To me, this is not about knowing what is or being "right", but I've always taken it as what we should do when it comes to injustice.
We have come to far to turn back now. We leave in a great country & we can continue on the path to making it better for all, not just the few.

I got that question from my graduate advisor during our first phone conversation because I said KY. Then I explained I spent my first 7 years in central OK. He said he thought so because he was from west TX. Yep, a rivalry & dear friendship was born!

Rep. Underwood is someone I have been following since she got elected. While folks talked about the Squad (AOC, Tlaib, Omar, Pressley) & worked to demonize them, she was not included & just did the work with flash & publicity. Still wish she was my rep!

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

I keep saying to folks, when he is in this office, time just seems to go haywire. It has been 10+ years since first hearing about Trump's healthcare plan. Well, hearing that he said he has a plan, to be correct technically.

As @queenofthesouth.bsky.social & others have pointed out, their answer really is Sen. Mark Kelly et al. were trying to "intimidate" the active service members by reminding them of their oath & to follow the law. That is what they are going with on this one?
If the orders are legal, why intimidate?

One of the obstacles I have faced in discussing "privilege" with students, family/friends, even colleagues who study similar concepts in social psych has been the "I face struggles, too" pushback. I point out that privilege is not "everything is perfect". /1
