“This is an unprecedented overstep in authority, but instead of coming from Republicans, it’s coming from a Democrat in one of the bluest states in the country. They’re the ones that are supposed to be fighting to protect academic freedom. This is a tremendous abdication of that responsibility.”

Hi friends! A friendly reminder to consider partaking in the economic blackout tomorrow, Feb 28. Please avoid purchasing anything!

BREAKING: The full trans military ban has been released. It disqualifies from service all archive members who have of have had a history of gender dysphoria. This is a disgrace to the brave trans folks willing to sacrifice their lives to protect this country. courtlistener.com/docket/69583...

Take action against AB 1468, a deeply problematic bill designed to gut ethnic studies in California by erasing Palestine & censoring what is taught about the root causes of anti-Arab racism + Islamophobia in California public schools.  Take action: win.newmode.net/cairca/prote...

Today sitting in the knowledge that racism’s power is in its theft of time & spirit. Onwards. Thanks to all those who called Hochul’s office yesterday, please continue to do so (518) 474-8390. Together let’s insist on a world we want to live in.

The QAnon conspiracy theory that Donald Trump was fighting a satanic pedophile cabal may have faded from national discourse, but its ideology, networks, and practices have become integrated into American politics.

“But the 875 contracts on the chopping block help cover medical services, fund cancer programs, recruit doctors and provide burial services to veterans, according to internal VA documents.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

How are we all still expected to operate like business as usual while everything is burning around us?

A new McCarthy era is upon us. Stupid, depressing, and dangerous as ever. I wonder whose name will carry the dunce cap in the history books. Too many are complicit. I’ll need to find upset and action, but for now I’m feeling grief at the dehumanization inherent to all this.

All but one House Republican just voted to cut Medicaid.

BREAKING: The House passed a budget framework that would slash billions in Medicaid funding. Medicaid is a lifeline for tens of millions of Americans, including people with disabilities, women, seniors, and children. The Senate must reject these dangerous cuts.

I think my overused phrase since becoming an Assistant Professor is “that’s wild.” Because, truly, everything has been wild. 🤣😭

Finally heading home. Was in the office today from 9 am to 9 pm. Tired but inspired 😮‍💨

Another lavender scare!

I'm excited to share our new publication in Sexual and Gender Diversity in Social Services doi.org/10.1080/2993... Our primary findings showed that heterosexist discrimination was associated with increased odds of cigarette and e-cigarette use among a sample of young sexual minority men (YSMM).

starting my day with a bit of resisting, hope you will join me. #socialworksky #academicsky #resist #dosomething #resistbot

When I landed in SLC, I used the bathroom despite an anti-trans bathroom ban. Nobody cared. Nobody ever does. The truth is, whatever anti-trans laws they keep passing, nobody actually gives a damn or wants to be the bathroom police. This is the ultimate reason anti-trans hysteria will fail.

Trump’s attacks on DEI are anti-Blackness on steroids. And we’re not backing down in our pursuit of reparatory justice. My #HR40Reparations bill establishes a federal commission to develop reparations proposals for Black people harmed by slavery. www.masslive.com/politics/202...

Israel says it is expanding its military offensive across the occupied West Bank and preparing for troops to remain in some refugee camps “for the next year”.

Israel says West Bank operation will last for a year as it sends tanks to Jenin

I support adult revaccination. In fact, when I enrolled back into college, I didn't have proof of MMR vaccination... so I simply got revaccinated. Measles cases are rising in the U.S. Do adults need a vaccine booster? www.npr.org/sections/sho...

Republicans are getting rude awakenings in town halls across the United States. Here is our message:

ICPSR is making removed data available again. They're looking for BRFSS, ATUS, and YRBSS users to help with metadata efforts.

I am hoping that tenure and promotion committees will be understanding in the coming years of their expectations of securing grants from your junior tenure track faculty, especially folx that study populations & topics considered by NIH and NSF as “forbidden.”

Federal workers launch a new site to share inside information about DOGE

I know I’m too old to still be struck by this but I am just endlessly struck by the way white supremacy takes up Black and Brown aesthetics — his whole getup is so pathetically desperate, to be something he will never be

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

How do we have a CFP for SSWR 2026 already?! I haven’t recovered from SSWR 2025.

What in the absolute fuck is going on at the University of Cincinnati? For the record, trans men are just as biological as any other sort of man. They aren't made of metal or something.

Here's @bluestein.bsky.social's uncensored thread of the town hall held by Rep. Rich McCormick (R-GA), in which an unhappy audience pushes back against DOGE cuts: threadreaderapp.com/thread/18927...

He's mad his lies about Ukraine were fact-checked by his own website so he wants to change the fact-checking system

Okay so you know I like to remind everyone how the American immigration system has been cruel for a very long time. But loading people on flights to deport them to countries that they are not from, like Iranians to Panama, is not business as usual.
