In France, high-school children are protesting to obtain better conditions for studying. The Ministry has requested that "there should be no restrictions on the use of force, and no instructions not to use all available weapons". Several children have suffered mutilations to their eyes or hands.

Neiman Marcus closed its downtown Dallas flagship on Wednesday. The store played a notable role in the history of desegregation in Dallas. Previously, Black shoppers across the US could enter department stores, but they weren't allowed to try on clothes without adhering to certain conditions. 🧵

“These cases are always treated in isolation by the media, a shocking incident, like a murder, borne of specific motivations. But they’re not like murders at all and they shouldn’t be seen as individual crimes — they’re symptomatic of a sickness in society that afflicts all countries everywhere.”

The vast majority denied SNAP are denied for procedural reasons. Even 4 in 10 of those with NO INCOME in the previous year are denied, with 80% of those denied for *procedural reasons*, or, effectively, missing paperwork. And The One Big Beautiful Bill is making this so much worse.

The person who thinks that he has the ability to decide which science to fund out of hundreds of subfields is exactly the person who should not make that decision. There is a reason that expert committees of scientists review and give recommendations for funding. No one person can know all of it.

Stories like this have, for ages, treated men's desire to harm women as a sort of background noise, a weather we just normalize and accept and try to work around. Feminism is among other things a process of denormalization.
