This absurd oversensitivity about professors having sex with minors procured for them by sex criminals shows that campus cancel culture is out of control.

One of the best things you can do right now is read books. Buy them. Borrow them from the library. Gift them.

Read history. Read fiction. Read science writing. Read anything that shows you the world is bigger than what fascists say it is.

Read to remember why your resistance matters. 📚💙

Allow me to add my voice to the chorus of commentators who believe that elected Democrats' response to Trump's blitz of lawlessness has been woefully insufficient. With some exceptions, this looks like total surrender. Embarrassing and alarming.

Federal workers are disproportionately Black. Ending DEI AND also eliminating the explicit prohibition against discrimination in hiring and in federal contracting is therefore about more than the culture wars. It, like the affirmative action ban, is about limiting opportunity for Black advancement.

Do not let them tell you what a fascist salute is. Do not let them try to parse the very obvious words of the 14th Amendment. Tell them to shut up and move on. Being drawn into debates is playing their game

If you’re in an institution doing any kind of DEI work, the most important thing to do right now is simply call it something else. Change it to “Community Outreach” & then keep on doing the same important work. When they outlaw Community Outreach rebrand it as “Strategic Partnerships,” rinse/repeat.

i just listened to senator kirsten gillibrand talk about the ERA and her efforts to press biden to amend the constitution to enshrine women’s equality. she’s just as puzzled as i am by the administration’s lack of urgency on this. www.americanprogress.org/article/what...
What Comes Next for the Equal Rights Amendment?
Three-fourths of U.S. states have ratified the amendment, and many argue it is the 28th Amendment to the Constitution; Women’s Equality Day serves as a reminder of the amendment’s importance.

South Carolina's Bill H3537 would allow the state to execute women who get an abortion.

My article below has exceeded 100K reads—& it includes the direct numbers of the 6 MAGAs who co-sponsored the bill.

The ideal Sinéad O’Connor tribute.
After performing Sinéad O’Connor’s hit “Nothing Compares 2 U” live at the #Grammys to honor the late artist, Annie Lennox ended on a political note.

“Artists for ceasefire, peace in the world,” Lennox shouted before the rest of the In Memoriam continued.
