Today would have marked 52 years of Roe as the law of the land. But Donald Trump packed the Supreme Court with anti-abortion extremists to get it overturned. This week, he cut off access to reproductiverights.gov. We must keep fighting for women’s rights.

New: Trump officials have paused all external communications at health agencies like CDC, FDA, NIH. No health alerts and the famed MMWRs; no updates to key websites or social media posts. And no indication how long the pause will last. With @rachelroubein.bsky.social + Lena Sun.

One thing before tomorrow: Use your local libraries. Get your card. Borrow books, manga, films, audios, ebooks. Recommend titles for purchase (usually online). Attend promoted activities. Fill out those "How are we doing?" questionnaires. Tell your kids that libraries are good. They are. 📚

Ok #booksky, let’s talk. 👎🏼Goodreads, owned by Amazon, fuels its monopoly on books. 👍🏼StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform, offers an ethical, ad-free alternative with mood-based recommendations, user control over data, and a focus on inclusivity. Support diversity over corporate power!

For those feeling hopeless and too young to recall, this is exactly the kind of story that proliferated when Ronald Reagan swept into office and then in his second term too. It was exhausting and gross at the time, an orgy of celebration of the very rich: www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

the attack on humanities/social science education, courses, and departments, the removal of books from K-12 libraries, and the rush to AI-ify higher ed all have the same outcome. It's different ways to neutralize knowledge, whether by erasing it or turning it all into bland porridge.

Costco has said repeatedly that diversity makes them money. In this Costco is unique. Not that diversity makes companies stronger and better - there's a ton of data on this. But that they aren't so racist that they're willing to leave money on the table to be racist.
