DJT & JDV are attacking U.S. universities -undermining ability of institutions to teach & research. Not just about dismantling diversity, equity & inclusion, but also defunding the important and life saving research our public institutions perform for broader society. www.cnn.com/2025/03/16/p...

Just a reminder to people of color and also those with differing abilities (and those whose identities overlap) - we DO NOT have to justify our existence. We DO NOT have to engage. We DO have to take care of ourselves mentally, emotionally, and physically. Sending lots of love 💜

“How people who are underpaid or unemployed are unable to pay for city services that corporations & millionaires should be paying for with their taxes. But aren’t because of loopholes.” There. Fixed the title (for free). @nytimes.com

1 in 10 people booked into jail are 55 years+ The graying of the US carceral system is extremely alarming. Most older adults are arrested for low-level, non-violent offenses like trespassing, driving offenses, and disorderly conduct www.prisonpolicy.org/blog/2024/11/2…

Banning homeless camping is the stupidest policy response to addressing housing, mental health, employment, & substance needs. And then adding criminal attachment & fines??? Where is the common sense?

Have you ever attended a research talk & cried? I accidentally did today. A student in the Q&A -boldly & vulnerably- told the candidate that she saw herself in her, that she, a Black woman, inspired her with her research and engagement in the real world. #RepresentationMatters 💜💜💜 #KamrynSMorris
