It’s Black Maternal Health Week, & guess what? Abortion bans hitting Black communities the hardest isn't a coincidence—it's by design. Black birthing people face the highest maternal mortality AND the most barriers to abortion care. Fighting for abortion access IS fighting for Black maternal health

I spent a decade studying kids' help-seeking. So, I can tell you that if a child asks their teacher to call them something other than what's on file, it's because that child fundamentally trusts that teacher. And, I'm appalled that a teacher would be fired for inspiring that kind of trust.

This is why those that have tenure or are otherwise in a relatively safe position should be using their influence to not only protect their coworkers that are at risk, but also stand up for what's right and protect their students.

Moving a class online is simple and likely set up as an option, especially after covid. Forbidding professors from choosing to move a class online is siding with facism.
This is absolutely disgraceful. The university should be doing everything they can to help students learn in a safe environment.

Can I get a few of these made for ohio?

This is a good read, but I do question "non-idealogical" when we are seeing common threads of religion and white supremacy.

Reminder that the Amazon boycott has begun today and it lasts through March 14th. Shop local wherever possible and avoid buying anything from Amazon.

NEW: The NIH is canceling grants for research about trans people, saying that work "based on gender identity is often unscientific." At least a half-dozen grants have been canceled, according to letters I reviewed. "It hurts my heart," one scientist told me.

This is absolutely vile. The US would effectively become a mercenary state.

US creates unstable governments causing mass unrest, riots, and war. Then force countries to pay exorbitant fees for protection. Rinse and repeat. Is this not the strategy of gangs? "Protection money"?

This is exactly the response Canada should be taking to the ridiculous tariffs. Hopefully these companies will put pressure on the US administration to end the tax war.

This war will only hurt those struggling the most.

If you care about fanfiction or fanart the SCREEN ACT will 100% apply to you. AO3 would be gutted (or we see americans unable to access it)

I was told yesterday there will be no tariffs on a Ford because they are assembled in Dearborn. Don’t be fooled people. The BBC diagram below shows how just one engine component, assembled within the engine in the US, actually crosses 25% tariff lines twice. Prices will go up folks.

People need to understand that #MEASLES is not just the most contagious… it *wipes out immune memory.* All other immunities you have built up, by #vaccine or otherwise? Poof. You are as vulnerable as a newborn. Maybe more so.

This is a blatant violation of the 1st Amendment but a lot of cowards in academia will use this as an excuse to crack down on campus protest.

Today, in a meeting at the White House, the only person actually defending American interests was Zelenskyy.

Let that sink in.

Under fascism, no one is safe.

Universities stayed quiet as the admin targeted DEI & foreign aid, censored research, etc.

Now, they face devastating cuts to indirect cost rates, threatening research & operations.

Silence won’t protect institutions. It won’t protect people; it never does.
