I'm sorry but some of you are highly condescending. The very least we can do is to provide information to people about what's currently being proposed and to offer various options to push back. Marginalized people fight for their lives every single day. Always have and always will.

House Republicans just voted to gut Medicaid, which covers 1 in 5 Americans overall, including 41% of births and 63% of nursing home care. They also just voted to gut SNAP, on which 41 million food insecure Americans rely. This won’t just harm people. This will kill people. They own this.

NEW: On Section 504. "Attacks on any one group will be used as a wedge to attack all of us. You may not personally know any trans people, and you may even be uncomfortable with the idea ... but letting this attack go forward will eventually hurt you and the things you love, too." /1

Massachusetts to rename Cape Cod Bay to Gulf of Gays just to piss off republicans, probably?

Yesterday I gave a talk on the H5N1 situation in the US to our board in which I said the situation was very worrisome & pandemic risk would increase with every new human infection. I really, really hate it when my talks about pandemic risk are validated in nearly real time.

DOE is canceling already funded grants. Just found out one at UMD that started in 2022 for school administrators/leaders was pulled, with some nasty "cease and desist" language to boot. And UNF had one to pulled that was started in 2022 to build a teacher pipeline.

I remember when "What's the worst that can happen?" was a rhetorical question instead of a section of the newspaper.

I wonder how one possibly justifies any of these actions

Thou shalt not spend millions on Super Bowl ads about Jesus when you could’ve used it to feed the hungry.

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty.

Yes, nothing says "I should be in charge of honoring America's fine arts at the Kennedy Center" quite like being a low-brow philistine schmuck who broke tradition by refusing to go to the Kennedy Center to honor America's artists. I just never thought I'd see Kid Rock and Hulk Hogan get the award.

the OTHER thing about the white house’s anti-diversity push is that like old fashioned segregation it is explicitly an effort to undermine unions! like c’mon! don’t be stupid!

2025 feels like a struggling tv show grasping for ratings, like it’s just inciting incident after inciting incident after inciting incident and a new poorly written cartoonish villain that nobody asked for and every week they somehow find a more ridiculous shark to jump

Why is it everything breaks or hits when money is tight! Damn washer, car... and even the damn coffeemaker!! Which gods did we piss off? The COFFEEMAKER! UGH. At least tomorrow and Friday are pay days.

Litters changed. Got my coffee. Let's do this ... (Midnight deadline tonight)

Any university that voluntarily shutters a DEI program, office or personnel “Because of Trumps Executive Order” is making a PR decision. Not a legal one. Trumps EO does not change anti discrimination law. If anything, the EO is unlawful. Universities should treat it that way.

It is simply not enough for universities to say, “Our grants & research offices are looking into how research will be affected by the latest directive.” University leaders must actively and very publicly make the case for the kind of work many of us do. The silence on this front is deafening.

My local town subreddit has becomes a nonstop ICE resistance machine. People are posting tips, location sightings and updates all day. Attorneys are there volunteering and city councilmembers are in there helping and taking feedback on how to resist It’s beautiful.

Drawing 1 students from last class. So proud of them. #mottstudioart #Mottartanddesign #createmore #MottArt #mottdrawing #mottcommunitycollege

NEW — OMB temporarily pauses all agency grants and loans programs. Per copy of memo: "The use of Federal resources to advance Marxist equity, transgenderism, and green new deal social engineering policies is a waste of taxpayer dollars that does not improve the day-to-day lives of those we serve."

Please help out an Artist friend if you are able.

The way you all talk about red states as if nobody who lives there is marginalized is fucking gross. Fix your hearts. I have been standing up for California and chewing out *anyone* who dares to be a dick about the fires, only to come here and see you all laughing about disasters in red states.

One of the things to know about edtech is that many, many people involved in it have no experience teaching, and particularly not at the grade level the intervention is designed to target. They’re tech guys who think tech is Very Hard and teaching is a skill-free avocation for ladies.

David Attenborough voice:

Republicans: “We should all listen to our religious leaders.” Also Republicans: “Not that religious leader, she’s not a real Bishop. Deport her!” Meanwhile, Bishop Mariann Budd, born in New Jersey, has been a respected deacon and priest for decades.

"We'll get to y'all later" is just bonkers in terms of praxis and principles. I will not be a part of any revolution that throws marginalized people to the wolves. In fact, I'll fight anyone who tries.

"I have a PhD; you have Dunning-Kruger" needs to be on a t-shirt if it isn't already

The opposite of a Karen is a Carol, a 60+ woman working in customer service who gives you significant looks and nods of agreement when you say something negative about her employer and/or their products and just winks when you ask about fees.

this story more than others i’ve seen makes me think february will indeed be rocky

For the past decade we were told canceling events at colleges over private protests was the harbinger of totalitarianism but now a right wing government is doing it so it’s fine bsky.app/profile/adam...
