"'It’s not as if men’s sport is getting 10% more of the funding than women’s sport,' says Mumford. 'It’s usually 90% of funding.' Imagine how much better women athletes could perform if they were given access to the degree of training and resources those dollars can buy." via @themeteor.bsky.social

@gloriasteinem.bsky.social is well into her 10th decade—and still leading us forward 🎉 You can celebrate by supporting Gloria's Foundation, which Steinem has established to (among other things) help turn NYC into a lasting "sanctuary for the feminist movement." www.gloriasfoundation.org/donation

A photo of Gloria Steinem sitting on a couch and looking straight into the camera. Yellow text has a quote from her which reads "Women may be the one group that grows more radical with age." More yellow text reads "happy birthday, Gloria Steinem. 91 years radical!"

"You can’t rewrite a statute with a Sharpie,” says Amalea Smirniotopoulos of the NAACP’s Legal Defense Fund on Trump's DEI orders. Denying someone a job on the basis of race or gender is STILL ILLEGAL. There may be resistance, but you still have rights.

SO WHAT CAN YOU DO? ☑️ Call your senator. There are senators on both sides of the aisle who are expected to be on the fence. Hearing from their constituents could still sway them. Go to senate.gov/senators/senators-contact.htm or call (202) 224-3121 to find your senator’s contact info.

As Shannon Melero put it in our newsletter, “In other words, senators will yet again be sitting down with an unqualified and potentially dangerous white man to assess whether or not he is fit to have a job that the average American and 24,000 physicians can plainly see he cannot do.”

A guy who peddles anti-vaccine conspiracies, allegedly assaulted his family’s nanny, and was described by his own cousin as preying on the parents of sick children could be in charge of the federal agency that controls access to life-saving treatment and the future of medical research. 🫠

A photo of RFK Jr. at a lectern. Text reads "should this man be in charge of our public health? That's a hard no. Here's why, and what to do about it."

Black text on a green background reading, "Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s 'credentials.' Advocates against vaccines, including for COVID and measles. Does not believe HIV is the sole cause of AIDS (which it is). Has said 'I do not believe infectious disease is an enormous threat to human health.' His own family says he is a 'predator' who is 'addicted to attention and power.' Allegedly groped his family's nanny..."
