If you don’t accept my 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼 family and friends, fuck off. And if you voted for that bigot Trump…that tells me you approve of that racist behavior. So again, fuck off.

I’m increasingly irritated with academics who’ve never studied the Middle Ages yet make claims about the period & tell me their “knowledge” is accurate because, well, they just think it is. They can’t support anything they say with evidence/research and claim “some academics think”. Infuriating! 😡

U.S. President Trump said that the United States would stop all aid to Nigeria and possibly "go into that now-disgraced country, guns a-blazing," if the African country did not stop the killing of Christians.

Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to our analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%.

(Published February)

Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared.

ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis is the most detailed look yet into a rise in life-threatening complications for women experiencing pregnancy loss under Texas’ abortion ban.

Trump is on live TV saying he wants to rig elections so Democrats can’t return to power. The most corrupt, anti-American administration in our history.

Trump: "They're gonna make DC a state and they're gonna make Puerto Rico a state. So now they pick up two states, four senators. They're gonna pick up electoral votes. It's gonna be a very, very bad situation. Now, if we do what I'm saying, they'll most likely never obtain power."

Trump seems even more unhinged than usual in these new videos. The transition at the 40-second mark alone is just bizarre: "Leave them alone! WARNING!"

He's shouting and almost slurring his words, to say nothing of the fact that he's threatening to start a new war against Nigeria.

Even this liar doesn’t believe this. Even Trump doesn’t believe this. He shows how much contempt he has for American voters every single day with these pathetic lies. This after claiming 8 million people at No Kings were paid protestors. He isn’t fooling anyone with this BS. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

Johnson: What happened last night was blue states and blue cities voted blue. We all saw that coming. No one should read too much into last night's election results. Off year elections are not indicative of what's to come. That’s what history teaches us.

I gave a campus talk last night on Trump's first 100 days for the WUD Society & Politics group. A student asked me if I thought that, at some point, we might start to describe the US as a competitive authoritarian regime. I said that we were already there, it's just that most folks haven't noticed:
