This is a reminder that the fraternity system was created to oppose race and gender integration on college campuses. White men who wanted to keep their schools—and all the power that comes with college education—to themselves. It is not a coincidence that they are hotbeds of violence.

#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 1951: The Sojourners for Truth and Justice begin a three-day assembly in Washington, D.C., with a march and silent vigil on the White House lawn. More than 132 Black women from 14 states arrived in the capital to demand federal action against racial terror. /1
Members of the Sojourners for Truth and Justice gather during their initial mobilization, Sept. 29 to Oct. 2, 1951. More than 132 African American women from 14 states descended on the nation’s capital to demand an end to racial violence, Jim Crow laws and the systemic oppression of Black women. While the poor quality of the photo makes it difficult to pinpoint every face from left to right, several core organizers and notable figures are prominent in the center-front cluster: Louise Thompson Patterson, Charlotta Bass, Shirley Graham Du Bois and Eslanda Goode Robeson. Other trailblazing figures who participated in the Washington, D.C., delegation included legendary activist Mary Church Terrell, journalist Claudia Jones and a young Lorraine Hansberry, who read the group’s manifesto aloud during the convention.

It’s death by a thousand paper cuts. They’ll say they’re not cutting the *program*, just removing it from the core, and then when enrollment plummets they’ll use that as the rationale for getting rid of it. It’s an old playbook. An old, disgusting playbook. #academicsky

Again, bigots will never choose bigotry-lite over the real thing. You're not going to win them but you're going to drive away people who otherwise would have voted for you. And this year -- when voters most of all want "a fighter" in Congress -- running ads about how you will not fight is idiotic.

Trans rights is inherently a bodily autonomy issue. Just like abortion rights is. We can't have gender equity or reproductive freedom without trans rights. Full stop. You can yell at me and make up shit that you claim I've said if it makes you feel better. I don't care. I'm right. And you know it.

Cis people do not understand how much trans people's rights have regressed in just 5 years. 5 years ago, there were none of these restrictions. 19 states banned legal recognition 21 states have bathroom bans 8 states ban gender marker changes on DLs 25 ban gender affirming care for trans youth
