Erasing our history won't erase us.

Transgender people have always been here — and we always will be.

A memo listing all of the clubs eliminated by USMA.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

Me too. I'm just re-stacking. I never liked xwitter so there was patience curve for me with Bluesky. I'm excited though. Bluesky is supposed to launch a photo sharing app similar to insta called Flashes.

What my Black mother’s involuntary sterilization in 1965 reveals about America today Too often, the plantation mentality endures.

While my mother was in the hospital, physicians decided her reproductive life should end. While she was in labor, she was told that she had to consent to tubal ligation for the doctor to deliver her baby. This was part of a national program, sanctioned by state governments, that sterilized women.

Somewhere in the U.S., there’s a scientist staring at their NSF/NIH grant application wondering why they bother. This post is for you. Science and society both need you. Hang in there and know there is a whole community supporting you.

When I was a gay kid the government was letting gay people die

When I was a bilingual teacher the government was dismantling bilingual education

“Dystopian”: Trump issues new order to stamp out trans youth healthcare The directive targets gender-affirming treatment for anyone under 19.

“This is some alternate reality that they’re trying to impose on the world that’s counter to the lived experience of not only transgender people, but other people who know and love us.”

Here are the cities where ICE raids are taking place: Miami, Chicago, Atlanta, New York City, Phoenix and more U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested 956 people on Sunday — the largest number of arrests on a single day by the Trump administration to date.

He thinks it’s a game show. Every week, another 3 cities, they play every day until they get to 1500. They are tearing people away from their children and terrorizing large swaths of people whose only crime was fleeing violence or wanting better for their families. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...
