A memo to the Education department’s Office for Civil Rights reveals that the agency will allow “only disability-based discrimination” cases to proceed. Thousands of outstanding race, gender complaints will continue to sit idle. @jsmithrichards.bsky.social @jodiscohen.bsky.social

Print some of these (which you can do at library if you don’t have a printer) and carry them with you as you run errands. If a cashier tries to make small talk, ask if they want a flier! It’s time to get busy :)

On top of all the righteous anger (and self-righteousness), is this small thread of hurt. No policy violations for me because I wasn’t invited and didn’t know it happened. www.stltoday.com/news/local/e...

ICE agents raided a local establishment in Newark, NJ, detaining undocumented residents as well as citizens, w/o producing a warrant. One of the detainees is a U.S. military veteran who suffered the indignity of having the legitimacy of his military documentation questioned. tinyurl.com/yknvcm9w

Mock this all you want but these people organize, vote, and bring casseroles when people in the group are sick or have babies. Speaking of babies, they have more than we do, homeschool, & those kids will vote one day, too. The point is… we have work to do & scoring points ain’t it.
