With the NIH cuts, there’s no longer any excuse for any professor, in any discipline, to not address the moment in their classes. You don’t even have to be “political” if that’s how you roll; this changes everything. You need only observe reality. 1/

For those in power, when our #democracy is destroyed, you don't get to blame it on #DEI, #transgender youth, or #immigrants. It's your cowardly inaction that is allowing this. "You've done enough. Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?" Joseph Welch

Staff at CDC are being asked to scrub data on trans and non-binary folks from datasets. Public health ethics hold us to the highest ethical, professional, and scientific standards. Deleting data about Americans is unethical. OPM has ZERO authority over CDC practices. Obey the law. 🇺🇸🏛️⚖️

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

Public health relies on truth. The removal of resources for #LGBTQIA+ people undermines decades of research & progress. This is an attack on the integrity of #publichealth itself. #Science serves the public only when it is free from political censorship. Public health must include the entire public.

i think one of the reasons het/straight trans women discourse keep popping up is that we're overfitting a very real very powerful social force to our specific experience of it, namely : The Body Of A Tranny Belongs To Everyone But Herself 🧵🧵🧵

Do one thing every day to help someone currently in harms way. Learn how to identify and protect neighbours from ICE agents. Stand up for the LGBTQ+ community. Wear a mask in solidarity with the disabled community. Learn about anti-Blackness and commit to doing better. Don’t let hate win.

1/ 🧵 I’ve been getting a lot of worried questions about the deluge of executive orders targeting trans people. I wanted to share my thoughts publicly, because I know this moment feels heavy. That's by design.

If your response when people are killed by someone driving thru a celebrating crowd is to opportunistically make up facts about the driver to further your preexisting prejudices, instead of mourn the dead, your indifference to the lives of those killed means you have much in common with that driver.

Donald Trump sold bibles. Jimmy Carter followed one. Trump cheated on all his wives. Carter only had one & was faithful. Donald Trump spent his post-presidency selling garbage like gold shoes and trading cards with AI images of himself. Jimmy Carter helped build homes for those without shelter.

CNN is hopelessly broken. 1. This "expansion" would require military invasions of several allies in violation of international law. 2. It would violate several treaties. 3. The Louisiana Purchase was the sale of land by a colonial power (France). These are sovereign nations.

"One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion. So now people assume that religion and morality have a necessary connection. But the basis of morality is really very simple and doesn't require religion at all." Arthur C. Clarke

You're going to die one day. What do you want to leave behind in this world? Do you want people to remember you as a force for unity? For compassion? For care? Or do you want be known for arguing over stupid junk with wolves at the gate? None of us knows how long we have. Consider your legacy.
