If you’re a Dem elected and you’re not mentioning the massive cuts to cancer cure and social security funding in every public appearance you’re just not doing your job.

None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

Thanks @jean23bean.bsky.social for visiting us at Toronto Sociology this week to speak about suspect citizenship! The room was completely full and we had to even add a couple of chairs to accomodate all the interest in hearing about this important work. Excited to follow this project!! #Socsky

Pulitzer Feeling Increasingly Out Of Place In Washington Post Office

I wrote a piece for @sciam.bsky.social about why White parents should be talking to their kids about race and racism. It was so great to work with @megha.bsky.social on this piece! Please share! www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-...

The attacks on DEI are a pretext for a much more radical agenda of reversing the gains of the civil rights movement, an objective the Trump administration is pursuing with zeal. A Great Resegregation. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

With due respect, Senator, federal employees are not “his staff.” The whole damned problem here is that federal employees in no legal sense report to Elon Musk.

This drives me nuts. Do not comply in advance ppl! Executive orders are NOT laws: dailynorthwestern.com/2025/02/23/c...

Sage wisdom from two experienced legal aid attorneys. In any interaction with police or law enforcement, including ICE: “Shut the f*ck up.”

Every day it’s like “we’re getting rid of a highly qualified woman or minority or disabled person and replacing them with a white guy who majored in skull measuring.”

Trump Claims He Can Overrule Constitution With Executive Order Because Of Little-Known ‘No One Will Stop Me’ Loophole

You cannot determine whether you saved or cost money based solely on one side of the ledger. Example: I saved my household $2K by not paying the mortgage.

Trump Wants to Destroy All Academia, Not Just the Woke Parts www.nytimes.com/2025/02/14/o...

My latest in @theguardian.com argues that Trump’s obsession with immigration is an obsession with it as a tool of segregation and white supremacy, which is how it has long been used in the United States. www.theguardian.com/us-news/comm...

I resent the bad actors of this era for forcing me to live in a nightmarish reality where I have to make phone calls.

i wrote about the NYT's latest op-ed on birthright citizenship: why it's stupid, and why its implications are bigger than one clause

Greta Thunberg doesn’t have my bank routing information

FYI CUNY faculty: Public Safety should prevent ICE from entering campus unless they have a warrant. If they have a warrant Public Safety are to escort ICE to that campus' Legal Counsel, who will call CUNY Central Legal Office, who will call NYS Attorney General. ICE should NEVER enter a class.
