Hey remember that time a bunch of losers got mad at a lady who made a video game about depression and it led to several thousand federal employees losing their jobs

Every faculty who supported police on campus, every one who refused to sign letters of support for their brutalized students: you laid the bricks for politicians to believe they have the authority to crush student voice. Your racism against Palestine is corroding everyone's freedoms.

I've talked about this elsewhere, as have others, but THIS is why Trump and all of the others are trying to make their moves through (illegal, overreaching) executive orders: They can't actually pass this hate as legislation. Here, the anti-trans sports bill was stopped in its tracks.

Zelenskyy stayed in Kyiv while Russia was bombing the city and sending in hit squads to kill him. J.D. Vance fled to an undisclosed location because some peaceful protesters yelled at him while he was on vacation. This is why I believe victory over these people is still possible.

I hope what people are taking away from the "sex chats" is that your affinity groups at work are not safe and you should not use work chat to discuss anything personal ever.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

This is a stunning betrayal by Whitman Walker in DC. You CANNOT jettison the trans community to protect yourself. It’s shameful. I got my name changed at WWH. I have promoted their research. Now they are capitulating to save gay people at trans people’s expense by trying to erase us.

BREAKING: Federal judge temporarily blocks Trump administration from implementing anti-trans Trump orders that would stop trans-related medical care in federal prisons and lead to trans inmates’ transfers. This followed a hearing in DC earlier today. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

If you cannot call it what it is when all in a week: a government removes every mention of a group of people, destroys information about them en masse, bans their discussion in schools, restricts their ability to travel and starts seizing and refusing their official identification, when will you?

Trump is unconstitutionally freezing federal funds that Congress sent our constituents and dismantling the democratic system. This isn't business as usual—Congress needs to stop it. I will not support any Trump nominee who will do his illegal bidding. I urge my colleagues to join.

For various reasons this upsets me more than some other recent instances of official transphobia. We can't let book culture be taken over by the same people who are trying to ban books. We just can't.

Yep. This also explains the bizarre focus on linguistic changes. A wealthy, middle-aged political pundit cannot imagine being forced to move states to access HRT but he can imagine someone scolding him about misusing they/them pronouns. It's anxiety and animosity all the way down.

A struggle for me at work is finding trans people or parents of trans youth willing to speak out publicly against bans on their health care because many have faced death threats, doxxing, and targeted persecution by state officials after doing so. Their speech never seems to be mourned like this.

When talking about standing up to admin, glossing over the differences in precarity between librarians, library staff, and tenured faculty does not help. Get in there, folks with tenure.

Cornell PhD student Momodou Taal attended a pro-Palestine protest of a campus job fair where weapons manufacturers were recruiting. Out of more than 100 participants, he appears to be the only one suspended by the university—and it could cost him his visa.
