Story time from years ago? Bar at conference, with multiple colleagues. A heated discussion ensued about being "friends" with your students, esp. grad students. I argued about the power imbalance and some were not having it. I noted well who said what that evening.

Governor Hobbs - thank you! However, AZ Republican legislators still support less state university funding...all exacerbated with Trump policies: we have lost many international students ($$ supports AZ students) and grants now have little indirect funds to support infrastructure.

Gov. Katie Hobbs is restoring $16.5 million in university funding cut as part of the state budget’s across-the-board reductions. NAU will receive about $2.5 million.

This is the most important thing men can do, and they must be doing it immediately. People create culture. People can change it. If you can't remember the last time you created some social awkwardness by telling another man to stop with that shit, you probably aren't pulling your weight.

I learned about this earlier in the year from @djinnandtonic.bsky.social who had both some amazing posts about Minnesota people using similar tactics against ICE and has shirts via www.etsy.com/shop/WideAwa.... They inspired one of my favorite protest posters.
@djinnandtonic.bsky.social-inspired protest sign of the Boston anti-man hunting league sign with ICE at the center instead of SH (slave hunter). It's a bright green circle with magenta letters: ICE in the center, surrounded by 6 letters representing people who have different roles in stopping a kidnapping, one who tries to talk the kidnapper down, 5 to grab the kidnapper if that doesn't work, and an outer circle of 12 people who create a commotion so that the kidnapper can be removed from the situation).

But far more importantly, the voters make no appearance whatsoever in Justice Alito’s reasoning. He, like the government, does not dispute that using the rule in 2026 would disenfranchise millions of our most vulnerable people. He doesn’t care. It’s despicable and antidemocratic.
