If you work for or have studied at any University of California campus, you are invited and encouraged to sign this letter of support for UCLA, where faculty learned yesterday that Trump illegally froze $200M in funding.

Available now! Happy publication date to @corriedecker.bsky.social, whose new book The Age of Sex is out today. Details: uwpress.wisc.edu/Books/T/The-...
At top, a banner reads "available now!" On the left, a photo of the cover of The Age of Sex. On the right, two blurbs: “Decker’s decolonial-historical analysis of the intersecting concepts of sexuality and age is a refreshing eye-opener, revealing the embeddedness of these concepts in complex cultural, economic, and political constructions coupled with racist imperial (mis)representations. It is an invitation to rethink conventional sex laws.” — Sylvia Tamale, author of Decolonization and Afro-Feminism “Decker challenges much of what we thought we knew about East African social history, asks new questions of established sources, and shifts how subsequent scholars will research African history. Highly readable and engaging.” — Brett L. Shadle, author of The Souls of White Folk: White Settlers in Kenya, 1900–1920s

Here are all the ways people are disappearing from government websites
Executive orders from President Trump have agencies across the government scrubbing websites of photos and references to transgender people, women and people of color.

"The notion that whites are suffering at the hands of Blacks in South Africa has captured international headlines for weeks now. And yet as indicated in the outlines of this story of land and poverty and racial traumas that remain unaddressed...the ghosts of apartheid roam far too freely"
On Trump and the invention of white victims in South Africa
Occasionally a display of racist violence is so brutal and grotesque that it forces South Africans to time travel.

I need y'all to sit with this headline and understand what is being done to our community. They're trying to criminalize our very existence.

This is a campaign of eradication.

www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/rcna...
"A screenshot of an NBC News article headline. The headline reads: 'Texas bill would make identifying as transgender a felony punishable by jail.' Below the headline, a subtext states: 'The bill, while unlikely to pass, highlights the increasing extremism of legislation targeting trans people, especially in Texas, in recent years.' The NBC News logo is visible at the top, along with a navigation bar that includes a 'WATCH' button and a user profile icon."

This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people.

And "accidentally"? It was stupidity, not accident. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...
