The seeds of the country’s downfall were sown in a founding that was built on crimes against humanity, documents that purposely did not prepare for the corruption and rot of late stage capitalism, all combined with a religion that equated political wins with morality.

It’s particularly galling that so many on the left thought that Texas was trending purple. It became clear to me around 2013 that me and my boys weren’t going to be safe there, with open carry, campus carry, and the war on women.

If the Supreme Court grants this stay, not only will it let NIH to get back to what Reagan appointee Judge Young called the most palpable discrimination he’s seen in his 40 years on the bench.

It will also put ALL NIH science at risk.

I realized this when I lived in Austin, Texas and years of marching and protests at the Capitol had no impact. I left there in 2015.

100,000 People Marched at London Trans+ Pride. The Transphobic UK Media Ignored It. The UK’s biggest news outlets ignored a record-breaking march for trans equality, despite publishing dozens of trans stories each week.

πŸ³β€βš§ 100,000 people marched at London Trans+ Pride yesterday - but the BBC, Times, Telegraph & Daily Mail ignored it completely.

These outlets publish dozens of anti-trans stories a week. But when trans people show joy, pride, and solidarity?

πŸ¦— Silence.

POLITICO compiled a list of all the Washington Post staffers who have left in the past eight months. It’s at least a hundred names, many of them among the biggest names in journalism. This is the fastest erosion of a major outlet ever.

Franco-Americans and Ethnic Whiteness in the American Racial Ecosystem The cross-pollination of immigration history and race studies that began to assert itself in the 1990s remains an extremely fertile field of research. Recent eventsβ€”the rise of Black Lives Matter, …

It was a year ago that my article on Franco-Americans' racial thinking appeared in the J. of Historyβ€”timely, considering the CHR special issue that appeared at the same time. But there is still a lot of work to do. My piece on the @iehs.bsky.social blog offers a glimpse.

I’m wondering if this will be a problem in Canada - I think we have different regs on student privacy, certainly Quebec was strict about that.
