The act of deportation requires the person who is expelled to be of a foreign nationality. To be from elsewhere. They didn’t deport a US citizen. Masked criminals illegally detained, kidnapped, & trafficked a US citizen to a foreign country based on the color of their skin.
"Her family has now been told she has been deported, despite US District Judge Brendan Hurson ruling Thursday that she could not be deported pending a hearing...attorneys said Monday that they have...confirm[ed] with the hospital she was born in Maryland." https://bit.ly/3MMdJvz

Black father kills a man who tried to rape his daughter & media posts his solo mug shot.
White father murders his wife, shoots step child, kills himself, & media posts his smiling picture with family.
Make no mistake, this is how media normalizes white supremacy & extremism. We must reject it.

Strippers are now the No. 1 donor of toys to children's hospital in Portland. This year, they broke their own record

No woman I know in academia would be surprised by this, but its good to see it documented like this, I guess.
Experimental evidence that students are more likely to contest grades when they are delivered by an evaluator with a female-sounding name.
"These findings suggest that women in evaluative positions face disproportionate resistance when delivering negative assessments."

will also add - yes, this is my personal crusade - that turning podcasts into videos implicitly asks women to once again make more effort than men, as the bar for "camera-ready" for one gender is obviously higher than for the other

This means the VA won't cover abortions EVEN in the case of rape, incest, or serious threat to the health of the patient.
The DOJ memo was authored by Josh Craddock, one of the chief legal advocates for fetal personhood, i.e. imposing a nationwide abortion ban through the courts.

I really just enjoyed The Sapling Cage. Would like to read a sequel.
Just finishing reading this because of the post, and yeah, if you liked Tortall and want some T Kingfisher spookiness and pointed criticism of current BS thrown in, this is your book.
Like A Wizard’s Guide to Defensive Baking, it fits the present moment to a tee

Just started reading The Sapling Cage by Margaret Killjoy and what I can say so far is that if you loved the Tamora Pierce Tortall books and wish there was a genderswapped version by a trans woman about needing to be a girl to get trained as a witch, this could very much be the book for you
