The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

It's so continually frustrating how people continue to misunderstand right wing thinking. Almost every formulation of the social media gotcha "it's so wild how X when Y" is really just another way to say "I've never tried to understand the way these people think."

This is, btw, right out of the Nazi playbook to dehumanize people and give them a permission structure to hate.

Not a single disabled person I know would be surprised by this: the parents, families and friends of disabled people often are the very people who traumatize us, who present us as "burdens" and worse. Proximity to a disabled person means nothing.

One reason among many it's clear so many are not equipped for the moment is how often I'm still seeing people invoke the movie Idiocracy to describe this moment in time. If we can't even leave eugenics behind how are we supposed to get anywhere?

This article lays it out plainly. There's nothing to repeal. Costco doesn't have a DEI program. It doesn't have a diversity policy. It simply doesn't use discriminatory hiring practices. These AGs are in hysterics bcuz Costco refuses to segregate its business.

This enrages me beyond words. As my colleague Scott Kelley rightly put it - “Projected cost is $12/month per user For 500,000 CSU users, that's $6 million/month or $72 million per year. looks like we may have a 2-year contract. That's 480 faculty jobs at 100K salaries and 50K benefits.”

DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS: they are using #DEI the way #Nazis used ‘un-German.’ When the right says DEI what they mean is ‘the other’ and that’s how they target immigrants, women, people of color, Jews, #LGBTQ, ♿️, and anyone who supports or protects the vulnerable and marginalized. WE ARE AT WAR already
