THIS! This situation is the perfect instance of WHY PEOPLE DO NOT TRUST HIGHER EDUCATION. Women’s lives are being destroyed, ruined, torn to shreds, but sweep it under the rug and compartmentalize it because the institutions have an agenda.

People lament the lack of trust the far right has sown against higher education, but those of us who work in it need to contend with the fact that their project was successful because of shit like Cornell threatening to expel protestors while making gang rapists write essays.

The actual problem this uncovers is that only 5 trans children feel comfortable and safe playing sports.

Can’t get the media to ascribe agency to politicians when they lie, but perfectly willing to ascribe agency to a machine when it kind of sucks at what it’s supposed to do.

Liberals utterly defeated by any fascist crank who declares some some policy in their “destroy everything” strategic plan to be “common sense.” As soon as they do it, liberals fall over themselves to agree with it in their blind panic to be seen as the Sensible Adults in the room.

I don't think it should be controversial to say, "we will not provide financial or military assistance to a country where the Minister of National Security brags about popping people's dreams of 'food' and 'education' then sending them to a prison where they are starved."

When I was coming back to my Christian faith, I was lost as to what that could possibly look like as an unapologetic queer uninterested in the hate spewed by my fellow Christians. Truly, Dolly Parton was one person I looked to for a model of the kind of Christian I wanted to be. I’m very grateful.

-why is it the ONLY unforgivable sin?" And then she told me, "I finally figured it out. The Holy Ghost is that part of God that lives in everybody, and the way you sin against it is by not loving everybody with all your heart, for exactly who they are."

See the thing about transphobes is it’s honestly not just that they hate trans women, they really don’t like any women at all.

Folks like this have to say some types of reading aren’t actually reading (???) because it’s still socially unacceptable in polite circles to say what they really mean about women and their interests.

I just subscribed because I appreciate people covering these issues in a way that’s researched, holds power accountable, and meets this moment in history, but isn’t in the business of scaring people for clicks. Really important stuff.

Last time I called the police it was because my ex-husband was threatening to harm me while I’ve was trying to pack my things to flee, and they threatened to arrest me for stealing “his” stuff.

To a hammer everything looks like a nail etc, but I do think that gender is the first and primary hierarchical division of human beings, and that much of the passion of the transphobic project comes from transphobes (correctly) assessing trans people’s threat to all other hierarchies.

If you wanted to kill the American university system, one thing you could do is hold it responsible for decisions made by other people who are ideologically invested in its failure.

The third act of A Christmas Carol, one of the most famous examples of "don't die a dickhead, " was the ghost showing Scrooge how happy everyone was that he died and it was a big motivator for him to stop being a piece of shit and still we got a bunch of dickhead Dems talking up Lindsey Graham

Platner is leaving the race as he would have governed: motivated by bitter resentment and without a whiff of authentic regard for his constituents or the country as a whole.

perhaps we should view nazi tattoos as disqualifying from here on out. i kind of assumed we'd already view them as disqualifying but was unpleasantly surprised so maybe from here we could all agree not to downplay nazi tattoos since they seem pretty indicative of broad disregard for human dignity

It’s a pretty weird week when a guy who wants to be a trillionaire is simultaneously getting headlines for the economy-shattering IPO expected Friday and the racist pogroms he is accused of stoking — but these stories are viewed as separate and in no way connected or prescient of the future.

I work helping people learn how to teach in higher education and I just watched 1/3 of my team get laid off after our campus went ALL IN ON AI and I’m going to bite the next person who says “vibesession” to me. I’m not sure how to give them tetanus but I’m going to try

The Roberts court would like you to present a case allowing them to construe the right to vote as belonging only to landowning white men, if you have one ready. They appear to be taking clients.

What is so maddening about this to me is it frames the “economy” as something like an entity to be nurtured for its own sake, rather than a sack of measurements acting as a proxy for a society’s material wellbeing. If the society tells you it’s not feeling well, then the economy is not doing well.

MTG is politically irredeemable, Platner is unfit for office. No reasonable definition of leftism, justice, and love for neighbor provides space for antisemitism in public life.

After Trump's latest genocidal utterances, I'm posting this again from Anaïs Nin’s diary from 1939-1944: “America is in even greater danger because of its cult of toughness, its hatred of sensitivity, and someday it may have to pay a price for this, because atrophy of feeling creates criminals”.

Jews are targeted in shuls & online. Brown & Black people are abducted and sent to concentration camps. Muslims are openly targeted by politicians. Activists & journalists are targeted by the FBI. Trans & queer people are being outlawed. We are in this together. This is why solidarity matters.

What pisses me off most about this is the “vote blue no matter who” contingent who screamed for years about needing to compromise in order to prevent Bush from dismantling democracy, is now insisting I must compromise and vote for Bush’s policies in order to prevent Trump from dismantling democracy.

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.
