Going to college at a public university in the state of Ohio is now a waste of your time, money, soul, and brain. You can't even teach like elementary level history according to this bill. "Controversial beliefs" such as climate policies, electoral politics, foreign policy, marriage!

A teacher in Idaho has been told to remove posters reading "Everyone is welcome here" - specifically because it features different skin tones. As I wrote last week, this is a global political movement that has explicitly set the goal of eradicating the very concept of equality.

This is the biggest danger of Trump's EOs. They are not law, and yet Denver Health is complying in advance, ending all trans surgeries under 19 years of age, including chest masculinization - a rare, but much needed surgery for some trans teens. www.9news.com/article/news...

The US government, like others around the world, are laundering their fascist politics through the claim of “fighting gender ideology.” Their political goal is to enforce a conservative social order by erasing trans people, trashing migrants, and controlling women’s bodies. We must resist this.

Sign languages (here ASL) are not the same thing as closed captioning. There is nothing "wild" here, unless you take this rufo who seems to live in an uninformed bubble spouting off on topics he clearly knows nothing about to be wild.

The six biggest banks in the U.S. have quit the Net Zero Banking Alliance just before Trump's inauguration. The alliance was formed with the goal of cutting greenhouse gas emissions. Let this serve as another reminder that so-called “corporate social responsibility” is a sham.
