I don't see why the media is emphasizing the "speed" of the orders. It doesn't take much time to sign a piece of paper. What matters is the *thought* and *planning* that went into those pieces of paper *before* they were signed. And I really, really doubt they thought it through.

Here's the thing about the Tuskegee Airmen history - there was nothing in the EO about it. Someone in the Air Force interpreted it that way -- which is far worse.

A straightforward call for ethnic cleansing from the US president

The White House didn't say "stop teaching about the Tuskegee Airmen when you do US history." The White House said "stop doing DEI and wokeness," and the military interpreted it as "stop saying the Tuskegee Airmen were heroes, and maybe stop teaching about them altogether." Yeah, that's bad.

I'm not teaching my grad course 'Civil Resistance: How It Works' this semester. But here is an abridged version of the course schedule, readings, and films I used the last time I taught it (in 2022). Just in case it's useful. drive.google.com/file/d/14RRJ...

It’s fun trying to find that line between “I need to remain vigilant of the horrors afoot” and also “oh no my heart is racing and my jaw is making weird creaky sounds and I can taste pennies.”

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

Remember when time capsules were a thing? How can we create one with banned books so that future generations might get an idea of what happen to this country?

On MLK day, it’s worth remembering his warning about the threat posed by white moderates.

Why are there so many pictures of birds on my feed? It’s like a sick joke my friend played on my knowing I’m terrified of them.

"The group includes unaccompanied minors awaiting reunification with their families in the U.S. as well as Afghans at risk of Taliban retribution because they fought for the former U.S.-backed Afghan government." Wonder if GOP critics of Biden admin's Afghanistan withdrawal have thoughts on this.

When Musk denies that he did a big ol Nazi salute during the inauguration, remember this, from Jean-Paul Sartre, 1944.

Immediately stop with "he's neurodivergent he didn't know it was a nazi salute!" EVERY NEURODIVERGENT PERSON I KNOW, MYSELF INCLUDED, KNOWS WHAT THAT HAND GESTURE MEANS. And doesn't use it unless they mean to. Please be serious.

I love this so much! At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions. This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.

This is true bc 1) You cannot reason someone out of something they were not reasoned into And 2) sometimes the audience is other people, and your goal is to make some positions socially unacceptable

AOC: Trans girls are girls. And for all the folks that are so concerned, thank you for your concern for women for the first time. I don't know who has been to gym class, I’ve played co-ed sports all the time

There are lots of reasons that Hesgeth is disqualified for the role of Secretary of Defense, but his habit of calling soldiers "warfighters" like he's playing with action figures or something should be enough.
