A big reason for everything happening in the US right now is that they spent the last century crushing every semblance of an organized left that has ever existed and it was a very bipartisan effort.

At my school they broke bones until the protests stopped.

Community health centers are closing amid funding confusion Community health centers are facing a potential federal freeze on their grants and funding following orders from Trump.

Some federally funded community health centers — which serve rural areas with limited access to medical care — are still unable to access grant funding and are shutting down because of Trump's spending freeze.

We are witnessing an attack on America's most vulnerable people.

seriously, why did we need kippah guy for this headline

"inconveniences"!

I'm too lazy to have a robot do my job, so I'm just doing my job myself. The lazy way.

Who in sociology is doing work around the anti-woke/anti-DEI element of Trumpism?

I'd worry about Ba’al Teshaktzu

And even then the movie sucks because the evidence for Roman salutes is piss poor.

I got into it with my dad today about whether it was. He says no, because The Atlantic says no.

oh for sure. Everyone I know who had a bunch of followers on TikTok is like "you can follow me other places but I'm not like this there"

It's kind of wild how migrations between social media platforms just kind of reroll influence periodically. I had 20k followers on TikTok and now I'm on Bluesky and I have like 20 followers.

I did too

This is trans woman erasure.

As people are navigating the pending TikTok ban, there's been a lot of conversation about how these digital places are really not interchangeable. Even if everybody on one all moved together to a different one, it wouldn't be the same.

I came across the term "vibes-based prosecution" in a paper on pregnancy criminalization a while back.

There's an IAT for transphobia now! I apparently have a "moderate" preference for trans people over cis people.

"Virtue signaling" is an alt right term that implies that people do leftist things for clout rather than out of sincere belief. Its use tends to further imply that basically nobody ever does anything moral for genuine reasons. It's an ugly concept and its use here is telling.

Not Only Do Campus Sexual Assailants Go Unpunished, They Often Get Special Treatment Since 2007, Jezebel has been the Internet's most treasured source for everything celebrities, sex, and politics...with teeth.

I talked to @nbedera.bsky.social about her devastating research into Title IX offices & new book On the Wrong Side: “There’s this myth men’s lives are ruined when they’re accused of sexual violence—it isn’t just untrue, it becomes justification for giving them benefits to compensate for that."

I completed a masters thesis on race discourse in the first hundred years of the Journal of the American Medical Association.

The Most Powerful Man in America is a Nazi Sympathizer Elon Musk is just the latest billionaire to exert tremendous influence over U.S. politics. When he says he supports Neo-Nazis, take him at his word.

I'm officially starting work on my qualifying exams this term, though in reality I started last term. I got about halfway done with my reading before hitting a multifaceted health roadblock that meant I took about six weeks off unscheduled from working on quals. Adjusted schedule looks okay though.

I don't know if anyone would care about microblogging my scholarship process but I'm working on an article right now and I think I solved a niche problem I've been stuck on for a few weeks. I'm running my solution by a mentor but I'm feeling optimistic.

I knew that villain came from poor but this has made me realize that "Farmville" means "farmfarm"

I don't believe in good people versus bad people but the existence of billionaires is bad and no particular billionaires are exceptions to that.

This argument comes up around differentiating antisemitism and anti-Zionism, a thing that we should be doing, but we should not be using 19th century race science for this or any other task because 19th century race science is bullshit.

As a scholar of medical racism I cringe hard when people make the "but Arabs are Semites" argument. "Antisemitism" was coined to describe anti-Jewish hatred, while Arabs and Jews "are Semites" according to 19th century race science. It does not benefit us to validate 19th century race science.
