The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

I really wish that organizations like @aclu_nationwide would stop sending vulnerable people to fill out forms at links at the domain office.com. I just saw another form on office forms from a Washington State commission asking LGBTQ people to tell them about concerns. This is not safe. 1/

A friend of mine made this, and I've had the audio on repeat for 30 minutes. It's so soothing. Take a deep breath. Read the words the first time through, at least, if you can. And then let yourself rest for just a moment. youtube.com/shorts/__mp7...

I just got served an ad that said, "Women? They have choice here. Vote for your state to join Canada." Now I'm wondering if that was a quality troll by a Canadian org (or government), or if it was a campaign phishing for the PII of people who don't like the current US administration. Thoughts?

I’m sad to learn that my law school classmate, Kiah Duggins, died in the DC plane crash last night. Kiah was an exceptionally talented civil rights lawyer and aspiring legal scholar. I hope you’ll read about her work and the causes she cared about, some of which I’ll 🧵 below. What an immense loss

3yo: Sabba, why do you have to be in class? Me: Because I'm a student. 3yo: laughs No! Grown-ups aren't students!! Me: Yes, for real, I am a student. 3yo: No. You're not supposed to be a student. You're supposed to hang out with kids and we can learn things together.

Trump's military ban states that being trans is against "a soldier's commitment to an honorable, truthful, & disciplined lifestyle." Along with characterizing trans people as disabled & trans related healthcare as mutilation ...that means they are getting ready to lock us up. That isn't hyperbole.

I'm a conversation with a friend about everything that's going on in the federal government. My own mind went to thinking that folks should take steps like removing pronouns from their emails and other visible things like that. She reminded me of the folly of preemptively complying with their agenda

I spoke to a talented junior scientist who just got a good faculty job offer in the US and they told me “well I wouldn’t move to 1930s Germany either” so that’s how that’s going

Learn from history. We say never again, but the reality is that yes, again and again. And yet, it is possible to resist. It is possible to act from the outside and the inside to stop evil. Resistance: They Fought Back | PBS search.app/k794rMdttZaj...

UPDATE: Secret Service agents — not ICE — were denied entry at a Chicago school despite initial CPS reports, a CPS source said. Secret Service agents were looking for an 11-year-old who posted an anti-Trump video, the source said. https://buff.ly/3EatFDz

One foot in front of the other. We've got work to do. Life got a lot harder for many of us this week. Lemme be real honest: I'm scared to name the things that affect me directly. In about two weeks I will either celebrate having dodged one of those bullets or I will be talking to lawyers. 1/
