Jaw dropped. Trump Administration Removes Report on Missing and Murdered Native Americans, Calling It DEI Content

My experience has been with adults and young people alike, is that Americans want a history that tells the bad along with the good. They are smart enough to know that that is the nature of life.

Just how morally, ethically, intellectually bankrupt do you have to be to argue that 15-year-olds can sell sex but can’t affirm gender

3 Resources To Help Companies Design And Defend Legal DEI Programs Most business leaders still view diversity, equity and inclusion as a business necessity. Legal experts offer advice for designing and defending lawful DEI initiatives.

Legal experts cut through the political rhetoric to remind business leaders about what the law actually requires and permits when it comes to DEI.

Megyn Kelly said she thinks “there’s a difference between a 5 year old and a 15 year old” when it comes to sexual abuse. Megyn Kelly has a 14 year old daughter. Megyn Kelly is going to Hell.

Faculty doing what the administration won't- defending the institution.

The Supreme Court once again butchers equity and the law of stays in the course of making the world a worse place. And Justice Jackson is once again there to call them out on it with an opinion that will be a must-teach in any Remedies class

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week.

That’s the second reported and sourced story on US soldiers not being fed today

Zohran Mamdani's Establishment-Fighting Campaign Built Community for Young People “What Mamdani has done is not only inspire and mobilize young people, but he has exposed the establishment and some of their calcified views of participation and inclusion.”

here is my story about how Zohran's focus on community amid the loneliness epidemic helped young people connect their politics to an organizing infrastructure, that interviewed ZM, and does not use the NYT's framing of "they don't know how to make friends" :-) and also ran 4 days before NYT's lol

More Young People Will Go Hungry Without SNAP “We’re trying to make it, but it’s been hard.”

It feels a bit weird to post right now in light of what has happened to @teenvogue.com and so much of the incredible team there. What sources shared here is important, & I’m grateful I got to work on this. I reported on how young people are being impacted by delays to SNAP: “It’s about survival.”

Abominable.

Over 70 million Americans are set to lose SNAP benefits on November 1 if the shutdown continues.
86% of households receiving SNAP benefits include children, elderly and/or someone with a disability.

If you can, please consider donating to a food bank.

Upon reading this: omfg

"Fines" - this is what outrage looks like. Sure as hell not going toward SNAP or alleviating child or family hunger.

every university admin that is selling out trans people now—just like every one that sold out anti-genocide protestors before, with UCLA maybe more disgusting than any of them—is telling you what they will do to literally any other group of people in the way of their salaries & privilege

At long last, and after untold legal fees, UC has released the DoJ's proposed settlement terms to UCLA. Over $1B in fines, invasive monitoring, ideological vetting of international students, exclusion of trans athletes, etc. This would destroy the university as we know it.

ICE boosts weapons spending 700% A Popular Information investigation reveals tens of millions in new ICE spending on guns, chemical weapons, and explosives.

Here is the source - which used government docs for their reporting: popular.info/p/ice-boosts...

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

The President is building an army to attack his own country.

Millions took to the streets yesterday to be heard and that matters.

But the real work happens everyday in our communities. Get organized, lead with love, and move in solidarity.

We got us.

Holy crap Kara Walker chopped up a Stonewall Jackson statue and revealed a monster

We have a choice:

👉Deploying National Guard to D.C.: over $1.8 million per day

👉👉Deploying National Guard & Marines to LA: over $2.2 million per day

👉👉👉Deploying 20,000 National Guardsmen for one year: projected to cost $9.9 million per day

Voting in midterms 🗳️: Priceless and you #savedemocracy

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.
