I hope the UT students are fighting for their right to learn about gender and race. Their voices carry the most weight.

Yes, and let's also remember #YourSlipIsShowing, the Black women activists who predicted all of this first and received no credit.

"Before Gamergate, before the 2016 election, they launched a campaign against Twitter trolls masquerading as women of color... If only more people had paid attention."

Remember when i said we're living in the scariest parts of a Gibson novel thanks to a bunch of dudes who misunderstand Gibson's novels?

Well now I want to discuss the verified govt accounts spewing rightwing propagandaβ€” possibly via a bot-run troll farmβ€” & why you should block them for your safety.

A lot of y’all are not arguing about whether or not violence, in and of itself, is right or wrong, you’re arguing about when YOU believe the violence is justified. Y’all love violence. You soak in it like bath water. And while water comes in different forms, some you may dislike, it’s still water.

For what it's worth, this is precisely the reason the Klan wore hoods when they terrorized communities and disappeared unfavored minorities.

Historically, it wasn't called doxxing it was just recognizing a fascist community member.

Breaking: The Trevor Project received a stop-work order last night on its contract with the national 988 suicide prevention hotline. The Trump administration is eliminating the option for LGBTQ callers to the hotline to press 3 and connect with someone who specializes in LGBTQ mental health.

In this article, my friend-colleagues and I suggest that rather than thinking about police contact as direct officer-civilian interactions (temporally constrained), we might view and measure it as PERPETUAL (1/4)

Some of the most chilling 2 minutes you've ever seen. Look at what's being said, openly, on one of the most popular TV channels in Israel.

History is happening in front of our eyes. Don't look away.

"We are willing to sacrifice these people's rights" is not a compelling campaign slogan (and it's already taken by the people we are supposed to oppose).

You do not defeat fascists by becoming them.

This is trivial but the way the Trump administration communicates basically everything is incredibly rudimentary. It’s written like none of them have any formal education and they want that for everyone. Sigh

Students Are Protesting For Palestine β€” And Being Punished β€” At Graduations β€œThere was just never any point where I was not going to say something,” one punished student told their student paper.

For the second year in a row, college graduation season is being marked by student activism in solidarity with Palestine, and consequent backlash.

The USA is barely recognizable after 4 months; if you think you can sit on the sidelines and it will be handed back to you in four years you are out of your mind.

If you want to understand what’s going on in the United States today, and why everything seems so vindictive, deliberately cruel, and inhumane, read Carol Anderson’s β€œWhite Rage: The Unspoken Truth of Our Racial Divide”

The International Sociological Association (ISA) has been concerned for some time and condemned the acts of violence that have occurred in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

My first GRA (now a prof at Depaul) bought me this shirt in 2019 because I would always tell my students numbers are tools not truth. It was quite literally my stats mantra. I say it so often that my research team adopted it as our lab motto. #Numbers4Justice #QuantCrit #CiteBlackWomen
