Shout to my nearly 70 year old parents for going to their first protest since the era of my dad being strike decades ago. To be clear my parents made me into the leftist I am - they are just finding new ways to express it.

I know it’s been a rough couple of games Eagles fans - but as a relatively new Philly resident who grew up loving the Jets - just know it could be so, so, so much worse.

I think every University of Oklahoma student should - if they don’t know the answer to a question - just write in “Jesus is the answer” and watch them fire the faculty if you don’t get an A. What a joke of an institution.

I know I’m a few days late on this - but the news that the University of Oklahoma suspended an instructor because they failed a student for not following instructions and using the Bible as a cudgel is another line of demarcation in the rising tide of fascism.

The University of Oklahoma firing the instructor as a way to appease conservative viewpoints is a cowardly, daft, and horrendous solution, and a direct contradiction to their supposed mission.

For a college essay, it’s remedial. It’s poorly constructed; its citations are non-existent; it shows that this person does not have a clear grasp on the goals of the course. Even judging on the citations of the Bible; you would find a student not qualified for the college experience.

From law, to the humanities, to the sciences, you’re asked to use the tools of research and academia to further your claims as a part of the larger pursuit of truth. There’s also rigid standards to help students properly site and utilize prior research . This student didn’t do any of that.

You can have your personal beliefs - and even be highly influenced by theology. What the instructor was asking for was empirical evidence. We cannot accept an academic world where empirical evidence is somehow a controversial take.

Predictably, conservative media has tried to drum up a victim narrative - that somehow this perfect student was unreasonably critiqued by a trans instructor. Yet, even upon review the student failed the assignment for not following instructions. www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...

Scott Galloway’s views on masculinity are always read as some enlightened manifesto on gender theory when it’s repurposed white, male victim narratives that, in perpetuity, are used to exploit and oppress marginalized genders.

I am relieved that gay marriage wasn’t challenged and reminded of Sylvia Rivera making her speech at the Gay Liberation March on the first anniversary at Stonewall. Do not forget that trans people are still being actively targeted. Do not let the continued violence against trans women go unchecked

Every time I think about how bad our health system is and how much worse it can get under this cartoon administration I think back to the fact that we would’ve had a public option and better healthcare deliveries if it wasn’t for Joe Lieberman May he forever rot

While out voting today in South Philadelphia I observed four PPA agents ticketing people pulling up to vote. This is an issue. This is a poll tax in a majority Black and brown area. #pennsylvaniaelections @governor.pa.gov

Higher Education will give awards for overtly complex analysis and writing about marginalized communities they actively police, discipline, and actively not allow into their walls. The hypocrisy is almost unreal.

Let’s be clear, most EBT users are white. The reason he’s specifically lying about “weaves” and we’ve seen so many AI fakes of Black women ranting about food stamps is they need to make BW the face EBT because they know many Americans don’t care if Black people suffer, and some actually wish for it.

This is heartless, abusive, and downright cruel. To all the Democrats who sold out trans people to capitulate to this brand of bigoted politic - the children and families who will inevitably suffer because of this is on your hands.

I keep seeing people say, oh, trans people must take a hit for the greater good and, first of all, no, you don't get to discard someone else's rights and second, we know from past experience that marginalized communities like theirs are merely the first to be targeted. They'll come for you next.

Depending how long this goes, the impacts will be devastating. It is imperative that we continue to sounds every alarm and support the community in any way possible. Ask your local shops if they can set up systems of paying it forward and buy others food, donate to food banks, do something

We are days away from millions of folks losing their access to food. Please be aware this will play out in several ways. 1. Overwhelming of support services in the community 2.Rising theft of food and subsequent over policing 3. Rising debt collection, predatory lending, and repossession.

Any Democratic leader selling out trans people for supposed centrist votes is not only trash, but also just a run of mill transphobe. These daft takes negate the fact that someone like Zohran can build a wide coalition and be very explicit about protecting marginalized people.
