I had put away the essentialism/constructionism feminist thinking from the 80s and 90s, but given the massive return of biologism across many domains—sports, foreign aid, popular culture, medicine—I’m glad those earlier tools still exist.

Too many people remain comfortable with the bureaucratic arm of immigration enforcement and all its quieter violence.

It can’t be that the response to the fascism unleashed upon immigrants is dependent on individual victims getting notice and represented by congress people who advocate on their behalf. What about all those, the majority who don’t get noticed in that way? Something more radical is called for. Tired.

By all means, fight it in the courts, but the major news outlets also have the resources to tell the truth, unflinchingly, about the current administration without access to the circus press conferences. Whether they do now or ever remains up to them.

As someone who JUST finished his fourth rabies vaccine last week, the CDC language around it has been troubling ("too many people wasting resources etc."). Also, make it more affordable, jeez.

I am sorry to say this but the El-Sayed response is inadequate too. Speak directly in support of peoples lives, all peoples lives. These little games of so called pragmatic obfuscation is what has helped to get us where we are. Stand up for something. Stand up for life. All lives.

If the “Justice Department” is bullying election officials over “Noncitizen Voting,” they shld provide evidence of such voting. Of course, they can’t, because it doesn’t exist. Bullying is their only move & their target list is lengthening: universities, journalists, private citizens and more.
