For me, fighting fascism has nothing to do with thinking I’ll win. I don’t fight because there’s an inevitable outcome, I fight because I couldn’t live with myself if I didn’t do something.

One of my employers, University of St Thomas, announced that a federal $6.8 million grant funding scholarships for future special ed teachers has been cancelled by the Trump administration bc it is a “DEI initiative”. Students mid-program depend on those $$s, not to mention their future students.
