My new publication, “Biopower,” in The SAGE Encyclopedia of Crime and Gender examines the criminal justice system as a gendered—and gendering—structure, including how institutions regulate bodies and populations through power. Read it here: sk.sagepub.com/ency/edvol/t...

Anthropic's warning about AI representing "catastrophic or existential risks to humanity" while filing their IPO is like saying "We helped create a pandemic that could one day kill us, but please give us money so we can bring you even more of this."

Jack Smith has shown more courage and patriotism than the Republican Party and tens of millions of Trump's followers. Of course, that dedication to honesty makes Smith another "enemy of the American people" as Trump likes to say about those who hold him accountable. We should all be like Jack Smith.

Desperate Donny is the only one on the list to have been impeached twice, to be a convicted felon, to have committed treason, to liken himself to Jesus and the Pope, and to have been declared unfit by thousands of psychiatrists.

For the confused: Everything in red is outside of U.S. jurisdiction and any intervention, interference, expansionism, or acts of aggression or war in these lands by the U.S. is illegal under international law.

The Trump administration should prove that felon Trump is innocent of treason, insurrection, and sedition or he should be removed and imprisoned immediately.

Even if they hurt our country, and they did (including me), they still deserve basic decency and humanity. Anything else and we become like those we oppose--and lose ourselves and what we stand for in the process.

Was happy following @mrsbettybowers.bsky.social until this insensitive and callous joke at McConnell's expense. If Trumpers said this about Obama, Biden, RBG, or others, there would be justified outrage.

I'd think that a self-proclaimed "very stable genius" who literally tried to steal the vote through insurrection, treason, and repeated illegal election interference could come up with something better than "dumocrats."

Moments Worth Celebrating: May 30, 2024: Donald Trump is convicted on all 34 counts in a scheme to illegally influence the 2016 presidential election through a hush money payment to porn actor Stormy Daniels, making Trump the first former U.S. president in history to be convicted of felony crimes.

Mentally decaying man-child Trump claimed to be a very stable genius and that's the best he could come up with? I've known six year olds who could do better.

Trump is a convicted criminal. Melania entered the U.S. illegally. Calling immigrants violent criminals is racist stereotyping. Trump's crimes and illegal war are endangering America. ICE is committing terrorism. Trump's propagandist statements are admissions of guilt.

Trump is inciting violence against the entire Democrat party again. This is a crime, and we saw what happens on Jan. 6.

He keeps signing his posts "thank you for your attention." That's what this is really about. Trump just wants attention. Campaigning for a Nobel, trying to get his birthday turned into a holiday, the illegal war, disrespecting Mueller... Desperate Donny just wants attention.

Mueller wasn't a rapist and he didn't commit illegal acts of war, use the military to commit terrorism, incite insurrection, enable our enemies despite their acts of war against us, and didn't kill innocent people. That was all convicted felon Donald Trump.

Dr. DaShanne Stokes @dashannestokes.com · 21/03/2026

A Republican blocked the House vote to release the Mueller report. A GOP strategist admitted to colluding with Russia. The GOP blocked efforts to protect Mueller. The Republican president hid his taxes, fired investigators, and tried to fire Mueller. What is the GOP hiding?

27289114

Dr. DaShanne Stokes @dashannestokes.com · 21/03/2026

This from convicted felon Trump, who repeatedly interfered in his own investigation by attempting to have Mueller fired because illegal interference into an investigation is clearly what you do when you're "innocent." Disgusting.

There's a reason why Trump's ICE Gestapo are attacking immigrants and people of color, why David Duke said that he and Trump share the same message, why the KKK celebrated Trump's election, why Trump uses a KKK slogan, and why the KKK have used Trump's name in their recruitment flyers.

At least 40 people have been killed by ICE and Border Patrol or otherwise died in their custody since Trump took office in 2025. Say their names.

Maniac Trump is literally blaming others for his imperialist war-mongering, not unlike how rapists and murderers often blame their victims. Not coincidentally, Trump is also a rapist as has ordered mass murders.

Imperialist manchild Trump clearly thinks he is political Jesus. The 25th Amendment should have been invoked a long time ago.

Trump never came out and said it, but his message to the prime minister of Norway makes it crystal clear: Trump's quest for "peace" comes with a gun to everyone's heads.
