico, “Chalchiuhtlicueyecatl”. It is what the Nahuatl People originally called it as it is the domain of the goddess Chalchiuhtlicue, who is assoc w/water bodies, including the Gulf of Mexico.

🧵"So this is how liberty dies..." Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up. I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

In response to headline “Cruz-Led Investigation Uncovers $2 Billion in Woke DEI Grants at NSF, Releases Full Database” I want to re-emphasize that all these grants were public record and written in response to public solicitations supporting DEI content. No “uncovering” or “releasing” was done here

A quick resistance task: 1. Google Gulf of Mexico 2. “Gulf of America" is the top 3. Click on the three little dots to the right of it 4. Select "Send Feedback" 5. Click on "Gulf Of America" 6. Select "Inaccurate content" 7. Select "Incorrect" and type in "The correct name is “Gulf of Mexico"

i am going to put a finer point on this: executive orders are not laws. and they certainly are not royal decrees. they are interpretations of existing law for the purposes of enforcement. the fact that so many people are treating them as laws is actually driving me a bit insane.

white scientists kept pretty quiet when the anti-DEI order went out but woke up when their livelihoods were threatened. when wlil you learn, we all stand or fall together? 🧪

DEI public favorability continues to be +19. Pundits are wrong that: 1) DEI is unpopular. It's popular. 2) This recent support is thermostatic. This is NOT thermostatic. DEI favorability has been high throughout its existence (second pic).

The UT Austin research community has been told to continue work for already-funded research supported by federal grants, in contrast to the directive at the University of Chicago. The lack of guidance at the federal level will lead to very uneven local responses.

If you live in an abortion-restricted state, order your abortion pills now. PlanCPill.org will direct you to a provider who delivers to your state. If you live in Texas, you'll need to go through AidAccess.org. Legal jeopardy is on the provider, not the recipient--for now. So order them now.

Just FYI, administrative warrants (like the ones used by ICE) are not judicial warrants (used by cops, signed by a judge). You do NOT legally have to open the door for an ICE officer with an administrative warrant no matter what the ICE officer says.
